Obama Derangement Syndrome strikes again. It's an epidemic.
Obama and company have been taking a victory lap. Foolishly. Not just because Iran basically doesn't lose anything and gained everything, but 4 Americans are still being held by Iran. I don't think we gained a damn thing with this deal, and even worse, we couldn't free these guys?! He makes a deal to release terrorists for a rogue treasonous soldier yet doesn't fight for these men's release?
That is the question of the day, and quite a pathetic response from a president.
Just for clarification and validation of your judgement of Obama, what exactly was the President's response to Major's question? Seem's Fox conveniently left it out and replaced it with wild, negative speculation, such as your's on Obama's thoughts and motives.
The press conference must not have gone well since CNN is going with the hot topic of prison overcrowding.
Also amazing that Major Garrett now works for CBS. So CBS is going to have to go behind the scenes to patch things up with the executive branch. Maybe run more late night skits insulting GOP candidates?

Seriously?
Question of the day? More like the editorial of the hour.
As for the response, the first part regarding hostages was on the money. The second part regarding sanctions on ballistic missiles and conventional arms had already been addressed by the Obama.
The Iran deal was between 5 nations plus 1 negotiating with Iran to curtail their nuclear weapons program. It was not just about America's interests. It was not about Iran sponsoring terrorism, it was not about US prisoners. It was about nuclear weapons and their manufacture...........period.
The prisoners are being negotiated through traditional back door, diplomatic channels and will be released within 6 months. You can bet on it.
Some of the most heinous criminals in Iran, under this "deal," would be having sanctions against them lifted. Surely having 4 Americans immediately released could have been part of this "plan."

And, if the release were within months, Obama would have had a legitimate answer to the reporter instead of insulting him for his question.

Try the Daily Beast not the Guardian and from the story...
“His designation under U.S. sanctions will in no way be impacted by the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action reached today,” the Treasury official said. She added that “secondary sanctions remain in place on the U.S. side,” which means that anyone or any company doing business with Soleimani can also be penalized.
