... People get mad when public leaders react.

It's like no one likes it when anyone does their job.

The issue is they aren't doing their job, they're giving the easy, politically advantageous, dishonest answers. 

People want one of those altruistic types who seems honest. If you don't have charisma it's harder to lie, and most don't.

But don't cry for them. The more angry and cynical people get, they less they vote or try to do anything about it, then you get a new status quo.
