The Skip Gates incident wasn't even the first that demonstrated the divisive nature of this president.


On Election Day in 2008, the New Black Panthers put representatives outside of a polling place in Philadelphia. They carried batons and made threatening remarks to any whit voters who attempted to enter the polling place. This incident sparked a Justice Department investigation where the lead on the case said it was a slam dunk case of voter intimidation. He made his recommendation to the new attorney general, Eric Holder, who was ordered to punt the case by his boss and instructed to do the same in any instance where the accused was minority.


Obama allowed his IRS to target tea party groups applying for 501c3 blocking them from claiming not for profit status. Any left leaning groups were passed through with little issue. That selective targeting practice continues to this day.


During campaign stops this week, Obama has been telling minority students that if Trump wins, their Pell Grants and other aid to predominately lack schools will be cut off or severely restricted on day one. A flat out lie, but when the black vote isn't as motivated to vote for an old white lady as they were for their messiah, you've gotta do what you have to to motivate them knowing they're not inquisitive enough to question the claims of The One.


During his presidency he has targeted religious groups (except for sacred Muslims) forcing mandates on them that directly challenge their religious beliefs.


He has dismissed the success of small to mid sized businesses that have become successful by telling owners that they didn't do that on their own.


He has sent thebJustice Department into Ferguson to investigate the police following the Mike Brown shooting, creating a culture of distrust in the police force only to find that they didn't do anything wrong in this incident. The Justice Department cleared the Department of any wrongdoing, which was barely reported.


The list goes on and on into just how divisive this man has been after running in 2008 on the platform that he had the unique ability to unify us. In polling, race relations were indicated to be good or excellent by 60% of blacks and 70% of whites at the time he was elected. Those figures have cratered to below 50% for either side most recently. It's been a steady decline. He had an opportunity to bring this nation together, but being a Saul Alinsky disciple, and a community organizer at heart, he chose to spin up the divisive rhetoric and stir the pot instead of trying to continue healing wounds. He has set race relations back probably 30 or 40 years in the process.
