American Citizens in jails (2 cases)

[Gina]

So we have a Marine in a Mexican jail. I have seen no help from Obama for him.

We also have an American citizen whose wife is in jail for 100 lashes and death just for being a Christian in a Muslim nation. Both of her children are right beside her in disgusting surroundings.

They haven't even gotten a hashtag and sad face from the  first lady.

Why aren't our representatives having a fit over this?!!!!!!!!

Why aren't liberals screaming about the treatment of this woman and family?  Is the fact that she is Christian and being persecuted by Muslims a factor?  Are they pretty much okay with this?  I am so beyond upset over the treatment of our citizens in other countries that get friggin financial aid from us. I hate Obama. I mean I outright hate him.  He is so anti-American it's not even funny anymore.  Why isn't anyone taking him to task over this injustice????!!!

So we have a Marine in a Mexican jail. I have seen no help from Obama for him. He has been a bit pre-occupied with freeing tens of thousands of illegal criminals from our jails into the U.S. population and doesn't have time to deal with the petty problems of a U.S. Marine.

We also have an American citizen whose wife is in jail for 100 lashes and death just for being a Christian in a Muslim nation. Both of her children are right beside her in disgusting surroundings.

They haven't even gotten a hashtag and sad face from the  first lady.  The obama's don't want to offend the muslims

Why aren't our representatives having a fit over this?!!!!!!!! because they don't represent the interests of the U.S. Citizen.

Why aren't liberals screaming about the treatment of this woman and family?  Is the fact that she is Christian and being persecuted by Muslims a factor?  yes Are they pretty much okay with this? again, yes  I am so beyond upset over the treatment of our citizens in other countries that get friggin financial aid from us. I hate Obama. you are not alone I mean I outright hate him.  He is so anti-American it's not even funny anymore.  Why isn't anyone taking him to task over this injustice????!!! they don't want to be labeled a racist for criticizing his inaction in assisting U.S. Citizens.

I forgot about the other man in Iran, Pastor Saeed.

President Obama's remarks from the National Prayer Breakfast included a direct appeal regarding Pastor Saeed:

"We pray for Pastor Saeed Abedini. He's been held in Iran for more than 18 months - sentenced to eight years in prison on charges relating to his Christian beliefs.  And as we continue to work for his freedom today, again, we call on the Iranian government to release Pastor Abedini so he can return to the loving arms of his wife and children in Idaho."

President Obama raised the issue of Pastor Saeed in a private phone call with Iran's President Rouhani last fall but today's comments mark the first time that President Obama has publicly addressed Pastor Saeed's plight.
