Obama, Increasing the Nation’s Distrust of Government

May 29, 2013 By E.J. Smith - Your Survival Guy

As the pressure of the scandals build-up, so does the arrogance. “The Benghazi tragedy shows the naiveté of thinking that our nation would be loved and the world safer simply because of the power of Mr. Obama’s personality. The IRS abuses and Justice’s snooping on the press, reminiscent of the worst of President Nixon, highlight for all the danger of larger government involvement in our lives,” writes Pete Du Pont at The Wall Street Journal.

E.J. plays a Yamaha Recording Custom drum set with Zilldjian cymbals. His first drum set was a 5-piece Slingerland with Zildjians. He grew-up worshiping Neil Peart (RIP) of the band Rush, and loves the song Tom Sawyer—the name of his family’s boat, a Grady-White Canyon 306. He grew up in Mattapoisett, MA, an idyllic small town on the water near Cape Cod. He spends time in Newport, RI and Bartlett, NH—both as far away from Wall Street as one could mentally get. The Newport office is on a quiet, tree lined street not far from the harbor and the log cabin in Bartlett, NH, the “Live Free or Die” state, sits on the edge of the White Mountain National Forest. He enjoys spending time in Key West (RIP JB) and Paris.
