“If I’ve learned anything yet about transparency is that it’s harder to practice transparency than it is to talk about transparency. It’s definitely not something for the faint of heart.”

Yes, “showing your work” is difficult in a “just words” presidency.

And only the Obama Administration would be allowed to get away with saying that.

A Bush, or even a Clinton Administration would be raked over the coals and roundly mocked.

    We are not doomed. Our nation and our church have survived worse scoundrels than President Barak Obama. I am confident that both Mother Church and our nation will survive in spite of the best efforts of its members and its leaders.
