Well, funny you should bring that up. I saw something that I thought was an April Fool's thing. Today there was an article in the paper that said that the President was asking for protection under the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act from being sued civilly. I thought that was one of those things that they were bringing out a kind of an April Fool's thing, kind of a satire. But I understand it is true, that he is actually saying that he as Commander-in-Chief qualifies for the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act, since he is in the military, because he is the head of the Armed Services, and therefore this lawsuit in Arkansas cannot touch him. I was amazed.
