September 2004: As John Kerry steps up his criticism of the Bush administration's handling of Iraq and the war on terror, Republicans repeatedly suggest that he is emboldening the enemy. Senator Zell Miller (D-GA) says that "while young Americans are dying in the sands of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan, our nation is being torn apart and made weaker because of the Democrats' manic obsession to bring down our Commander in Chief." President Bush says, "You can embolden an enemy by sending a mixed message... You send the wrong message to our troops by sending mixed messages." And Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) claims that terrorists "are going to throw everything they can between now and the election to try and elect Kerry," adding that Democrats are "consistently saying things that I think undermine our young men and women who are serving over there."
In addition, South Dakota GOP chair Randy Frederick attacked Senator Tom Daschle, saying "Daschle's three years as Complainer in Chief have brought shame to the honor of his office, concern to our men and women in uniform, and comfort to America's enemies." When asked about this comment, John Thune, Daschle's opponent, cited Daschle's statement that President Bush "failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war" before the invasion of Iraq, saying "What it does is emboldens our enemies and undermines the morale of our troops," adding, "His words embolden the enemy."
Well I know a lot of people who hated Bush. But never did I hear anyone call Republicans "the enemy" or "terrorists". That's on Obama. Period.
Americans... still believe in an America where anything's possible - they just don't think their leaders do.
And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.
As I've said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis' future.
But what we can do, as flawed as we are, is still see God in other people, and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do, that's what I pray to do every day.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it's only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

This country is more divided than ever. Tonight I am going to a party with some die hard union people whom I've always respected and joked around with. I fear those days over. And while I hope it will be less contentious after the election (regardless of who wins) I doubt if it can be repaired. And frankly, I don't think the president gives a shit. He has shown his true colors and thinks of half the country as the "enemy". He intends to fundamentally change this country and if that means destroying it first, so be it.
well before talk radio and year round political pundits in the media we used to have time to heal between the bouts of election madness.
It is now a continous year round 24 hr drone that is destroying this country.
Lots of people have problems with the fairness doctrine but it prevented this from happening.
C'mon is anyone going to refute the division caused in the Bush admin or was it all to the good until 2008?
Doing the right thing for minorities...
This is an interesting term.
Could you define what this means, and how it would be accomplished?

No... you libs treated Bush like he was Satan incarnate.
I remember all the shitty things said about him and Cheney by liberal Demoncat politicians.
Don't even try and act like it was all sunshine and rainbows buddy.
You liberals seem to think we can't remember things.

I see you didn't get your answer Mac. Face it most are more interested in demonizing the other side that thinking logically.
I never heard the Republicans refer to Dems as the enemy. And if you're going to do the right thing for minorities, shouldn't you be doing the right thing for everyone??
Once you pin a Democrat, they disappear and find new talking points. They are divisive and deceitful.
She posts, logs out and hopes you will too so that she can log back in 2 minutes later and play "gotcha".
obama doesn't believe he's dividing anyone. He wants us to be one big happy socialist family and those who won't agree are doing the dividing.
The nation is so polarized and so divided that no president could govern as one nation that which has clearly become two with opposing political goals and ideologies.

I find it absolutely incredible that he really doesn't believe he is dividing, he knows he is dividing and if he can do enough spinning and create enough of a rift, he can win.
Some of the dividing he has done:
America vs big oil
America vs small business
America vs doctors
America vs insurance
America vs banks
America vs rich
America vs republicans
Republicans vs clean air, clean water.
Republicans vs women
Republicans vs seniors
Republicans vs blacks
Republicans vs Hispanics
Poor vs rich
Romney vs taxpayers
It is crazy how much hate Mr. Hope and Change has given us.
