In the wake of the recent revelations of spying and abuse of power on the part of the government under his administration, Barack Obama had the following to say:
“If people can’t trust not only the executive branch but also don’t trust Congress, and don’t trust federal judges, to make sure that we’re abiding by the Constitution with due process and rule of law, then we’re going to have some problems here.”
To get a different perspective on this, I decided to ask Red Cloud, an Oglala Sioux Chief with extensive personal knowledge about what happens when you trust the government, to tell us about his experience in that area. His reply:
“They made us many promises, more than I can remember. They never kept but one… They promised to take our land – and they took it!”
It seems we may “have some problems here”, Mr. Obama.
