In a phone interview, Rep. Steve Stockman, R-Texas, said he can’t comprehend how the president of the free world can seemingly look away while Christians, including Abedini, are jailed in hostile countries for their religious beliefs. At the same time, the U.S. has released prisoners from Guantanamo Bay. “This shows Obama’s impotence and lack of concern,” Stockman said. “(Former President Jimmy) Carter even spoke up for imprisoned Americans in the Cold War, but this president seems reluctant to bring up the prisoner situation, whether it’s in North Korea or Iran.” “I had anticipated that I would battle the Iranian government for my husband’s freedom. I never anticipated that I would also have to battle my own government and that the journey would become even much more difficult than it had been,” she told Fox News last December after the Obama administration failed to negotiate the release of her husband in a deal with Iran.
