Fox News host Greta Van Susteren says she is “furious” at President Barack Obama after he apparently failed to even mention jailed U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi during a discussion with the president of Mexico this week.
“I’m furious at President Obama and you should be too. At best, he blew it. At worst, he doesn’t give a damn,” Van Susteren said.
The two presidents discussed the U.S. border crisis but, according to the White House’s own notes of the call, Tahmooressi’s name never came up.
The former U.S. Marine has been locked up in a Mexican prison for months after he allegedly took a wrong turn near the border. He was arrested at a checkpoint because he was traveling with firearms.
“President Obama had his chance in that call to help Sgt. Tahmooressi, but he let us all down big time,” Van Susteren added.

There is nothing more fun or better for mak'en you feel all MANLY than making fun of someone less fortunate!!!
Too bad she is not in a wheel chair than we could add gimp to the insult...
If she were a burn victim and horribly scared that would really be great then we could point out how ugly she is and could hire herself out for Halloween Haunted Houses!!!
Every time I see someone with a disabled child I laugh and point... It makes me feel so so Superior to them!!!
Those that have lost both arms are the luckiest... Every time they ride a bike they can say, "Look Maw, no hands!!!" and mean it...
Since I am not lame or have a medical problem I AM SUPERIOR!!!
Some will get it, some will not... I am blessed. And I know it. There but for the grace of God (go I).
As far as her opinions go... She is just another shock jock reporter looking for ratings. She is pandering to her audience... At least off the other Fox reporters I can have a good laugh once in a while.

You know Club, you accusing all rightwingers of being against Obama just because his black is getting old. Are you that blind to his destructful policies and actions that those cannot be judged on their own merit? This guy is a freaking disaster no matter what color he is.

dan, you should know i'm critical of obama in several areas. but it's difficult to ever have an intelligent discussion about obama's faults because of people who hate everything the guy does and focuses on so much stupid insignificant garbage and are hypocritical without any credibility because they hate obama for the same garbage prior presidents did when they were fine with it. those people, by definition, are rightwingers. the lowest common denominator foxnews viewers.
now, if you are someone critical of obama for logical and important reasons, as i am, as dj is, as tilt is, as bunny is, as money is, as you are and as others are (can't name everyone), then you're not a rightwinger.
as for this article, i didn't read beyond "Fox News host [some dumbfuck] says she is “furious” at President Barack Obama after he" because i drank a lot last night and didn't want to lose the additional brain cells that are necessarily compromised when reading an article that starts in that manner.

Fair enough, but for you to bring up the "black fella" in your comment seemed to mean an attempt to just brush aside any valid critizism that might have been in the article (that you admit you didn't read).
I know you have had your criticisms on Obama and posted on here.

you can't tell me obama is an evil socialist if you ignored the massive welfare, corporate and otherwise, prior presidents gave out
you can't tell me giving up 5 taliban for one pow is the worst thing in the world if you were fine with bush letting 500 or so guantamo detainees go without getting any american captives in return
you can't tell me oibama is the worst for negotiating with terrorists if you were ok with reagan trading arms for terrorists
you can't tell me obama is trying to take all of your guns and he needs to be impeached if you weren't trying to impeach reagan for his gun control comments
you can't tell me obamacare is the worst thing to ever happen to the human race if you supported romney
you can't tell me obama spends too much money if you were complaining about bush spending a ridiculous amount on the wars he started for no apparent reason
now, rightwingers will read that and assume obama supporters are blaming other presidents rather than obama. but, as dj alluded to yesterday, it's about credibility and if you weren't made when a republican president did it, you have no credibility when you pretend like obama is the worst thing ever when he does it. in other words rightwingers have no credibility whatsoever.
and as dj and money and tilt know well, when rightwingers lose all credibility, no normal people listen to them. when objective people tune them out, you get obama for 8 years and then hillary for another 8. and people like us aren't too pleased about that. rightwingers are too dumb to understand this, and it's not even close, but to be anti-democrat is to be anti-rightwinger first and foremost.

at some poiont, to me, that's what it is. when you hate everything obama does even when your president or politician did it in the past, that's exactly how racism manifests itself. isn't it?
i didn't read the article but is this jackass really furious about this marine in mexico? how many articles did she write before bergdhal got release? and why is this such a travesty? i just read one article but didn't he seemingly commit a crime in mexico by bringing guns there?
but again, i'm all for any logical, non-hypocritical criticism of obama from a credible source.

I believe the criticism involves many factors. We have had people get stuck on that road going into Mexico with no way of turning around due to construction and barriers. The only way to do that is to proceed through the checkpoint then turn around. Mexico has cooperated in the past. In this case, the marine told the US people he had the guns before even crossing into Mexico and was told to just declare them and it will be ok. We all know what happened next. Now, none of this is Obama's fault of course, it is just some backround.
The US has caught/detained hundreds of Mexican policia and military on US soil, held them for a short time to get their statement down on why they crossed and then released them back to Mexico. This is what should have been done in this case with our marine. The criticism of Obama has been that he has had direct talks with the Mexican President and apparently hasn't even asked for the marine's release or for the judicial process to be expeditied. He is down there getting beaten by a supposed ally of the US. WTF is that? Where is Obama demanding his release? One of the few statements I've seen from Obama was something about the marine did break the law so he needs to go through their legal process. Really? It was a simple mistake and there was no intent on smuggling or selling guns. He should have been out of there in a few days just like we do for the Mexican police/militart but he has been there for almost 3 months with a diet of bread and sugar water.
How would Mexico or the world react if we provided that same courtesy to every illegal that we caught crossing the border?

as far as i know, if an illegal comes across and is caught with guns or drugs, he isn't released but is going to be spending some serious time in federal prison.
as to your post, how do we know this was a simple mistake by the marine. if we asked everyone in our prisons who is there because he illegally possessed something (i.e. guns or drugs), i'm sure they'd all either deny it or say it was a mistake of some sort. but we wouldn't release those people because they said it. so, i'm skeptical of believing someone who apparently committed a crime who says it was a simple mistake.
that being said, if all that is true, then i agree with you that obama should take some steps to get this guy back, which wouldn't seem like it would be that difficult. it's not like dealing with mexico is like dealing with the middle east countries or the taliban.

This mindless ramble paradoxically points out exactly why "it's difficult for you to have an intelligent discussion" and it has nothing to do with obama or right wingers.

You can't claim to be level headed or even rational if you (or in this case obviously someone feeding you talking points) sifted through an entire United States history to come up with examples that when interpreted in some skewed way and most notably with hindsight might possibly serve as counterexamples to what obama has done in 5.5 years.
Nor do you have any credibility throwing the race card without the obvious caveat that a) he would never have been elected w/o white voters b) undeniably many if not most blacks voted for him based on race c) were he white, he would have been viewed as the untested and unqualified boob he obviously was and has proven to be.

Cano - Is Club's post a twofer? Maybe liberal tactics 1 and 6??
You know the fact that you are begging for acceptance from sheep like Can, Bowl, and SS says a lot more about you than anyone else.
I did actually used to read your posts because I thought you actually hated the sheepishness that permeates your party. . Now, you are just another right winger who is too afraid to stand up to his own party for absolute ridiculousness.

a) clearly true

c) pretty general statement, but i'm not going to argue with it.
but you're missing my point in the post you quoted. you're referring to the democrat sheep. i don't see them as the problem. if you truly want a legitimate, sane, effective, conservative president, you'll never get the don juan vote. the failure is letting the nuts take over the republican party so people in the middle as well as traditional conservative, for lack of a better term, run quickly and far away.

Too bad.
Oh I criticize the Republicans often as it is deserved. The post by Club just struck a nerve because I recently had an argument with a family member that basically said I'm racist because I was critical of this President on a few issues. It irritates me to no end when someone cannot debate the actual subject and goes to the race card when they are backed up against the wall and have no logical argument.

Club, I'm going with the simple mistake theory because he clearly told the US agents on US soil what happened. He made a wrong turn and got stuck in the to Mexico lane with no way to turn around. The marine told US agents he had guns but couldn't go back. He even voluntarily told the Mexicans as he entered. That in hindsight was dumb but he took the advice of the US agents.
I'm not expecting Obama to snap his fingers and get this done but surely this could have been taken care of relatively quickly if he got involved.

could be, but i'd say at least half of the people in his situation tell the cops/authorities what they have because they know the cops are going to find it anyway and hope the honesty approach wins them favor with the cops (free legal advice- it rarely does). but maybe i'm jaded hearing the same stories from criminals' over and over.
but if it was a mistake, people it is still may be a crime under mexico law and a lot of people have serious legal problems even though they made mistakes like this.
for instance, the guy who buys marijuana in colorado and forgets to take it out of his bag and gets caught with it at the mexican airport (or most american airports) will have a problem with the mexican police.
but i agree that obama could probably get this fixed. of course, the incident didn't happen that long ago so maybe it will get cleared up.
all that being said, i'm skeptical that this foxnews lady is "furious" about it. i'm guessing her "fury" increased significantly after the bergdhal exchange.

Going by car from the US to Mexico, you do not get searched on the US side. Going into Mexico you either get the green light and carry on with no search or you get the red light and need to pull over (I've had this 3 times). During this time they ask where you are headed and look inside your vehicle. If they have reason to believe you are smuggling in some contraband, they will do an extensive search. On the US side they ask if you have weapons or over $10k in cash. I just don't see why the US didn't take the guns as he turned around in Mexico and then give them back to him in 15 minutes when he came back over. Makes no sense.
In Greta's defense she is very consistant in standing up for the rights and well being of our military and vets regardless of President. I'll look for the quote or whatever I can find but I do recall her being rightfully critical of Bush/Cheney on some things regarding the military. You are correct that the 5-1 trade didn't help, but she has been on the marine in Mexico story well before the trade and has been calling on Obama to get involved.

all that being said, i'm skeptical that this foxnews lady is "furious" about it. i'm guessing her "fury" increased significantly after the bergdhal exchange.
Going by car from the US to Mexico, you do not get searched on the US side. Going into Mexico you either get the green light and carry on with no search or you get the red light and need to pull over (I've had this 3 times). During this time they ask where you are headed and look inside your vehicle. If they have reason to believe you are smuggling in some contraband, they will do an extensive search. On the US side they ask if you have weapons or over $10k in cash. I just don't see why the US didn't take the guns as he turned around in Mexico and then give them back to him in 15 minutes when he came back over. Makes no sense.
In Greta's defense she is very consistant in standing up for the rights and well being of our military and vets regardless of President. I'll look for the quote or whatever I can find but I do recall her being rightfully critical of Bush/Cheney on some things regarding the military. You are correct that the 5-1 trade didn't help, but she has been on the marine in Mexico story well before the trade and has been calling on Obama to get involved.
sounds like this guy is getting screwed. hopefully, either the US will take care of it and get him back or we get a plausible explanation why it isn't happening.
