Which One Is a Scam?

Here are a couple of e-mails I received yesterday. See if you can guess which one is the scam. 
There may be more than one correct answer.

America's resurgence is real. With a growing economy, shrinking deficits, bustling industry, and booming energy production, we have risen from recession freer to write our own future than any other nation on Earth. Now we have to choose what we want that future to look like. Will we accept an economy where only a few of us do spectacularly well? Or will we commit ourselves to an economy that generates rising incomes and rising chances for everyone who makes the effort?

- Boehner to Sue Obama Again-National Journal
"Speaker John Boehner is finalizing a plan to sue President Obama again, this time over the administration's decision to grant work visas to millions of undocumented immigrants...Late last year, a federal judge threw out another, similar case, filed by Arizona's Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio and an immigration activist."

So, what do you think? I guess I could send $360 to Mrs. Barack Obama to see if it's really legit.
 If I get the 28.9 million, then I know the second one is BS. (But I know that already.)
