It's not surprising the public has lost faith. Whether the topic is Ebola, the Islamic State, the IRS, National Security Agency spying, the Department of Veterans Affairs, or a dozen others, the White House spins, the Congress does nothing, and the public's trust in our basic institutions drains away.

As they say in the supermarkets,"Clean up on aisle seven".

He says Ebola probably won't come to the US, and then it does.

He says ISIS is Junior Varsity and then it takes over most of Syria and Iraq.

He says there isn't a smidgen of scandal with the IRS and then emails on hard drives goes missing and the backup servers are somehow inaccessible.

He says the border is secure with thousands of young adult illegal aliens pouring through (that he foists upon the cities).

He appoints an Ebola Czar that knows noting about medicine.

Why else would America lose faith in Obama?

I have not lost faith.

In 2008, I believed that Obama would destroy America and I still believe!

The question (and the tragedy) isn’t why anyone would lose faith with Obola, but why they ever would have had any faith in him to begin with.

It only took the brain trust at the Chicago Libune 6 years to figure out that Rush was right two days before the Inauguration in 2009 when he said, “I hope he fails.” The Soetoro administration is history's best example of the classic cluster f**k.

“Ideology, say the true believers and their staunchest opponents. The left says he compromised too much, desperate to pass his agenda.”

Passed by who? Last time I looked, he’s ruling as a dictator.

Obama is the finest example of “There ain’t no ‘there’, there.

the White House spins, the Congress does nothing,

Not true. The House has passed legislation on which the senate has reused to act.

This is going to be one of those "everybody is doing it" articles that in blaming everyone, provides cover for the real offenders.

The truth of the matter is that it is designed chaos meant to provide cover for the Marxists as the loot the treasury and insert laws and personnel into government which will further degrade the Republic.

Obama has never been challenged growing up, went to college on the AA program, never held a real job, never put his political career up to scrutiny, and was given a free ride by the press ever since 2002.

Even now, he his deflecting any responsibility through the use of Csar’s to increase government and make it even more ineffective.

My wife and I were discussing this and more. We eventually decided that the most apt parallel ‘thing’ that a normal human being might experience is a personal relationship with another human being. Like marriage or a very close boyfriend/girlfriend relationship that ‘probably’ will develop into marriage.

Such relationships thrive and revolve around ‘trust’. Trusting the other that they will do what they say they will, trusting that they will not ‘cheat’ on the other. Trust that the finances and jointly held property in a marriage will be treated and cared fore in an equitable manner. Those sorts of things...

In the beginning of his presidency, Obama was given leeway and ‘trust’ that he would be a good president and be a good steward to the Government and the executive branch he was elected to.

Sadly it didn’t take very long for at least half of the country to see he wasn’t going to do any such thing. Today nearly six years later we can see that it is far more than half and that he has even squandered and alienated nearly half of his ‘base’ and their trust in him.

Unfortunately we just can’t get a divorce from him and the government. At least not easily... The lasting effects though that I personally see are going to be a much more ‘cynical’ examination of the candidates for president. Hopefully that will be enough to insure that the sort of man he is not be elected to the presidency again.

Otherwise... Well now... many of us can tell tales of some very bitter and hate-filled divorces and all sorts of tricks that were pulled in them to harm the other spouse in the divorce proceedings, and that includes the children who both professed to love and protect.

A divorce from our government probably would end up much the same way...

Think about it, I do... and I see it coming down the track like a freight train that has lost its brakes. The next curve on the tracks ahead just might be the last one before it derails.

Why is losing faith in the infallability of government a bad thing? I hope everyone does and realizes that they are responsible for their own lives.
