A lot of politicians and talking heads are saying Obama has lost the faith and confidence of the American people. I don't agree with that. I think Americans are sticking with their President and are not buying the current wave of scandals Republicans are trying to exploit to bring him down. What do you think? Do you trust President Obama?

Wow, that's some delusional reality you've constructed.

What I've found is this: belief in Obama is almost perfectly correlated with the amount of loot being extracted from the federal treasury. If you get a lot of welfare, O is your Messiah. If you're the one paying the bill, fuggetaboutit.

I never trusted him. Never trust a slick talker that promises everything to everyone if they just elect him to office.
Then you look at his history and see he sat on the fence and never actually promised anything nor produced anything.

He was groomed for this job early on with big money and power behind him calling the shots.
And I still think that is true to this day.

This is eerily reminiscent of the late 1990s during Clinton's second term. Then, much like now, we had a very popular President, beloved by the American people, a booming economy, and a Republican Party without a positive agenda. Republicans then began digging to find any minuscule thing they could find and then blow it up to epic proportions to try to bring down the President. It ultimately resulted in the Lewinsky scandal. I don't think Americans will be so naive as to let the GOP do the same thing again.

Nope, never have and never will.

Here's a guy so full of himself his arrogance, and the arrogance of his followers, is truly blinding.

He will leave office before the end of his term. In fact I doubt he will be president one year from now.

Remember Nixon? Nixon enjoyed a stunning victory over McGovern in a landslide.

Party Electoral Votes Popular Votes
Richard M. Nixon (I) Republican 520 46,740,323
George McGovern Democratic 17 28,901,598

Yeah, and the Obamaites try to convince us he won against Romney in a landslide.

So what was Nixon's crime, what was it that forced him from office?

I will spell it for you. A-R-R-O-G-A-N-C-E

arrogance: an attitude of superiority manifested in an overbearing manner or in presumptuous claims or assumptions

This monster who currently occupies the white house will be ousted and his true crime will have been the arrogance of his camp followers and himself.

Through his IRS he as declared war on the American people and this will not sit well.

I never trusted him because I read his books, looked back at his career, looked at his votes and "present" in the ill. Legislature and did not see anything but a good politician with far left, black theology, progressive, social justice ideology.

He lost me when he threw Social Security under the boat with that "chained CPI' he was trying to get a deal with the Republicans on. No I don't trust him. He acted like a liberal and turned out to be anything but.

No, I do not trust him.
Never did, never will.
He has done nothing to earn trust, IMO.
