Do you trust our (U.S.) government?

I am very patriotic, more Texan pride than U.S. pride, but I still have always stood behind and trusted what the government said was so. Lately it seems that they lie about everything. Is it just the Obama administration or has it always been the fcked up and I just didn't notice before? How long do you think they can keep spouting b.s. before people get fed up?
