Americans have too much faith in their government, which is why Obama has been elected twice. The government can&#8217;t fix the economy, it can only get out of the way. The government can&#8217;t get you a job, it can only get out of the way. It can&#8217;t pay your rent, it can&#8217;t pay your car off, it can&#8217;t buy your groceries, protect your family, shovel your driveway. Despite the fact that Obama claimed to care about veterans, he still didn&#8217;t bother to come and shovel the snow out of my TV dish this past winter.<\/p>\n<p>On several occasions I&#8217;ve been asked why veterans are generally so conservative, I&#8217;ve always answered that veterans have seen the government at it&#8217;s best and at it&#8217;s worst and there&#8217;s not much difference between the two. When we needed our government most, we usually end up depending on the guy on our left and our right instead because those things the government was supposed to do for us didn&#8217;t arrive in a timely manner, if it arrived at all. <\/p>\n<p>Look at the backlog of VA claims that the government keeps promising to clear &#8220;soon&#8221;, but &#8220;soon&#8221; never comes. Remember when the new GI Bill kicked in and folks were getting kicked out of school for not paying their tuition because the government couldn&#8217;t do what they were supposed to do. So, yeah, take the proper lesson away from these scandals, and considering how much we&#8217;ve been lied to in the last several years, stop believing what comes out of Jay carney&#8217;s mouth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports that, in his daily press briefing today, Jay Carney tried to beseech &hellip; <a title=\"White House wants you to have faith in the government despite scandals\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=35639\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">White House wants you to have faith in the government despite scandals<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-35639","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=35639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35639\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=35639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=35639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=35639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
