In reply to the discussion: I'm I the only Person Surprised at Pres. Obama's Gallup Numbers? [View all]sabrina 1
(62,325 posts)92. Well, he President admires Reagan as he said, I don' get it either.
And we have so many Republicans in the Cabinet it's not surprising that Bush's policies would still be in place. All those 'agencies' the CIA, FBI, NSA, TSA, DHS, etc are filled with Republicans. I thought we would be seeing a complete clean up of the Government five years ago, instead we got more of them.
And that is why I don't trust the government. Because I don't trust Republicans.
