The deal to lift some sanctions against Iran is drawing fire from many quarters, from 'why do it at all' to 'the sanctions do nothing more than provide Iran cover' as they continue their march toward obtaining a nuclear weapon.
But there is one part of the deal that wasn't part of the deal, and it stinks.
An American pastor, Saeed Abedini, is serving an 8 year sentence in an Iranian prison because of his Christian faith. Efforts to gain

Iran pushed for this deal (and frankly, it favors them) and to get it Saeed Abedini's release should have been front and center. Ink should not have met paper until he was safely in U.S. hands. But President Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry blew it. It's said that Kerry didn't even put the issue on the table. Click the link to read Kerry Had Chance To Secure Abedini's Release

This is an abomination. One must question what President Obama has against protecting Americans in Middle Eastern countries. Besides allowing Abedini to rot in an Iranian jail, Obama did nothing, allowing four Americans to die during a terrorist attack in Benghazi, Libya last year. Protecting this country and its people if JOB 1 for any sitting president. We know of Obama's affection for Islam and his disaffection for the Christian faith. In the past he has omited the word "Creator" and "God" from the Declaration of Independence and just this month the president omitted God from Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Watch:
So, is it any wonder that Saeed Abedini still sits in an Iranian prison? Not that Ronald Reagan, George Bush or even Bill Clinton would have negotiated such an abhorrent agreement with a terrorist regime such as the Iranians, but had they, they would have gotten Abedini out as part of the deal. What is wrong with the man we now call president. Where do his allegiances really lie? Just askin'.
