White House spokesman Josh Earnest insisted Friday that the government is doing a better job now protecting Americans than when President Obama took office in 2009, even though a new poll says people's trust in the government to keep them safe is at a new low.

Earnest was responding to questions about a Thursday Gallup poll that said only 55 percent of those asked were confident that the government is protecting them. That poll came out after a terrorist attack in California that left 14 dead, and heightened fears that more attacks could be coming on U.S. soil.

But Earnest dismissed that poll result, and said there are a "variety" of reasons why people should feel safer.

"Under President Obama, there has been a historic commitment in tightening our border security, both in terms of personnel and technology that has been deployed to secure our borders," Earnest continued.

I’m sure that this useful idiot probably doesn’t even believe what he is saying. What a moron.

Did anyone in the crowd laugh out loud at this absurd remark?

and did I mention I own the Brooklyn Bridge and have decided to sell it!

The White House is a ass.

if that’s as far as the needle goes on this, it’s broken.

I wouldn’t even feel safe under him if his body was covering me from ISIS gunshots as he is too thin.

Now TAFT, there’s a president you could feel safe under :)

Stupid’s and liars reign in the White House.

This proves your point.

Gun sales, particularly immediately after San Bernadino, show that statement to be a lie ... as is everything that comes out of the mouths of Earnest & Omuslim.

How ironic, because Americans insist the White House is more dangerous under Obama.

After the announcement the White House Press Corps all practiced “duck-and-cover.”

More border security is when more people work for ice, whose job is to provide ice water for more illegals.

All three major terrorist attacks in CONUS could have been avoided.

Fort Hood could have been avoided if the gatekeepers had done the right thing and fired/decommissioned that SOB.

Boston marathon bombing could have been avoided if we'd followed up on two warnings from Putin.

Now it is coming out via whistleblower that as early as 2012, there were indications of Farook's being a threat sufficient to get him on a no-fly list.

Not only can we not trust them for common sense prudence; it is beginning to appear whether true or not, that they are supporting known terrorist risks here and abroad with total disregard for the well being of the American people..

And at the same time we're told -- by the same people -- that "Wild West" gun laws make the streets run red with blood.

When liberals get up in the morning, it takes them twice as long to put on their makeup, since they have two faces to decorate.

News reports say Obama told the FBI to downplay the terrorism facts. Obama then convened his
know-nothing National Security Council and other govt agencies to discuss a public relations strategy.....

Just what a grieving frightened nation needed....another presidential PR strategy.

In the WH Situation Room after San Bernardino figuring out how to lie to Americans.

Notice top dog advisor the "brilliant" Susan Rice taking notes.

Maybe she's planning to make a video?

South Americans and Central Americans are safer in our country than before the terrorist thug took power in 2009. American citizens, however, are in much more danger and have far less freedom than ever before in history.
