That is the title of the lead editorial in today's WSJ. The writer takes the President to task for his habit of demonizing and vilifying political opponents and attributing the basest motives to their opposition. He concludes that this president is nothing if not divisive in his rhetoric.
By way of comment I would simply add that the way President Bush's rhetoric was treated by the Left stands in sharp contrast to the latitude President Obama is accorded. Remember how shocked and outraged the Left was when Mr. Bush called out our enemies and described Iran, Iraq and North Korea the "axis of evil?" But not a peep from them when the presidential target is, not our enemies, but Republicans and talk show hosts and tv networks and, even, fellow citizens who make up the Tea Party movement.
Mr. Obama may have the ability to turn a phrase that tickles the ears of left wing elites. But in my book he's a boorish person, totally lacking in class.

I think that the WSJ was very tolerant when the previous President would make remarks like either you supported him and his administration or you supported terrorism. That's divisive.
The nature of partisan politics is its divisiveness. The current President's rhetoric hasn't seemed that boorish to me. But then I support him, and you don't. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, as is the Wall Street Journal. But all in all, I think it's politics as usual.

And he lies....Put the blame were it belongs...Fanni/Freddi....Dodd..Frank,amazing how these to idiots are just skating on this.
They ruined this country and NOTHING happens to them!
Not on me. Bush looked pathetic making those ridiculous "arguments." Well, not as pathetic as his droning on with "it's hard work."
I couldn't stand Kerry, either. I didn't vote that year.
