US President Barack Obama has acknowledged that many Americans no longer believe in his administration and US governments in general.
Obama admitted that people are deeply suspicious of the administration which came to power on a hope and change platform.
Obama made the disappointing comments during a Wednesday speech in the state of Missouri on his endangered health reform plan for which he has been touring to gather support.
"People have lost faith in government — they had lost faith in government before I ran (for president), and it has been getting worse," he told a rally in the city of St. Louis.
The US president is struggling hard to advance his health plan which the Republicans have branded as a large-scale government take-over scheme.
Obama defends the plan saying it helps cut massive long-term deficits. The president wants the House of Representatives to pass the Senate version of the health care bill with fractional amendments.
