America Is Not What It Once Was.

Yesterday, a 7 year-old girl asked Barack Obama why he was running for President. Here is his response.

You are right, Mr. Obama, America is not what it once was. At one time, the electorate paid attention to socialist rhetoric and Marxist ideology and denounced it. At one time, America stood together against the prospects of an overbearing, overtaxing and overreaching government, and said “NO”. At one time America decided that the best it had to offer was in its individuals and that they should be able to do, think and act for themselves. At one time, America was founded on Christian morality, that valued the sanctity of life and the rule of law.

At one time, people running for President did so for love of country, not love of self.

In some ways, America is not what it once was, and you sir are a symptom of the problem NOT the prescription for change.

Rush Limbaugh provides a great response.

LIMBAUGH: Alright, now here’s he’s brought it home. He had trashed his country in Germany, he has seen the result of that in his plummeting poll numbers. And now he does it again in Elkhart, IN. A 7 year old little girl. You’re running for President Sen. Obama, a little girl asks you a question, “Why did you start running for President?”

It’s a 7 year old Senator. Ya tell her because you love the country. You tell her because this is the greatest place on Earth. That we’ve got challenges, but you want to help the country through it. You don’t tell a 7 year old that her country isn’t what it once was. You do not lie to 7 year olds and tell them that your country sucks. You just don’t do it Senator.

America’s no longer what it could be? What it once was? How the Hell would you know Sir? Your experience has only been in one part of America. Elite, leftist academia.
