Obama himself is unprecedented.
After all, he is Americas First Failed Black Pres-dent.....
One of the interesting things is that AP seems to have an affinity to referring to Sarah Palin as "failed Vice President candidate" in every mention of her. I noticed the same in Reuters report today that Rudy might challenge Gillibrand for the NY Senate seat --- "failed Presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani" ---
I kinda like this approach by the MSM, but of course they'll have to apply it evenly and fairly if they seek to go down this road in their style-book:
Failed Presidential candidate John Kerry
Former Vice President but failed Presidential candidate Algore (twice - 1988 & 2000)
Failed Presidential and Vice Presidential candidate John Edwards
Completely Failed former Vice President and Presidential candidate Walter Mondale
... the list can go on and on and on ....
BUT! Soon in the future ---
FAILED President Barack Obama
