| BeWare | 13 days ago. The south end of a north bound horse lies again. I think he is pathological. President Obama Denies $400 Million Payment to Iran Was a Ransom
President Barack Obama attempted to shoot down speculation that the United States had paid a ransom to Iran for the release of four American hostages.
Instead, Obama said Thursday that a $400 million cash transfer sent to Tehran in January only coincidentally aligned with the release of the hostages.

| Randy Cobb | Thanks Rich.
Googled and found a lot of stories.
Shouting back to lib friends who denied it was ransom. |
| KlasKat | We all should know by now that all of what Obama says is ALL lies, when I hear him start to talk I hit the mute button before I throw up in my mouth. Just take what he says and turn it around 180 and you will have what he really wants to do. 5 more months of this worthless empty suite. |
| Randy Cobb | Be interesting how the media covers this?
More like....I wonder how the media will spin this?This is an outright lie.
If I remember right, he said linking the $400m and the release was not a ransom and to say so was playing politics. |
| ed monahan | A VERY SMALL article on the inside page of USA TODAY and they still didn't really come out and admit it, kind of played with the words a little so it didn't sound quite as bad. Incredible. |
