In this article, I read about president Obama giving Iran $400 million to release American prisoners. This is very frightening and a bad move because he just personally funded a country known for terror attacks. There is also a U.S. policy to not pay ransoms for prisoners because it will then just entice terrorists to capture our citizens and hold them hostage. By saving a few Americans from imprisonment, he has now threatened the safety of all of America by funding them to make more weapons. Another part of this article was that Senator Mark Kirk said Obama was "acting like the drug dealer in chief" about this cash deal he made with Iran. This is both funny and rude, but Senator Kirk is simply utilizing his blessing of liberty obtained by our government.
