| Foreign Relations: A veteran of Iraq and Afghanistan is chained to a jail bed for months after trying to register a souvenir rifle with Mexican authorities, and the Obama administration does nothing to correct this injustice.Since August, Jon Hammar, a former Marine who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, has been held in a notorious Mexican prison effectively run by the Zetas drug cartel. His crime: declaring to Mexican authorities that he was transporting an antique shotgun after registering the gun with U.S. Customs agents on his way to a surfing trip with buddies in Costa Rica.

Obama gives up a Marine as a sacrifice to Mexican authorities still peeved over Barack´s illegal gunrunning operation.
Make a trade. The Won for Jon Hammar.

This "administration" is "idealistic", in that it hates all things traditionally American. The American citizen in question is a combat veteran (therefore suspected of being at statistical risk of being a potential "terrorist" according to DHS dogma), and is also "not a person of color" (therefore not one of Holder or Obama´s "people"). Unless significant political pressure is brought to bear on this "administration" (through Congress or perhaps private sources) this man will be abandoned by his "government" (for which he risked life and lost limbs) and continue to be tortured by the Mexican "government".

Unfortunately it´s not the "government" that is holding Jon Hammer, it´s the drug cartels to whom hussein has catered with F&F. The Mexican Government is terrified of these criminals who control their government and was aided and abetted by this admin. hussein has no idea how to take care of this situation or any others. Maybe a golf game with Boehner would be advantageous!

There´s something missing in this story. Why did this young man think he could carry this weapon in countries that strictly prohibit them? The fact that it is an antique and handed down in his family is irrelevant.I own one of these and, yes, it´s like a BB gun- just one that sends dozens of BBs at velocity about four times that of a Daisy air rifle. One of he first things I did in preparation for an upcoming vacation in Puerto Rico is to see if I could check it in my luggage and carry it in PR( thinking that they are almost a U.S state in so many respects and I had I found it relatively easy to travel to a Keys vacation with my handgun).It was made most apparent that I will be protected only by my wits and better judgement while visiting. Yes, we should do everything to get this soldier home but I also think this story has parts missing.

What #6 said. Unfortunately for Jon Hammar, he doesn´t look like he could be obama´s "son", or this would be over and he would be back home. The fact that the former Marine served in both Iraq AND Afghanistan doesn´t matter to the most anti-American "president" in the history of this Country. Thanks again, obamabots. Sleep well.

as previous posters have implied, this is just about trying to extort a million dollar bribe to get him out. Since he´s an ex-serviceman, they think the US government (or his family) will come up with the money.
Extortion, plain and simple. It´s what the Mexicans do, it´s what they´ve always done.

National Security: The administration moves an advanced missile defense system to Guam because it knows a single low-yield nuke detonated at high altitude could send America back in time a hundred years. The announcement Wednesday by the Defense Department that it would soon deploy the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense System (THAAD), a missile defense system inherited from the Bush administration, to Guam underscores the seriousness of the threat from North Korea, whose actions, Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel rightly said, "present a real and clear danger."

Cleopatra Cowley-Pendleton, the mother of murdered 15-year-old Chicago teen Hadiya Pendleton, was one of 20 mothers who lost children to criminal violence who were at the White House last Thursday to hear President Obama speak once again on the need for gun control.

War On Terrorism: We have a medal for those who remotely operate drones, but the Pentagon claims awarding the victims of the 2009 shooting with Purple Hearts would jeopardize the shooter´s chance at a fair trial. We recently noted that the Obama administration´s shameful designation of the Nov. 5, 2009, rampage at the Army base in Killeen, Texas, by Major Nidal Hasan as "workplace violence" had denied survivors benefits they would have been entitled to had the attack been properly labeled an act of terror.

Marriage Decline: The disintegration of the nuclear family — particularly in the African-American community — and the rise in fatherless homes have greater societal implications than gay marriage, yet few pay attention. The debate over gay marriage has taken center stage with two cases, one involving California´s Proposition 8 which bans it, and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which bars federal agencies recognizing the validity of same-sex marriages in the states where they are legal, now before the U.S. Supreme Court.

The second annual Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report on "Employment in Green Goods and Services," released Tuesday, will be the last, allegedly a casualty of the same sequestration that claimed the White House tours and may doom the Easter egg hunt on the White House lawn.

Religion: The change that swept Eastern Europe in the 1980s and fueled the collapse of the Soviet Union may find itself repeated by a new pope with similar disdain for the authoritarian governments of his region. When Cardinal Karol Wojtyla stepped out on the balcony of St. Peter´s in 1978 as Pope John Paul II, Soviet communism still stood astride Eastern Europe and his native Poland.

If so it´s not because of anything the president did. ´I can tell you that the United States is fully capable of defending against any North Korean ballistic missile attack," White House spokesman Jay Carney said on Thursday after North Korea´s raging runt, Kim Jong-un, said Pyongyang was scrapping the 1953 armistice deal that ended the Korean War.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter.

They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary….

After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B.

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
