OMFG.

Let’s have crowd-sourcing to release your neighbor from down the block.

It’s U.S. Government policy!

The leftist freaks’ defense of their god-king in this case seems to be, “Why would you want the federal government getting in your way {by not letting you pay ransom} in your effort to retrieve your loved ones?”

Obama’s terrorist buddies need the cash. U.S. Businesses need to get out of the Middle East ASAP, because their executives will be targets for Islamist kidnapping.

Brick by brick America is being dismantled. And the Republicans simply stand by... watching.

How else is Obama going to help fund Muslims and encourage hostage taking for profit?

Putting a price tag on every American's head is a bad thing. But advertising it is even worse.

Before long we'll realize that poor people are unable to pay ransoms therefore our socialist government should step in a pick up the tab. Eventually we will have a price list for the ransom of hostages:

$$$$$ for government employees
$$$$ for students
$$$ for regular tourists

The POTUS is a brilliant leader who makes wise decisions. By telling the world that people can now pay money for hostages, the word will spread. Obviously this will decrease kidnappings. This will make all Americans everywhere safer for generations to come. We are all better off with this moral, generousness, freedom loving wise leader making such good decisions.

The hospital in Hawaii he was born in should be a shrine.

The Republicans are not watching.

They are now actively participating.

The punishment of Conservatives who vote against the Party line now taking place under Boehner is not even seen under the Democrat side.

He does that and no one can got to Mexico, Hawii, Puerto Rico, Bahama for starters.....think of all those University trips abroad for alumni, wealthy alumni....they won't be able to travel along any more.....If the Senate and the Congress especially the Democrats even the Progressive Democrats let this pass, Americans can kiss travel good bye.

The badly educated/ill-informed/lazy voted this anti-American in twice....how utterly foolish they are and how uncaring for their Country...this is their man

....he doesn't care about U.S. Citizens...he hates all America.

Just wait until they see the tidal wave of protest in November 2016. I have never actively sat out an election. I will do so in protest in 2016, but will make a singular exception for Cruz.

I don’t care who wins or who loses. I don’t care if “this is the most important election in my lifetime...” McConnell and Boehner need to go!

Amen, brother.

If JEb is the GOP nominee running against Hillary, I am not voting for JEb.

The GOP will scream “Then Hillary will win!”

And I’ll say “What the hell is the difference?”

What’s the new rule … we can now trade up to 10 known terrorists for deserters?

The federal government itself would maintain its policy of not negotiating with hostage-takers.

That sounds like a lot of Bergdahl to me. A pant load of 0bama.

exactly- while it’s terrible that individual people get kidnapped, and we certainly feel for the parents and family- paying for their release makes MORE families susceptible and will cause MORE grief and terror- that is why we did NOT allow it- because there is a ‘greater good’ involved here- not just ‘individual good’

Make sure before you go to Mexico that your family isn’t wealthy. 0dungo is offering up Americans as hostages in ANY foreign country.
