39. Not all political issues are of equal weight. Some trump others.

That being said, I'm not taking a position right now on Obama and transparency, just pointing out that your frame of balancing the good and the bad doesn't apply when and if a core value or principle is violated. (Invading a country, fidelity for those who've promised it, torture, etc).

One can't say, well I gave to charity, I mowed my neighbor's grass, loved my kids, but beat my wife, I guess I'm 3 out of 4, pretty darn good.

No...
