White House Encourages Distrust of Government




In 1971 Harvard University Law School Professor Archibald Cox pleaded with demonstrators to help restore faith in the government. Now Harvard University Law School graduate and President of the Harvard Law Review is destroying any remaining faith in the government. Sad what that law school has become.

[From article]
Some of these immigrants, including one woman who sneaked in from Mexico 18 years ago, even complained that presidential ­amnesty doesn’t include free health care.
“It isn’t fair,” Graciela Flores whined.
What luck — she and the other 5 million who benefit have found their soul mate in Barack Obama. He’s not into obeying laws, either. And he is endlessly entitled to whatever he wants, whenever he wants it.
Oh, sure, he has twice taken an oath to “faithfully execute” the ­nation’s laws, and to “preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States.”
But he’s not serious about oaths, either. As America has learned, his word is not his bond.
[. . .]
But on virtually every major topic, from the economy to foreign policy, the president’s view is shared by only a sliver of the country. It would be leadership had his policies been proven right. But they are proven wrong every day.
So the nation grows gloomier as more people lose faith in their government and their own ­futures.
That seems to be fine with Obama. Democracy is a virtue only when his side wins.
[. . .]
former top aide Neera Tanden said this about him in a magazine interview:
“The truth is, Obama doesn’t call anyone, and he’s not close to almost anyone. It’s stunning that he’s in politics, because he really doesn’t like people. My analogy is that it’s like becoming Bill Gates without liking computers.”
He is a misfit, sailing against the national mood. His one significant victory, ObamaCare, became law only through one-party rule, and even then depended on massive deception and outright lies, as the infamous Gruber tapes prove.
