No it is NOT a small issue.
But there are those that don't trust anything the President does.
He didn't appoint Gonzales off the top of his head.
And he knows more than we do. I trust the President to make the right decisions. That's why I voted and campaigned for him.
I also voted for Bush, but I don't suspend my right, as a free citizen and an adult, to criticize him when he's wrong - - - and I don't view him (or anyone else walking the planet) as incapable of error.
