Presidential Honesty (ec)

Presidential honesty is huge to the American People. Some people might argue that if the preside3nt lies in order to keep a national secret, it is okay. However, I believe that their actions outside of their political works highly correspond directly to their decision making in the office. Take Obama for example. There has been roomers going around that he has lied to the general public multiple times regarding our troops all the way to wire tapping the public. he said, and I quote, “If we have not gotten our troops out by the time I am president, it is the first thing I will do.  I will get our troops home, we will end this war.  You can take that to the bank.” If he lies to us about those things, how do we know what else he lies about? How can we trust anything he says? Even with president Nixon and the Watergate scandal. The American public was hurt by what he did and the mistrust was huge. that is the same with president Obama and I believe that every American should be concerned if the president lies. A dishonest president equals a mistrusting public witch equals bad times for America. A good president would never keep secrets from us, they would let us know and let us be involved as well since it deals with us in the first place. Nobody should lie, so why is it okay when the President of the United Sates does.
