Former President Barack Obama has issued a statement about Otto Warmbier, the American college student who died this week, days after being released from North Korea in a coma after more than a year in captivity.


quote:

“During the course of the Obama Administration, we had no higher priority than securing the release of Americans detained overseas,” Obama spokesman Ned Price said in the statement. “Their tireless efforts resulted in the release of at least 10 Americans from North Korean custody during the course of the Obama administration.”

Added Price, who was National Security Counsel spokesperson during Obama’s administration: “It is painful that Mr. Warmbier was not among them, but our efforts on his behalf never ceased, even in the waning days of the administration. Our thoughts and prayers are with Mr. Warmbier’s family and all who had the blessing of knowing him.”

Takes more than a carefully crafted statement to wash blood from your hands.

If he didn't want to remind anyone of his failure, he should have stayed quiet.

I'm sure it weighs heavy on his heart. He probably agonized over it when he wasn't slow-jamming the news.

It's not like Trump did anything to help his release. NK just sent him here to spend his final days so he didn't have to die under their watch.

I usually lie about how I tried real hard when I get fronted at work for not doing something I was supposed to do too.

Obama cared about it just enough to have a no-name spokesman give a statement.

Bro it took pallets of cash in various currencies flown by night to get someone released from Iran. You weren't going to make real headway with NK

Doesn't seem to coincide with the father of Otto statements.

Best I recall he pretty much no commented followed by he got no help followed by he could not get any responses from State or Executive office.

Maybe I just heard it wrong, surely Obarry wouldn't lie.

I really hate playing politics when it comes to something like this.

Link indicating he did help secure his release? Until I see evidence I'll assume he was a non-factor.

If Barry cares so much, then why was he asking the Warmbier family to hush up about it?
