NOVEMBER 24, 2013
POSTED BY ANDY BOROWITZ
TEHRAN (The Borowitz Report)The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, told reporters today his nation agreed to a deal on its nuclear program in the hopes that it would distract attention from the trouble-plagued rollout of Obamacare.
Its true, weve resisted any deal on nukes for over three decades, the Ayatollah said. But when we saw how much trouble Obama was having with his Web site, we realized it would be uncaring of us not to try to help him out.
The Ayatollah said he was not overly optimistic that signing a nuclear treaty with the West would be sufficient to distract attention from the Presidents Obamacare woes, but, he added, You never know. Every little bit helps.
He said that he and Irans leaders will be putting their heads together in the days and weeks ahead to see if theres anything else we can do to help Obama out of this health-care mess. One idea were tossing around is to get the Iranian people to stop chanting, Death to America, the way they have for the past thirty-four years, he said. At the very least, maybe dial it back until he gets that Web site straightened out.

(24,324 posts)I haven't thought about Obamacare since before my nap.
Not even when taking a couple antibiotics for my cold or having some Thai soup. Next, is some ginger tea with a shot of Ezra B Bourbon.
I am CERTAIN not to think about Obamacare after that.

AS SEEN ON THE O'REILLY FACTOR
Over the weekend, the United States and its allies reached a deal with Iran to keep them from creating a nuclear weapon. Tonight in his Talking Points Memo, Bill OReilly identified two key components of the Iran nuclear deal.
