“If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.”

Obama added that the National Security agents behind the surveillance programs “cherish our Constitution.”

What he’s saying here is if you’re on the record ANYWHERE (phone, Internet, text message, Skype chat), you’ll be subject to IRS audit, firearm confiscation, and eventual late-night raids on your home killing your dogs, your kids, your wife/husband, and probably you... by a drone...

That almost sounds like a threat, doesn’t it?

“Trust us or else...we’re gonna have some problems.”

“Dear People of America,

Due to past terrorist activity in Boston, your government is taking certain precautions to protect you. We will make a record of every letter you send, when you sent it, to whom you sent it, and where you sent it. (Do not be alarmed we will not actually read the letter.) We will also keep records of every petition you sign, every meeting you attend, every purchase you make, every pamphlet you either produce or receive.

We know that not everyone has been involved in these acts of terrorism nor is likely to do so in the future, but your government has the right to do this under the LOYALIST Act.

Your Sovereign,
King George III”

Trust has to be earned, President Zero. You can’t force us to trust you, even from the barrel of a gun!

Obama: ‘If you can’t trust government, we’re going to have some problems...’

Why the he&^ does this clown have to express himself like a cartoon character or a character in one of those BS, made for TV sit coms?

He has about as much gravitas and command of English as a 14 year old!

Only when they're out of toilet paper.

Government is comprised of people. It is those people who Americans either trust or don’t trust. Trust and respect have to be earned. First principle of leadership. Just saying.

RE :”Obama: If you can’t trust government, we’re going to have some problems”

HA-HA, looks like you are having many BIG problems this year bammmy....and its fun to watch.

Maybe if you did YOUR job the past few years you wouldn't be in this mess you are in, where YOU are the government and the government is seen as broken.

Too much time campaigning and vacationing.

“So, in closing, let me be clear.
You WILL trust the Executive. You Will trust the congress.
You Will trust the judiciary.
We Will tell you if we are abiding by the Constitution
or not... Thank you.”

Of course Obama cherishes the Constitution - every day. Isn’t it obvious?
