Have we stopped listening?

Ron Fournier writes in the National Journal,

The Benghazi attack, the seizure of telephone records from the Associated Press, the IRS's investigations of political groups, the National Security Agency's massive domestic-spying operation, the "red line" in Syria, and now Obamacare—the White House responded to every controversy or quasi-scandal with changing explanations, distortion, or outright deception.

Predictably, the public is starting to doubt the word of the president and his team—even as majorities still approve of many of his policies. Obama is dangerously close to following Bush into one of the darkest corners of the American presidency, when the public stops listening to its chief executive.
