Good news for the president: Americans think he's merely inept, not a liar

By quinersdiner | November 20, 2013

When a president loses the trust of the American people, he’s done.
President Obama was able to get Obamacare passed because it was early in his first term. The American people were still caught up in the emotion of “hope and change.”
