DOES NO ONE RESPECT THAT THE PUBLIC CANNOT KNOW EVERYTHING (FOR SECURITY) THAT THE GOVERNMENT OR PRESIDENT DOES?

When we were children we were not allowed to ask our parents' about their sex life or expect to be told how often they were intimate.  Good parents shared much with their children but were careful not to burden their children with information they could not comprehend and would only leave them with anxiety.  They tried to give them enough information as they grew to prepare then for adulthood but not make them responsible for family decisions before they had enough maturity to grasp the full scope of problems they were trying to handle and the consequences of any actions they might take.

Today, it seems people criticize the President for not answering everything they wish to see through the keyhole of government.  They seem not to understand that to publicly state all their actions leaves their enemies fully aware of all plans and strategy.  Is this not rather naive?  Of course we should have an overall view of what is being done, where the country is at fiscally, what the major political goals are at a given time. We have a right to be concerned about our security, security and survival.  We do not need to open ourselves up to open information for all strategies in our own country and around the world.  We were not elected to that job, the President was.

Our media has to learn the role of journalists.  Too many seem to have forgotten, if they ever knew.  It is to report news and information, truthfully, not  pontificate on what they feel the government should be doing since they are not running or criticize what they are not equipped to understand.  We, as citizens, should not be calling the President a liar unless we have absolute proof that we are fully and  properly;y informed of the facts before making such a public statement.  There are too many false accusations, negative propaganda, conspiracy theories, and attempts to besmirch the credibility of the President. The man is not perfect but he is one of the best Presidents I have seen in my many decades of life.  It was refreshing to watch and listen at the last press conference when a woman journalist criticized him, demanding that he should do or have done something which was impossible.  She did what so many are doing today.  She backed off when he asked how she would get what she wanted achieved.  She couldn't answer that, of course, and he did a rather polite and kind response as to why she was being ridiculous (though perhaps I was the only one who would label her as such).
