Why be so negative?  Here the administration is doing something that can only
be said to be a *good* thing, and some people *still* have to find something
to criticize.  This kind of thing reminds me of a columnist in a local
newspaper who cannot seem to find it in her miserable little conservative
heart to acknowledge anything positive about the present administration.

And what led to this non sequitur?  (I happen to agree with you about this,
but I don't understand what this has to do with the rest of the message.)
