thats fine. ill never forgive obama for diving this country up.
What specifically did he do to divide us besides getting elected? As I recall shortly after getting in office, McConnel and the Republicans were already vowing to oppose anything and everything.
first of all - can you tell me a time when a party went out of power, they said HEY - CAN'T WAIT TO WORK WITH THE NEW GUY!!!! the left keeps bringing this up as if godzilla gave birth to a brand new strategy. this has been going on since the first change in power so i honestly don't give a shit the left is all ass-hurt over it.
Do you ever recall the opposition vowing to whole sale oppose anything, regardless of whether or not it contained elements theycould support? I don’t. I recall opposition, but also deal making more often then. That changed when Obama was elected.

i never saw him take the side of the police. ever. in fact, he started off with "the police acted stupidly" and never got the facts first. this is in reference to the college professor being "harassed" outside his home.
Yes he did. He was new on the job and rushed to judgement. And guess what? He realized it, admitted it, and had a beer summit. What a great and public way to handle a mistake.
trayvon martin could be my son. wow. the acts of 2 stupid people wasn't divisive enough. we need our president to chime in and take a side here and ensure that the hatfields and mccoys can now use him as a reference point into this act as a barometer of right and wrong.
I am not seeing why this is an issue for you. Should the president speak out on antisemitism? What about murders committed by illegal immigrants? But if he speaks out about the risks facing black youth today, he is divisive? Really?
Obama has spoken out about many tragedies during his time in office. For example Sandy Hook, the Charleston Church shooting, Orlando, from the perspective of not just the president but a parent. But it is only divisive when it was a black youth he identified with?
clock boy - come on over to the whitehouse - that's just ****** picking on you!!!! later clock boy and his family were found to have
numerous ties to terrorism and this was a setup from the word go. yet, obama again without any facts or even seeing a picture of the clock, took the side of "clock boy" at the expense of the white people who were suffering from Islamophobia.
If you are going to claim numerous ties to terrorism, please find a reputable source, not Breitbart. At a time when Muslims are frequently targeted for harassment, what is wrong with inviting the kid, encouraging his interest in science? At the expense of who exactly?
you will let men pee in the girls room and you just need to stop being anal about it and realize you're a bigot.
fox news should be put out of business hell, he started the war on the media. no president should EVER get that involved in the media. for all the hate trump gets, he just said "hold my beer" to what obama started. a "media divide" is killing us right now and i hope you can even see that and where parts of this originated.
Really now....it sounds like you have an entire list of things you hate about Obama’s rather than things that are nationally divisive. I also think the white majority feels uncomfortable or threatened by a minority president taking an interest in minorities. It is different when a majority president does it because they are still comfortable knowing that the majority is still in charge. They don’t feel threatened. A white social justice crusader is far less threatening than a black, Hispanic, Muslim, or Jewish one. That is what the real divisiveness is.
back to the police - along with "they acted stupidly", did he EVER say the black person shot was at fault or was it always a racist police department? my memory says door #2 but we'll see what you've got here.
if this isn't enough, lemme know. for now i'll wait i suppose for you to justify all this w/o even saying yes, these are actions that can cause divide.
I think after his initial blooper, he did not say thing about the police in that sense. However, DoJ investigations of some police departments did find some real issues. Is that a problem for you?
On the other hand, he gave a very moving and heartfelt memorial for the officers gunned down in Dallas.

Obama on Dallas: 'Vicious, calculated, despicable attack on law enforcement' - CNNPolitics
"There is no possible justification for these kinds of attacks or any violence against law enforcement," Obama said, speaking from the NATO summit in Poland that he is attending. "Anyone involved in the senseless murders will be held fully accountable. Justice will be done."
Obama also ordered flags lowered to half staff at the White House and on public buildings and grounds.
The killer was black.
Make of it what you will.
