Star Ledger compares Obama to Nixon.

Obama's growing credibility gap: Editorial

http://blog.nj.com/njv_editorial_page/2013/11/obamas_growing_credibility_gap.html

It’s more than not just an old wives’ tale that a politician is only as good as his word. It’s mostly true. He can lose an election — even more than one, as Richard Nixon proved — and still win the voters favor.

But he’s in real trouble if the paying public stops believing what he says, as Nixon also discovered. That’s why President Obama’s real problem is not so much the botched rollout of the Affordable Care Act, but the growing sense he doesn’t tell the whole truth, or doesn’t know it.

Either can be fatal for a leader.

I’ve always thought comparing Obama to Chavez a more legitimate comparison. Nixon thought he was above the law Obama thinks he is the law.

Certainly less and less people are falling for his lies.

How can we trust obama's administration any more? Every time obama has had a chance to prove his mettle he has failed. He is in over his head and it is showing world wide. We still have three more years of this. How much more can the United States take before obama damages America beyond repair?

I truly don't know. I just hope we can survive three more years.
