Quote:How is the country any more divided than it was when he took over?

 

I believe that the country started getting divided during President Bush's second term, especially with the War on Terror and the campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan.  President Obama has done nothing but add to this divide by being weak on international policy and weak on economic policy.  Then take how he has "spoken out" regarding certain crimes here when it comes to social policy.  Saying that "police officers acted stupidly" before the facts were known or "if he had a son he would look like Trevon Martin".  Those kinds of things have done nothing but add "fuel to the fire" when it comes to how people react or engage with one another.  Take a look at the news headlines from Baltimore at the moment.
