Obama's biggest mistake? He says it was not being able "to tell a story"

Do we still stand with Israel?

Barack Obama has made many mistakes while serving as president. His $862 billion stimulus--that his office erroneously claimed would keep unemployment rate below 8 percent is one. The jobless rate has been above that level since early 2009. Then there is his unpopular ObamaCare leviathan. And let's not forget his attempt to force an expensive cap-and-trade scheme on the American people.

Foreign policy failures are plentiful under Obama. He is our first anti-Israeli president. And the Jewish state isn't the only close ally he has sold out. Britain--he unceremoniously returned the oval office bust of Winston Churchill to the UK--is another. And he caved in to the Russians in regards to European missile defense--angering the Poles.

I could go on and on....

Here is what Obama told CBS News' Charlie Rose about what he thinks is his biggest mistake.

"When I think about what we've done well and what we haven't done well, the mistake of my first term -- couple of years -- was thinking that this job was just about getting the policy right," Obama said. "And that's important."

Well I of course he got the policy part way wrong.

Here's the worst part:

"But the nature of this office is also to tell a story to the American people that gives them a sense of unity and purpose and optimism, especially during tough times," he continued.

"Tell a story?" C'mon now. Voters chose Obama over John McCain because they thought--wrongly--that he was the better candidate to fix the broken economy. Obama has failed at that and at so many more things.

Sheesh....and he takes no responsibility for his plethora of failures. Oh, I forgot a big one. Under Obama, for the first time in history, America's credit rating was downgraded.

Here is Romney's appropriate response:

President Obama believes that millions of Americans have lost their homes, their jobs and their livelihood because he failed to tell a good story. Being president is not about telling stories. Being president is about leading, and President Obama has failed to lead. No wonder Americans are losing faith in his presidency.
