Matthew Davies can't sue the Obama administration for leading him on into believing he could safely open his business under Obama. This is not like any other "promise" they make on the campaign trail. This man's life is now in jeopardy because Obama told him he would be safe. I know it sounds ridiculous to sue Obama over this, be HE did say he would leave it to the states. If he can't hold up his end of the bargain, then just close the shops down with NO arrests.

This man put everything he had into his business, only to be fooled. He deserves some compensation for that. He doesn't deserve jail time.
