38. Obama has been very effective because he also listens to people

and never discourages people from expressing their opinions. Still, none of this explains why people aren't free to criticize any of his nominees or why doing so equates to not trusting Obama. I trust Obama to do the right thing. That doesn't mean I will agree with everything does, and it certainly doesn't mean I don't trust him. There are legal scholars who would argue that the Bush administration should be prosecuted. Obama may not agree with that. If he doesn't, then obviously I don't agree with him, but that doesn't mean I don't trust him.

Trust isn't measured by how often people agree with each other.
