119. sure
No complaints about Nance nor Obama.

I don't ever expect any politician to be perfect, but nor do I expect everyone to sit on their hands and refrain from giving any critical feedback. As Truman said, those who can't stand the heat should get out of the kitchen.

Our criticisms are not interfering with nor impeding the administration. The only thing at risk is people's happy feelings. That does not justify calling for other people to stop expressing their opinions.

Cheer leading for a sports team is a particularly useless and inappropriate model, I think, but I do think that is how many approach politics. That is more damaging to the new administration than criticism, in my opinion.

How come the big players, the money people and the insiders are not giving the administration a chance? They are moving right in for the kill.
