Poll: Majority lacks trust in government (Shocker? not..)

This should come as a surprise to no one except for Obama and the MSM. Even dems are joining us in the cry for smaller government and less intrusion, one in the article below stating this:

'The government's been lying to people for years. Politicians make promises to get elected, and when they get elected, they don't follow through,' says Cindy Wanto, 57, a registered Democrat from Nemacolin, Pa., who joined several thousand for a rally in Washington on April 15 - the tax filing deadline. 'There's too much government in my business. It was a problem before Obama, but he's certainly not helping fix it.'

She's in the right place now finally, and welcome back to her and the others trickling back to reality from years and years of severe, untreated BDS, we need you here to stem the government led red tsunami.

My Way News - Poll:
Nearly 80 percent of Americans say they can't and they have little faith that the massive federal bureaucracy can solve the nation's ills, according to a survey from the Pew Research Center that shows public confidence in the federal government at one of the lowest points in a half-century.

The poll released Sunday illustrates the ominous situation facing President Barack Obama and the Democratic Party as they struggle to maintain their comfortable congressional majorities in this fall's elections. Midterm prospects are typically tough for the party in power. Add a toxic environment like this and lots of incumbent Democrats could be out of work.

The survey found that just 22 percent of those questioned say they can trust Washington almost always or most of the time and just 19 percent say they are basically content with it. Nearly half say the government negatively effects their daily lives, a sentiment that's grown over the past dozen years.

This anti-government feeling has driven the tea party movement, reflected in fierce protests this past week.

'The government's been lying to people for years. Politicians make promises to get elected, and when they get elected, they don't follow through,' says Cindy Wanto, 57, a registered Democrat from Nemacolin, Pa., who joined several thousand for a rally in Washington on April 15 - the tax filing deadline. 'There's too much government in my business. It was a problem before Obama, but he's certainly not helping fix it.'

Majorities in the survey call Washington too big and too powerful, and say it's interfering too much in state and local matters. The public is split over whether the government should be responsible for dealing with critical problems or scaled back to reduce its power, presumably in favor of personal responsibility.

About half say they want a smaller government with fewer services, compared with roughly 40 percent who want a bigger government providing more. The public was evenly divided on those questions long before Obama was elected. Still, a majority supported the Obama administration exerting greater control over the economy during the recession.

'Trust in government rarely gets this low,' said Andrew Kohut, director of the nonpartisan center that conducted the survey. 'Some of it's backlash against Obama. But there are a lot of other things going on.'

And, he added: 'Politics has poisoned the well.'

The survey found that Obama's policies were partly to blame for a rise in distrustful, anti-government views. In his first year in office, the president orchestrated a government takeover of Detroit automakers, secured a $787 billion stimulus package and pushed to overhaul the health care system.

But the poll also identified a combination of factors that contributed to the electorate's hostility: the recession that Obama inherited from President George W. Bush; a dispirited public; and anger with Congress and politicians of all political leanings.

'I want an honest government. This isn't an honest government. It hasn't been for some time,' said self-described independent David Willms, 54, of Sarasota, Fla. He faulted the White House and Congress under both parties.

The poll was based on four surveys done from March 11 to April 11 on landline and cell phones. The largest survey, of 2,500 adults, has a margin of sampling error of 2.5 percentage points; the others, of about 1,000 adults each, has a margin of sampling error of 4 percentage points.

In the short term, the deepening distrust is politically troubling for Obama and Democrats. Analysts say out-of-power Republicans could well benefit from the bitterness toward Washington come November, even though voters blame them, too, for partisan gridlock that hinders progress.

In a democracy built on the notion that citizens have a voice and a right to exercise it, the long-term consequences could prove to be simply unhealthy - or truly debilitating. Distrust could lead people to refuse to vote or get involved in their own communities. Apathy could set in, or worse - violence.

Democrats and Republicans both accept responsibility and fault the other party for the electorate's lack of confidence.

'This should be a wake-up call. Both sides are guilty,' said Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-Mo. She pointed to 'nonsense' that goes on during campaigns that leads to 'promises made but not promises kept.' Still, she added: 'Distrust of government is an all-American activity. It's something we do as Americans and there's nothing wrong with it.'

Sen. Scott Brown, a Republican who won a long-held Democratic Senate seat in Massachusetts in January by seizing on public antagonism toward Washington, said: 'It's clear Washington is broken. There's too much partisan bickering to be able to solve the problems people want us to solve.'

And, he added: 'It's going to be reflected in the elections this fall.'

But Matthew Dowd, a top strategist on Bush's re-election campaign who now shuns the GOP label, says both Republicans and Democrats are missing the mark.

'What the country wants is a community solution to the problems but not necessarily a federal government solution,' Dowd said. Democrats are emphasizing the federal government, while Republicans are saying it's about the individual; neither is emphasizing the right combination to satisfy Americans, he said.

OBAMA THE DESTROYER by Michael Savage

This is from Michael Savage's website this morning/last night, can't find a thing I disagree with I must say (except for the all caps, but then again maybe he wants it that way since no one on the left can hear us out here)

"OBAMA IS LIKE A DESTRUCTIVE CHILD WHO TAKES APART A WATCH AND THEN CAN’T PUT IT BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. HE HAS TAKEN APART THE CAR INDUSTRY, PLACING IT UNDER FEDERAL CONTROL. HE IS DISMANTLING THE BEST HEALTHCARE SYSTEM IN THE WORLD, REPLACING IT WITH SOCIALIZED MEDICINE. AND TODAY, HE STARTED DESTROYING OUR MILITARY BY SIGNING AN INSANE NUCLEAR TREATY WITH RUSSIA."

THIS TREATY, THE WORK OF THE MENTALLY DISORDERED LEFT, WILL MEAN A 30% REDUCTION IN OUR NUCLEAR ARSENAL AND A STEEP REDUCTION IN OUR SUBMARINES AND STRATEGIC BOMBERS. THAT’S ON TOP OF THE FACT THAT OBAMA HAS ALREADY SLASHED THE DEFENSE BUDGET AND STOPPED A COMPREHENSIVE MISSILE DEFENSE SYSTEM.

NOW, IN THE NAME OF DIPLOMACY, OBAMA WANTS TO DESTROY OUR NUKES JUST WHEN IRAN AND NORTH KOREA ARE BUILDING THEIRS. OBAMA CLAIMS THIS TREATY WILL COAX IRAN INTO DISCONTINUING ITS NUKE PROGRAM. THAT’S CRAZY. THE HITLER OF IRAN WANTS THESE WEAPONS TO INTIMIDATE THE UNITED STATES AND DESTROY ISRAEL. THIS MEANINGLESS PIECE OF PAPER WILL NOT STOP HIM.

AND WHAT ABOUT RUSSIA? ANYONE WHO THINKS THEY’LL KEEP THEIR WORD IS CRAZY. RUSSIA HAS A HISTORY OF RENEGGING ON NUKE AGREEMENTS. IT’S IMPOSSIBLE TO VERIFY HOW MANY THEY’VE DESTROYED, AND THEY’VE ALREADY SAID THAT THEY CAN PULL OUT OF THE AGREEMENT AT ANY TIME. FURTHERMORE, BOTH RUSSIA AND CHINA ARE IN THE PROCESS OF MODERNIZING THEIR NUKES. MOST OF RUSSIA’S NUCLEAR ARSENAL IS AGING AND OUTDATED. IF WE CONTINUED AS WE ARE, RUSSIA WOULD FADE AS A NUCLEAR POWER. THIS AGREEMENT HELPS THEM! HOW MUCH OF OUR OWN ARSENAL IS OUTDATED? OBAMA ISN’T SAYING.

OBAMA DID SAY TODAY THAT THE SPREAD OF NUCLEAR WEAPONS TO MORE STATES IS AN UNACCEPTABLE RISK TO GLOBAL SECURITY. AND YET THIS INSANE TREATY INCREASES THAT RISK. OBAMA ALSO SAID TODAY THAT WHILE THE TREATY WAS A GOOD FIRST STEP FORWARD, IT’S THE FIRST IN A LONG WAY FORWARD. “IT WILL SET THE STAGE FOR FURTHER CUTS.” FURTHER CUTS. OBAMA DOESN’T JUST WANT TO REDUCE OUR ARSENAL. 

HE WANTS TO ELIMINATE IT COMPLETELY. HE IS OUR DESTROYER-IN-CHIEF. AND THE ONE REMAINING CHANCE TO END HIS AGENDA OF APPEASEMENT IS THE U.S. SENATE, WHICH MUST RATIFY THE TREATY BY A TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY. HE COULD BE STOPPED THERE, BUT WHERE IS THE REPUBLICAN OPPOSITION? EACH DAY, MORE AND MORE, IT’S AS IF A HOSTILE FOREIGN POWER HAS TAKEN OVER THE COUNTRY.  Michael Savage.com

"ANGELINA JOLIE “HATES BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA”" ...Bare Naked Islam

While she hasn't yet flipped into the conservative camp along with her beloved pops Jon Voigt, she like me and many of you can't stand Obama because to her (who I really don't like) he's all about nothing but handouts when we're all for hand's up, not handouts....

Even this Hollywood liberal says she thinks, “Obama is a socialist in disguise… all smoke and mirrors.”

Looks like the liberal loon love affair with the imaginary "made for TV Obama Leadership Myth" is dying fast when die hards like Jolie and Pitt give the Messiah "the boot" or like they do in the Middle East, give him the "stinkin' sand foot" .....(since there's a recession on they, can't throw their shoes like they did to president Bush, who made such a protest possible of course..)

Bare Naked Islam's Weblog: "Angelina Jolie isn’t happy with the state of politics today … and that includes President Barack Obama." continued

Obama says race not OVERRIDING issue in criticism

Oh, but that omission or one could say addition of the word "Overriding" there speaks volumes, and can only mean that the Great Obama is already making sure the road gets paved in that any failures of his as a president will be laid squarely at the feet of all his detractors who we all know he and his supporters do on a most regular basis calling all resistance like myself "racists".

Now ask me if I give a flying fluck........

Which is, as a matter of fact, why I will make note of all these "cry racism" instances, placing them in their own category, and then count and evaluate them all at the end of this tragic nightmare of a presidency, and the truth will then speak for itself loud and clear if you can't hear it yet.

I mean, how can a president who's media pool follows him around like puppy dogs so they can send shots like this one and the one above to their equally "Obamafied" (as in pussified) editors for extra byline credit day after day) whine and cry that he's getting a raw deal?.....

Can you believe that one? This was part of a Yahoo news blurb about the health care debate just this morning!

Can you say "hold that pose" Barack? I knew you could.....lol

We've been putting up with this bias ever since this guy somehow came on the national scene after spending 8 years in and out of Chicago crack houses while community organizing...In fact. remember this one..?

It's so bad and planned out it looks like a photoshop it was so ridiculous.....I'll bet Obama has this one in his wallet!

| U.S. | Reuters: "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama said on Friday some of the opposition he faced was because of his race but denied former President Jimmy Carter's charge that racism was a leading factor in angry criticism of his healthcare agenda.

'Are there people out there who don't like me because of race? I'm sure there are. That's not the overriding issue here,' Obama told CNN as he weighed in on a controversy that has simmered since the former president injected charges of racism into the U.S. healthcare debate this week.

'I think there are people who are anti-government,' Obama, the United States' first black president, said in one of a series of television interviews on Friday.

'I think there's been a long-standing debate in this country that is usually that much more fierce during times of transition or when presidents are trying to bring about big changes,' he said."

more here if you can stand it.....
