Why I am Running For President per Obama

He is running for President because "America is, is no longer, uh, what it could be, what it, it once was," "And I say to myself, I don't want that future for my children." Barak Obama to a 7 year old who asked why he was running for President. This has got to be one of the most degrading answers that a presidential candidate has every given. One runs for President because they want to improve an already great country. Someone who actually cared about this country in it's present form - a republic - would want to continue the tradition of it being the beacon of freedom for the rest of the world. We have a great country - we have made mistakes, we have learned from them and throughout our history we have continued to operate one of the greatest forms of government in history. What Obama wants is a USSA (United Socialist States of America) not a USA. That is the future he wants for this country - one where the government takes care of all your problems and takes all your money. As one person so eloquently put it - "We can all hope we have some change when he is done with this country!"
