Obama Blocking Compensation to Beirut Bombing Families

This is just cruel. The American people have a constitutionally-mandated expectation of support from their government that is being bastardized.

The Obama administration is blocking court-ordered compensation for the families of the 241 Americans who died in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Marine barracks in Beirut.
Obama administration is going to court to try to block payments from Iranian assets that the families’ lawyers want seized, contending that it would jeopardize sensitive negotiations with Iran over its nuclear program and establish a potentially damaging precedent.
I suggest the Obama administration will experience even more sensitive negotiations with the American electorate after throwing citizens under the bus.
