Just ask Jimmy Carter how he enjoyed his second term or Walter Mondale, Michale Dukakis and John Kerry how they liked being President at all.

Barack Obama Channels Michelle Obama-- "America Is Not What It Once Was"
Gateway Pundit — You're all just downright mean. Face it. Off the cuff... Barack sounds a lot like his wife Michelle.

Barack Obama’s Weekly Fail
The Sundries Shack — ... I am absolutely certain there has not been a more gaffe-prone candidate for President than Barack Obama.

Obama: America sucks, unless you elect me President
Stop The ACLU — ... elect Obama President. America is racist, unless you elect Obama President. America is mean, unless we elect Obama President. Is this really what we need in the White House? A man who sees himself as our personal saviour, who looks at his country and can see only negative? It certainly isn’t what I would want. Loving your country means being willing to admit our failures, but it also means feeling pride in our successes. Yet, with Obama, it’s all failure… and no success. Hat Tip: Hot Air

Betsy's Page — ... And I'm not even talking about his mistake that Americans liberated Auschwitz.

And I say to myself, I donât want that future for my children.â As you watch the video, it's clear that he formed his words carefully and was thinking about how to answer the little girl.

Media Mostly MIA on Obama's 'America Not What It Once Was' Downer Delivered to 7 Year-Old
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias — ... be noted nonetheless. Thursday, Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama gave a stunningly downbeat assessment of the nation's overall situation in a response to a seven year-old girl who asked him why he is running for president.

Here is a rundown of what happened from Ed Morrissey of Hot Air (direct YouTube link to relevant video is here): ...
