Not surprising seeing the number of tea party members that got elected!
Of course there are lots of lawsuits and there will continue to be. Given the fact, we still have so many angry, disrespectful thugs out there who refuse to accept that for once in the history of this country, minorities are being a FAIR chance. The reelection of our first half black person this year, will tell a lot of Americans if this country was ever really serious about giving the president this job in the first place. There is no way ANY president could clean up the mess left to him in four years with a Congress TOTALLY committed to destroying him. I await November 6, to see if the country was serious or just pretending.
