What is causing the anti-government sentiment?

He isn't being persecuted for paying attention to domestic affairs, he's being persecuted for trying to pay attention to our personal affairs. Big difference.

No, he's not the only one who paid attention to home. Some people just don't like how he does things. That's not persecution. Lastly, the president is not the government. He's just a part of it. Disliking the president doesn't make you anti-government.

Ok, what has Obama done domestically? He sold controlling interest in Crysler to FIAT. He seized GM which is now controlled by the government. He said he was going to create "shovel ready" jobs, but so far the shovels are ready, but no jobs are there. He seized most of the fanancial industry, after spending years lobbying for the very laws and policies that destroyed it. He funnelled billions to criminal organizations like ACORN, but has yet to allow the "stimulus package" to trickle don't to anyone else. So, please tell me what he's done for domestic issues. btw, the anti government sentiment started with the 60s, when the very people IN the government today were the ones protesing the exact abuses they are now guilty of.

Obama has taken office knowing that he has family members here in the US that are illegal immigrants and that they are breaking the law. How can this man take office and swear an oath to protect and uphold the laws of the US knowing his family is breaking it? I have been anti government for many years as I have watched money go out of the US citizens pockets to go toward other counties. This money never seems to come back. We vote down bills that send our money over seas but it still seems to pass. I can not understand this unless the government officials are making back door aggreements. I did not vote for Obama because he lies just as well as all the others. He went into office knowing that he would have major problems. The only reason he is the President is because people figured a black man could be differant than another white man. Obama is a bi-racial not all black. I personally do not care what color this man is. I feel that he should not have been put into an office when his family is out and out breaking the law. I guess now he will pardon them or just hand them a green card to stay in the US. I feel this is one reason he is not doing anything about the illegal immigrants that are draining our resources. I also figure this is why he is trying to control everyone in the US so that they will not know that he is showing favoritism to his family. This man knowing how bad the economy is has taken his family all over the world and this is costing the legal citizens of this country. Domestic affairs are your individual rights to govern yourself. You should be able to choose what kind of insurance you want and not be penalized if you choose not to use what Obama tells you too. He needs to worry about Korea actually creating a way to send a nuclear bomb here to the US instead of what I am doing in my own home.

Well that's a nice statement of your beliefs. So what's there to discuss? lol I don't trust Obama because he won't show his long form birth certificate and has had most of his information sealed. I don't trust someone who is so secretive. I don't trust him because of the radical company he has kept for all of his life. And he has brought some radical people into his administration. I don't like the idea of czars who answer only to him. I don't like the idea of changing how the census will be reported to in 2010. I don't trust him because he lies and says whatever will get him what he wants. He said no lobbyists and then made exceptions for his cabinet. I don't like his socialist policies. I don't think he should be president because I don't think he's qualified. He came out of nowhere and really has no experience with running anything. AND I DO NOT THINK HE IS BEING PERSECUTED!

The reason most people distrust the government is simple. Their salaries come from tax dollars and they are in office to 'serve' the people. Of the people (possibly), by the people (maybe, but questionable), for the people - lacking.

For years you only heard one side of the news on what government was doing. You now have the Internet and people are sharing their information and ideas and complaining to the "government". what they get is we are going to do it our way. People wanted to know what was in Trust Us we know what is best for you. The people are not buying it. Congress tells companies no Bonus then turns around and hands out bonus to their people with our money. President Obama tells the CEO's don't fly in your jets then sends AirForce One on a Photo Op NCY. The President and Congress tell business no conventions in Las Vegas (Now over 12% Unemployment) and the Congress has a retreat in a first class resort at tax payer expense. They tell us that we will be covered by a health plan but they will get a special health plann better than ours. The give us Social Security but they havea better plan funded by the taxpayer. Any you ask why the anti-government sentiment? People are fed up with the Career Politicians who break the laws and violate their own ethics code and when caught they give some money to charities and all is well. Many come to Washington as average citizens and leave multi millionairs not to return to the state that elected them but to a big city to live the good life. because fo their government connections. I only singled out President Obama because you mentioned him. My comments are directed at both parties and the ones that work for the government to get their 20 and pension then go and work for the private sector to make their money

I wouldnt call it anti-government, I would call it patriotic. How is our government supposed to know what they are supposed to do unless we tell them. Now, dont get me wrong, the people that are employing violence and disrespect are quacks and would be there anyway. But the people who are exercising their right to peacefully assemble, that is what made our country.
