Obama: If People 'Can't Trust' Government, 'We're Going to Have Some Problems Here'
by Ben Shapiro 7 Jun 2013, 11:11 AM PDT 32 post a comment During his speech in San Jose, California on Friday, President Obama took one question from the press on national security monitoring of Americans. Without any sense of irony whatsoever in the aftermath of the IRS’ targeting of conservatives, the administration’s stonewalling on Benghazi, the Department of Justice’s targeting of reporters, the Department of Health and Human Services’ leveraging of private organizations for Obamacare public relations cash, and the Environmental Protection Agency’s secret email addresses, Obama unloaded this line:
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.
Of course, that trust has been eroded by the least transparent administration in American history. But Obama added, “You can shout Big Brother or program run amok, but if you actually look at the details......

We can’t and we do.
Hey Dumb@ss—yeah, you with the big ears. You’ve got problems here.
Gee that sounds kinda like a threat.
Trust the government or else.
“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. “
Some?
Here are 185 examples of Barack Obama’s lying, lawbreaking, corruption, cronyism, etc.

Gee that sounds kinda like a threat.
And defiant and arrogant.
Good thing he reads the newspaper or else he would know absolutely nothing.
“You can shout Big Brother or program run amok, but if you actually look at the details......”
IT’S ACTUALLY MUCH WORSE THAN THAT.
“abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law”.. WTF? Did 0bama say this with a straight face? What a joke. Are his illegal recess appointments at the NLRB still at their posts?
He has a Czar Government
Then we have some problems here, ZerO. I don't trust you as far as the east is from the east.
Houston! We have a problem!
Oh, wait......
west?
If a husband calls his wife and says, “Honey, I’ll be late coming home because I have to work late”, a wife will probably give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s actually working.
If, however, the husband has used the ‘working late’ excuse several times in the past and each time he came home with lipstick on his collar, booze on his breath, and stinky fingers — the wife probably won’t give him the benefit of the doubt that he’s actually working late, nor should she.
Perhaps, Mr. Obama, naive people would trust government, but since your government just got caught with their pants down on the Benghazi, IRS, and DOJ/AP scandals — you’ve lost all benefit of the doubt.
Define “we”.
I’m already getting clients asking if they are being targeted by IRS for what appears to be normal correspondence.
“Obama If People ‘Can’t Trust’ Government, ‘We’re Going to Have Some Problems Here’”
