Obama Apparently Ransomed Prisoners of Iran for $400 Million

Four prisoners held by Iran were released when President Obama sent $400 million on a jet to Tehran. The White House says the money was part of a settlement for an ancient hostage crisis or something like that. The President might have decided the U.S.A. owes Iran $2 billion dollars for room and board for the hostages held in the 1979 embassy takeover-I am just not sure and am guessing here.

Plainly the timing was that of paying ransom to terrorists. Really though I think the President just likes Iran a lot and would like to buy a condo there next year.
