Sarah Palin Rates Obama Job Performance a 4 Out of 10

Leading up to an hour-long interview with Barbara Walters on ABC's "20/20" Friday night, "Good Morning America" aired a segment Tuesday that featured Sarah Palin discussing many of the same topics she covered yesterday on "The Oprah Winfrey Show": her fights with the McCain campaign, her daughter's pregnancy, and Levi Johnston. Under Walters' questioning, Palin spoke more explicitly about certain McCain staffers and also offered some analysis of the Obama administration.

Unlike Oprah, Walters gave prominent time to Palin's critics, including recent efforts by McCain staffers to rebut claims she makes in "Going Rogue." Asked about senior McCain adviser Steve Schmidt, Palin assumed a posture she is using often: assigning blame while sounding conciliatory. "He's the one who was in charge of that vetting, is what I was told," Palin said. "Everyone is entitled to their opinion, though. I know truth, and I'm fine with who I am and where I am."

Later in the interview, excerpts of which will be aired throughout the week on "GMA," Palin criticizes President Obama for taking the country "away from free-enterprise principles that founded the country" and for "dithering" on Afghanistan. She said she would give him a "4" so far on a scale of 1 to 10. Palin hopes to play a role in national politics "if people will have me," but will not say outright that she is running for president in 2012.

Palin also discussed her family, saying their daily life became like a "reality show." Did she feel like a failure as a parent when she heard Bristol was pregnant? "I think there was that sense of having let her down," Palin said. She was "devastated' when she first heard, because there "are ways to prevent that" and she had chosen to believe her daughter was not sexually active. Palin said she would have supported Bristol using birth control, but strongly counseled her away from abortion.
