WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—President Obama used his weekly radio address on Saturday to reassure the American people that he has “played no role whatsoever” in the U.S. government over the past four years.
“Right now, many of you are angry at the government, and no one is angrier than I am,” he said. “Quite frankly, I am glad that I have had no involvement in such an organization.”

The best humor often has a grain of truth. So perhaps THAT's why the phone taps on the press ? Not to 'out sources', but to scoop the news and look good to the Prez ? :biggrin:

Alright, I missed this one. I understand Borowitz is a satirist but are these quotes really from Obama?

No, this is comedy writing. Read his other columns, you'll get it.
