In an early showing of dirty, rotten things to come during the next handful of years, Sen.-elect Marco Rubio and Gov.-elect Rick Scott were quick to criticize President Barack Obama for extending the ban on oil drilling in federal waters off Florida’s coast.
This year started off in memorable fashion with the president’s State of the Union address, in which he notably criticized the Supreme Court and got a round of applause for disrespecting the judicial branch. The government fighting like children was a running theme of the year.
