Snowden happened. Is Obama somehow responsible for a middle tier agent??? Obamacare and Iran and immigration laws were all policy. And Obama deported more illegal immigrants than any President in history, btw. You are conflating policy with scandal, I am afraid.
So he's more qualified than Rick Perry and multiple members of Trump's cabinet.Spicer has a B.A. in "Government" from Connecticut College. Impressive.

I saw that as killing 2 birds with one stone. We owed them money, and managed to get something in return. Would you have felt better if we didn't get the hostages back? How would you have handled it?
Iran. We paid them $400MM in foreign currency delivered on an unmarked plane immediately after the hostages were released. And not only this, the State department in a press conference admitted the payments would not have been made if the hostages were not released. That's called a ransom. And it was against the law to pay it. But hey, sure, it was just payment for an arm's deal we made before 1979 with Iran - a long overdue debt. Like returning a library book. Iran is more than just "policy".
Yeah, well the President didn't see it that way. He went on TV and insisted we didn't pay a ransom. So what would I do? Not pay them $400MM at all and tell them if they want the sanctions released in connection with the nuclear deal they have to forgive the debt and also have to release the hostages. The Iranians went on TV and announced that the U.S. paid them a ransom. Hard to see how the President gets to hold that line he said was so important when the other party is telling others inclined to take hostages/prisoners they were paid for the release and your own state department admits it is true.
He's right that Trump supporters have been extremely consistent in their aptitude and appetite for false equivalence.
