does anybody care when the American president lies to American citizens?

Not too many it seems.  And to Mr rockandroll5 get your facts straight they held impeachment proceedings but voted not to impeach President Clinton or he would have been out of office, a little reserch into our Constitution would be a big benefit to people before they write things like that.

You asked why "NOBODY" cares to stop the corruption. The fact is that there were thousands of more people voting on the last American Idol competition than voted in the presidential election. Americans 'speak', every day. By not participating in the governmental process they are 'saying' that it is not their responsibility and they do not care.\nTake a look at some of the questions people ask on YA, and some of the answers people are giving. If this forum is representative of American society, it is crystal clear why there is a failure in the American civic structure. A huge percentile of the questions are unintelligible, immoral, grammatically incorrect, etc.\nThe questions are coming from people who are "educated?" in the American schools to which you refer. \nYes, there is corruption, but it might possibly begin in the homes where there are not 2 parents, the television serves as the parent, children are not taught manners and moral behaviour, and immoral behaviour is rewarded. In more eloquent words than my own,Thomas Paine said, "Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one" , and Ronald Reagan said,  "The best minds are not in government. If any were, business would steal them away." \nAccurate commentaries, I think.

I am with you all the way. One of my favorite jokes is "how can you tell if a politician is lying...Watch his lips move" The government can pretty much do as they want but let a normal American citizen try some of that stuff and watch what happens. We have no privacy and Democracy is a joke anymore...

Its called APATHY - something that unfortunately consummes Americans lives. \n\nSimply put, we are all apathetic to it. Yelling and screaming about it doesnt do a damn thing, the administration isnt going to do a damn thing, so why bother complaining about it anymore? Same reason no one complains that Bush is a liar and a fraud, is killing our troops, is destroying our civil rights, and is enjoying every minute of it. What good will comlinaing do? The midwest will still vote for the Idiot, and the Republicans will remain in power, and nothing will change until the administration is defeated. And since that will never happen, no one cares anymore.

No--millions of Americans are not terrorists yet he has seized phone records of millions.\n\nHe said before...I will ONLY spy on Americans if one of the parties in the call is overseas...he has now lied about what he said...once a liar...always a liar..\n\nBe very afraid as he is taking away our rights more than any other presided and is absolutely the worst president EVER!!  Americans need to be in the streets in the numbers the illegal aliens were.

Obviously, loyalty to a friend is more important to Bush than the safety and well-being of the US. He is surrounded by cronies who lie to him and protect him from the truth. His audiences are carefully selected so that he gets only favorable feedback. Everything has been ruined by this administration: our environment, our military, our economy, you name it.

Americans don't really seem to care and believe that their one vote won't matter but if you think about it that is what about half the population thinks. A thing you might want to think of too is if we get accurate results when we vote???

If anyone is still surprised that Bush lies, they haven't been paying attention.

I will never pretend to speak for all Americans, but I am highly qualified to speak for myself.\n\nI am far less concerned about how the rest of the world sees us than I am about my freedom and safety being infringed upon.\n\nI voted for George W. Bush twice, and feel that if he is arrogant or inconsiderate of others it is because he feels the need to protect the people of the country that elected him - twice.

Unfortunately, the general populace's lack of interest in politics, its complete apathy, failure to vote, to find out what is really going on in this country, has lead to the intolerable situation we find ourselves in right now.\n\nI'm sure that not every public official is a bad person; the law of probability alone does not allow it.  However, the average American citizen does not know much about his/her local and national officials, the pressing issues of the day, laws, etc.\n\nTherefore, we now take what we are told at face value, do not question anything for fear of bashing/retribution, and accept what the press and politicians tells us - the webs of lies craftly spun to keep us ignorant, in the name of "National Security".  The abuse of power is blatant and appalling.\n\nNot only are we at war, but foreign countries have bought much of our important domestic assets, our privacy is basically non-existant, we are denounced as traitors if we dare question laws such as the Patriot Act, our phones are being tapped, our e-mail messages and regular mail read, etc.\n\nIt is terrible, scary, and indecent.  Our country was founded precisely because our forefathers decried the intrusion of their mother country into their personal affairs.  How ironic then, that those who now try to preserve those Unalienable Rights, the same ones safeguarded and preserved with the blood of countless men, women, and children throughout our history, we are denounced as anti-American and told that if we don't like it, we should leave.\n\nThe signers of the Declaration of Independence must be rolling over in their graves.  What a tragedy.  It makes me very sad.
