In related news, President Obama asked a federal court to throw out a class action lawsuit by those taken hostage when the US Embassy in Iran was seized in 1979. “We can’t move forward if we insist on holding grudges for events that occurred long ago,” Obama said. “I need a free hand in my dealings with the current government of Iran. The tiny number of aggrieved persons must stand aside for the greater good of the nation.”

I can't believe he said this. We are still processing claims for Holocaust survivors.

It does get harder and harder to determine fact from satire these days.

“I need a free hand in my dealings with the current government of Iran. The tiny number of aggrieved persons must stand aside for the greater good of the nation.”

Ideology before the rights of individuals. This is classic leftist thinking. Hey, Obama, how about putting restrictions on lawsuits against corporations or doctors. Those lawsuits increase costs for consumers. Why not have the tiny number of aggrieved people filing the lawsuits, and their attorneys, stand aside for the greater good of the nation?

That line reads like satire to me.
