Obama: “America is no longer what it once was”
Hot Air ^ | August 7, 2008 | Ed Morrissey

Posted on 08/07/2008 9:28:42 AM PDT by Fox_Mulder77

When presidential candidates answer questions from children about why they want the job, most will give an answer that uplifts the child and the candidate. Not Barack Obama. At a campaign stop in Elkhart, Indiana, a seven-year-old girl asked the Democrat why he wants to be President — and he told her that America has gone downhill:

No doubt Obama wants to bring back slavery or something ~ yeah, that’s the ticket ~ he’s a commie, and that’s nothing more than a different name for slavery.

I am really sick and tired of these Marxists tearing down this great nation. On the other hand he just might be right. America isnt what it once was because of liberal thinking.

he told her that America has gone downhill:

Obama is 100% correct. Never before in it's history has so many of it's citizens nominated such a complete lightweight imbecile to run for it's leader.

You are correct, but you also left out divorce and adultery.

The man is an idiot; of course MSM will cover up for him like they always do. But....McCain needs to make an ad out of this ASAP, saying he is running to be the leader of the greatest nation on the earth and call into question Obama’s patriotism. I saw on L.com that Obama’s plane has no american flag on it? He replaced it with his logo, I’m surprised it doesn’t have the great seal of Obamaland on it.

‘America has gone downhill’

He’s right.

Negative savings rate, can’t control borders, banning trans fat, fabianism, kelo vs new london, etc.

And when people become THIS freaking STUPID and inattentive to their freedoms, THIS is the candidate they deserve.

Yep, that comes to my mind also. I think America has gone downhill in some areas, but not the same areas that Barack is concerned about.

I would love to see liberals held to account for the bad changes in society and gov’t programs since the ‘60s. Those ideas and changes were all liberal ideas. Liberals thought they were fixing a lot of the problems of society with the Great Society and anti-poverty programs initiated in the ‘60s. There is strong evidence that these programs haven’t worked out as planned. Why are liberals never held to account for their failures?

Or do liberals really think their programs succeeded well? Do they like having multiple generations growing up on welfare in a dependent status? Do they prefer everyone to celebrate their sexuality and not worry about how the children are raised, because that’s what welfare is for? Just wonder sometimes about what liberals really think about the way these “compassionate” programs work in the real world.

Socialism is slavery,

except the master/slave relationship is not based on race or on conquerers/conquered this time,

but on who has the most political “pull”.

“America is …, uh, is no longer, uh … what it could be, what it once was. And I say to myself, I don’t want that future for my children.”

Obama, what do you "don't want" for the future for your children? What it once was? What it could be? Quit using dangling modifiers.
