President Obama has once again restated his belief that military intervention in the Ukraine is not in the United States' best interests. This is a fairly obvious conclusion, as it is more an internal affair than an international one. However, the news article implies that the President has had to explain his decision multiple times. That seems strange, considering we voted him into office and generally should trust him to make the decisions he was elected to make. However, we are a naturally distrusting culture at this point. We don't want to let people do the things we appoint them to do, because we believe that they will fail.
This kind of attitude toward our government, specifically the President and those directly under him, is a massive impediment toward his efficiency. Moreover, being this cynical is going to cause a spiral and keep shackling our government officials by the fact that they have to explain themselves multiple times. This is going to cause a steady loss of efficiency and a decline of trust in our government until something is done to correct the issue
