GATES RAISES NEW TRUST QUESTIONS FOR EMBATTLED OBAMA - Public confidence in the commander in chief and his team is taking another hit today in the wake of new allegations about President Obama’s political calculations on military strategy. Robert Gates, Obama’s first-term secretary of Defense, has rattled Washington and disrupted the president’s intended narrative for the midterm election year. As the president tries to shift the conversation to an attack on Republican resistance to expanded welfare spending, Gates’ bombshell memoir is raising new questions about the trustworthiness of a president still reeling from the revelation that he misled voters with a claim that Americans would be able to keep their health insurance and physicians under ObamaCare. On top of that, there is lingering public concern about Obama’s expansion of domestic surveillance programs. The timing for Gates’ claims could hardly be worse. The money line from the former secretary: “I felt that agreements with the Obama White House were good for only as long as they were politically convenient.”Fox News has more.
