There are many reasons that people aren't happy with signing statements. Most of these reasons are because people don't like not being able to know what is going on with the president and what he is vetoing and such. I think that people like to be in control, and when the president can make comments and changes without the knowledge of the American people, everyone finds it sneaky and somewhat communistic. We want leaders we can trust and without that sense of trust nothing is going to get done. 

This also comes back to my big question. My question is 'how can you have a good team without mature people?'   You want to be able to be a collaborative effort together and if you can't work well and if the leader is going behind your back you lose that sense of trust. If you can't be honest with people when you're on a team, how is anyone going to see you as mature and trustworthy? And I believe trust is the main foundation to creating a good team. If you're working with someone else you have to be able to trust them to help you and if you can't do that you won't have a good team because nothing will get done or one person will be doing all the work. 

So in conclusion signing statements and going behind peoples backs can really make others question their loyalty and trust to you. So it's harder to have a good group when the group members don't trust you. Because lack of trust can create a lack of respect and I think all around nothing can work out. So our team can't be a team without a good teamwork and trusting foundation. After you have those things I think then you can work on the maturity of the group to create a stronger team.
