There has not been one thing done by this administration which has not managed to piss off both or all parties involved in a matter.

Chief Craig in Detroit shamed the white mayor into speaking on the Steve Utash beating and publicly noted the absence of comments from Obama.

Attorney General of the United States told the Attorney Generals of all the individual states that they only need to uphold the laws that they feel like upholding.
Gotta say that Holder is consistent.
