Obama’s “Trust” Problem in a Nutshell 0
There is much gnashing of teeth in Left Blogistan and Left Journalististan because President Obama has been unable to wave a magic wand and get our elected officials incongruously assembled to do his (and their) bidding. Persons are starting to fulminate about a “trust” problem.
Anyone who paid attention during the campaign would know that Mr. Obama is not a doctrinaire (in Republican terms, “wild-eyed”) liberal. He did not campaign as one and has neither portrayed himself as one nor voted as one.
But he does have a “trust” problem.
He trusted that the Republicans would deal in good faith and with truth.
They don’t.
They deal in lies and delusion, with the short-term interests of the very very rich at heart, for they believe that wealth is ipso facto virtue and that that which serves the wealthy is therefore virtuous.
Aside: I’m giving them a break here. I’m assuming they actually believe that licking the boots of the wealthy is a good thing, rather than that they are simply in it for the money.
