Obama spending America's money like a drunk sailor
U.S. President Barack Obama, has made the
first 400 million dollar payment of 1.7 billion dollars, to
be paid to Iran, whose government has repeatedly vowed to
wipe America off the face of the earth. Obama sent the 400
million in cash via a secret airplane drop, delivering the
huge sum of U.S. taxpayer money to the Iranian government.
Obama claims the payment was made in cash,
as America has no banking relationship with Iran. However,
the U.S. Treasury Department has confirmed that on two
previous occasions, in unrelated matters, the American
government has wired Iran money. Therefore, the Obama
Administration is not being truthful. All this taxpayer
money went to Iran, with no accountability and will be hard
to trace.

U.S. wire payments to Iran undercut Obama

AM EDT - The United States made at least two separate
payments to the Iranian government via wire transfer within
the last 14 months, a Treasury Department spokesman
confirmed Saturday, contradicting explanations from
President Barack Obama that such payments were impossible.
Responding to questions at an Aug. 4 press
conference about a $400 million payment delivered in cash to
the Iranian government, Obama said, “[T]he reason that we
had to give them cash is precisely because we are so strict
in maintaining sanctions and we do not have a banking
relationship with Iran that we couldn't send them a check
and we could not wire the money.”
But a Treasury Department spokesman
acknowledged on Saturday that on at least two occasions, the
U.S. did make payments to the Iranian government via wire
transfer.
That $400 million cash payment that Obama
said could not have been delivered any other way was part of
a larger $1.7 billion settlement with Iran, the remainder of
which was also delivered in cash. The $400 million, paid in
January to settle a decades-old dispute over military
equipment order by the late shah of Iran, was sent through
intermediary central banks in Europe, who then delivered
pallets of euros, Swiss francs and other currencies to
Tehran.
