Hello Fellow Boomers. Last night President Obama addressed the nation for the annual State of the Union message. It made me think of the song many years ago called, "Where Is The Love". Maybe it should of been called "Where Is the Trust?"
The President said last night "We face a deficit of trust". Yes, Mr. President at you and your administration. Trust is earned, not given freely. Integrity is doing what you say you are going to do. Without integrity there exists no trust. It reminds many of us Baby Boomers of the distrust of President Nixon during the dark days of the Vietnam War. So many of us distrusted our leaders, but for some reason many Boomers are putting their trust in our government again. Remember well, we are the People. The trust must lie with us. This is not a Republican or Democratic party issue, our basic foundation of government lies in the Constitution. We are Boomers and Americans must always be aware of individuals or groups who would compromise that trust - it is We the People!
