If a public official has demonstrated that he is a liar, impulsive, maybe even mentally unstable, and totally incompetent in addition to his disrespect of basic human values such as respecting women, rights of minorities and an immoral list too long to list here, why should anyone keep mincing words in trying to find positive attributes in such a dangerous man for our country and the whole world? Is it just for the sake of appearing "open-minded", seeing both sides of every issue and splitting the difference? Such an official and his followers will see that as a weakness to exploit in their opponents. Obama tried hard to reach cross the aisle and see what it got him. Resist and persist is the only avenue to pursue.
