This is an experiment to see how honest people can be if they don't have to identify themselves. Some silly, some deep, but all require honesty.

What is your biggest frustration with government?
Remember government is bigger than the current or past President and the men and women who are voted into the various roles. This question is intended to be about the US Government and how it works, not the individuals.

It is way too big, much bigger than the founding fathers intended and even warned about. Also it has way too much power. The government's job is not to take care of us and provide for us.
I agree, way to big with too much power. I wish they would leave more up to the state, and let the people in that state vote. I'm getting tired of a few people who are power hungry in office making life changing decisions for me.
Re-read the question 10:03... it's not about individuals, it's about how the system works as a whole. I think the whole tone of this post was to step back a little and not single out our president or past presidents. Those of us that support Obama have said enough in previous posts.
With that said, I agree with what others have already said. There's way too much money and corporate lobbying involved in the process. I'm convinced that most politicians (on both sides) care more about the dollar than the well being of the public. You're nobody in Washington unless you can raise enough money for yourself.
Most of these questions are now submitted. Please feel free to submit your question and see how others feel. Email me here with a subject line of "Anonymous Truth"

Too much corruption. Particularly due to lobbying and with rich companies being able to give so much money to politicians.
I don't like the Electoral College. It takes power away from the voters and places it in the hands of political bureaucracy.
It is off balance, too big in some areas, too limited in others. And I totally agree about the corruption and lobbying, it's ridiculous.
Yep, lobbying. That's on both sides of the aisle.
so nobody wants to defend Obama and the rest of the government? gasp
