The White House has responded to a popular petition that demands the release of U.S. Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi from a Mexican prison, explaining that the Obama administration respects the rule of law and will continue to monitor the situation to make sure the soldier is treated fairly.

More than 134,000 people signed a petition on the White House’s “We the People” website asking the president to demand the release of Sgt. Tahmooressi, who was imprisoned nearly five months ago for illegally crossing from California into Mexico with three firearms in his truck. The Marine maintains that he crossed the border by accident after making a wrong turn on his way to meet a friend. He faces up to 14 years in prison if convicted.

Someone needs to tell the Village (People) Idiot that there is an internet, with videos and news stories and stuff. He can’t just make up a new history for his administration every day.

Mr. I have a phone and a pen respects the rule of law? It would be funny if those clowns weren’t such destructive liars.

He's a pathetic pathological liar.

Just wait until he's out of office and cannot protect or conceal information about himself. He will become an industry unto himself.

Comedians, gossip mags, and folks on the the interweb are going to have a field day bringing his shiite to light.

He will have more people digging and probing into his stuff than Johns Hopkins has archaeologists.

For a leftist Muslim Coloradans traitor all the king’s horses and men will move heaven and earth.

For a loyal Marine...?

Nary a finger lifted.

Tahmooressi should temporarily convert to Islam. He would be sprung in a matter of hours.

Quotes the law when it suits him, ignores it when it doesn’t. Typical liberal.

Barack Obama respects his nation’s laws.

Too bad he doesn’t respect ours.

How ‘bout we trade Bergdahl for this Marine?

Don’t blame BamBam - his caddy hasn’t told him about Tahmooressi yet.

I propose a swap...the traitor Bergdahl for SGT Tamooressi.
The Pygmy in the White House could find out where Pena Nieto
keeps his money in USA, and have it deleted. Such action would get our hostage -SGT Tamooressi- back in minutes.

Oh really? Like the laws against millions of people illegally crossing our borders and immediately jumping like fleas onto the almost dead dog?
