"We have elected a young and inexperienced President in the one of the most difficult times in our history who may not have good executive skills."

Ya' think? Appears we are getting the government we deserve.

I don’t think so. It is just a sign that Democrats do not believe that the law applies to them abd that Democrats are crooks.

It is also a sign that anyone who votes for a Democrat is a fool.
