Oakland County oficials shocked, SHOCKED! that after medical marijuana law 55,000 residents claim to have glaucoma

Here's a question I'd like Obama's puppet Eric Holder to answer: if the Department of Justice is suing Arizona for supposedly subverting federal immigration law (they aren't), why are they not suing states for subverting federal drug laws? Michigan now has a vague medical marijuana law (approved in 2008 as part of the Obama blue wave that has since dissipated into a puff of hope and change) and lo and behold every pot head in Oakland County wants in. From The Oakland Press: 55,000 pot applications: County leaders call on state to clarify law on medical marijuana 

Oakland County’s top officials — County Executive. L. Brooks Patterson, Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Cooper and Sheriff Michael Bouchard — came together Monday at The Oakland Press to speak out about medical marijuana, urging the state Legislature to fix this law.

“I see (medical marijuana) as a direct threat on the quality of life in Oakland County,” said L. Brooks Patterson,

He referred to a convention promoting medical marijuana scheduled earlier this year at the Silverdome. That convention has been canceled.

“I don’t want Oakland County to be the center of medical marijuana.”

Cooper said her primary interest in amending the law revolved around children and medical marijuana. She said children can be issued patient cards with two doctors’ approvals.

“Children can be in the home when people (are smoking marijuana),” she said. “They are inhaling and learning from that. That is a grave concern.”

...officials said 55,000 people have received medical marijuana applications.

What did mostly Democrat voters think was going to happen? All of the sudden you have every pothead in every county claiming all sorts of ailments and wanting legal marijuana. Why the shock? Exit question: If there are 55,000 applications already in Oakland County, what's the tally in Wayne?

UPDATE: From The Detroit Free Press: Pot backers: We'll keep fighting. And toking.
