Barack Obama and the Double Edged Sword

Sounds like a flick that may be out in theaters this summer right?
Wrong.
It's really the continuing criticism that President Obama has been receiving about his nominations; and how his administration is suffering through their goal of attempting to establish a "transparent" government.

Now you know me, I'm all about transparency.
If my government is cookin' something, I wanna know what it is, and if I'll be able to sample it. (For example, our previous "stimulus" bill tasted horrible... but then again it was shoved down my throat without permission, and yours.)
However recently, the media has been super nosy.
I mean so nosy that our poor President cannot even begin to simmer any ingredients together without someone shouting "Too much salt!" or "Remove the carrots!"

I mean holy crabs. (See picture to the right for an image)
The guys only been on the job for 2 hours, and yet it is as if the man has done more Pwrong doings than Bush has done in his entire presidency! (For a quick but fair synopsis of Bush's mistakes, please refer to 2005's "V for Vendetta".

Now I'm not saying President Obama's recent nominations are not worthy of criticism.
Yes, he's had about 200 nominations go sour.
However, give the President some credit!
The fact that he has owned up to every mistake is in every right a step towards developing government accountability.
And now that we have an open and honest* President, the man has become completely vulnerable.
I mean, where did this enthusiasm come from all of a sudden?
Do we really reward honesty negatively?

Heres the deal:
Mistakes are made, they are always going to be made.
There is no Trail without Error.
It is impossible to take a step in the right direction without encountering obstacles.
(Just take Dorothy and the Yellow Brick Road for example.)
Having that said, it is better to start finding solutions to these obstacles rather than interrogating them and wasting valuable time and money.
A solution does not mean giving birth to controversy and chaos.
It means moving solving and executing a previous "failure".

If you enjoy dwelling upon "failure", then with all due respect be my guest.
But for the rest of us who would like to see our country a little more productive, lets carry on with business and move ahead.
