I guess ISIS is running low on cash, and Obama wants to help them out any way he can.

Gotta get more money flowing to the Muslim Brotherhood.

You cannot depend on .Gov to save you, or someone you love.
The rest is up to you.

Doesn’t he take an oath to “faithfully execute the laws” of this country?
Obama does not get to pick and choose.
Impeach him! Now!

I guess the president needs to issue Letters of Mark against those who practice this kidnapping for ransom against US Citizens.

Possibly. But if it was your loved one, would you like to be shut out of the dealings in favor of some bureaucrat?
Other countries allow this. Reagan did it. It's easy to say "Never negotiate!" But in the real world, we shouldn't be governed by bumper sticker logic.
This is actually government surrendering a little power. It sounds like a positive step to me.

Why worry? All the kidnappings and violence are going to stop as soon as the Confederate Battle Flag gets banned.

You’re right, it will.... but the “important” thing is that it takes the burden of decision-making off the president, who won’t tolerate responsibility for his decisions or his failure to make decisions.
Whatever happens to hostages can thus be blamed on the families.
