The Problem with Shades of Gray

Liberals like President Obama criticized President Bush for only seeing things as black and white. The problem with always being is some shade of gray is that anything can be reasonable. This is what got Tres. Sec. Geithner in trouble recently. When you are "open" to anything, you send a message that anything is possible, no matter how dangerous it may be. (Politico):

Geithner, at the Council on Foreign Relations, said the U.S. is "open" to a headline-grabbing proposal by the governor of the China's central bank, which was widely reported as being a call for a new global currency to replace the dollar, but which Geithner described as more modest and "evolutionary."
