The unfortunate reality is that while a lot of people didn't agree with Bush or other past Presidents they did not divide the country along social economic and racial lines as this President has done. He has pitted American's against each other. I'm still not sure if it's out of stupidity or intentional. He definitely was not qualified to a Mayor let alone a President but he was elected because he is black which is never justification for electing someone President. The voters that put him into office are just as guilty of dividing the country as he is. Another unfortunate piece is this division of America will last long after he is gone if it ever subsides.
He has done something no other President has done which is divide what was once the strongest country in the nation, pit it's citizens against each other and failed to deliver any meaningful solution to the problems we face as a nation.
Not true at all. Ronald Reagan was the Grand Wizard at pitting Americans against each other: Corporations vs Unions, Gays v Straights, Black and other minorities vs White. America is entering economic decline and the politicians' dirty hands are all over it. It has been happening since the mid-late 70s. Everything that they do is for the benefit of the banks, big business, any lobbyist that is paying them enough. Just look at what's going on with the immigration nonsense. Do you see any Senator except for Sen Durbin who actually spoke up for the American worker?

And he ended up voting YES to the immigration bill changes allowing for double the H1-B and unlimited green cards. Oh he voiced his "concern" but in the end voted YES to the changes.

The dividing of the people is not the president. It's the talking heads and the House (where everything starts). Its groups like the Tea Party that have no problem cannibalizing the right just so they can have their way, and only their way, and no other way.
Just to bring back up...

Are you referring to universal health care? Or are you referring to social security, Medicare or disability? Is Obama responsible for all of that?
What exactly is going to change the day he is voted out of office? I predict the sour puss sore loser attitudes of the tea partiers and birthers who could never cope with or accept that fact that he was voted into office just like any other POTUS. Other than that, nothing much, but if we get a Republican in office, I suppose lower taxes for the rich and more derugulation so this oligarchy gets stronger. When Bush was in the driver seat, you closed your eyes and went to sleep for the entire ride, the minute Obama took over you opened your eyes and kept looking, yet some of what you are seeing are delusions, which is common with sleep derpivation. If you were scrutinizing every other POTUS so closely, you would see that Obama is not the first to do a lot of the things you're up in arms about.

All this complaining about Obama makes me think what kind of direction we would be headed in if one of those inbreed, sloppy talking, non tax paying Republicans won the election. The real reason this country is going to hell is because a lot of people who live hear are just down right stupid. No common sense. Always standing up for the wrong reasons. They have a lot to say about what is going wrong but have no solution to fix any problem. Hell, I just met a man who is on welfare and government assistance but says he is a republican who wants less government in the country. The real problem is the people.

The word "compromise" left the D and R play books some time ago.
Republicans can no longer talk about OTHERS playing the race card. Have you perused the forum lately? It's chock full of Cons 'playing the race card'. In fact, it's about damn near all they talk about or post about.
