I don't think the administration has ever picked up the ball, much less dropped it.

The aircraft carrying the 52 American hostages had cleared Iranian airspace on the first -- first leg of a journey home. And at every one of the 52 hostages was alive, was well and free.

An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity towards President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.
