Obama...Ripping America Apart

[Mustang]

Can Obama bring the country together in any common cause?

my opinion... not a chance

Americans' Views of Obama More Polarized as Election Nears
Ninety percent of Democrats, 8% of Republicans approve of him
by Jeffrey M. Jones

PRINCETON, NJ -- Thus far in October, an average of 90% of Democrats, and 8% of Republicans, approve of the job Barack Obama is doing as president. That 82-percentage-point gap in approval ratings by party is on pace to be the largest Gallup has measured for a recent incumbent president in the final month before Americans vote on his re-election. George W. Bush had an 80-point party gap in approval, while the October gaps for other presidents were less than 70 points.


Americans' Views of Obama More Polarized as Election Nears

Mon Dieu!

Is there anyone here who seriously believes for one minute that conservatives ever had any intention whatsoever of doing anything other than obstructing virtually everything that President Obama and the Democrats proposed?

Yup, blame conservatives for Obama's inability to negotiate for the American people..

Basically, you're admitting Obama is unqualified for leadership.

The same thing happened after Clinton was elected. In the post Reagan era where talk radio pervades the landscape with a nonstop anti-Democrat message, it's no wonder that Obama can't bring the country together.

So Obama is ripping America apart?

The election is split down the middle, would that not mean that there are 2 parties (forgive the pun) involved?

You are an uneducated fool if you think that Obama is solely responsible for the "ripping" apart of America.. Politics became partisan before Obama even put his hand on the bible, this forum is indicative of that fact.

Look at the deceit barfed up all over this board, hell, CrusaderFrank contributed a turd within the first 10 posts:

"Apparently, Dems approve Obama downgrading our credit"

That is the proverbial partisan BULLSHIT, S&P flat out said it was BECAUSE of the inability of congress to get together regarding fiscal planning. BOTH parties are to blame for that, NOT one party.

As long as people go around with the same mentality as Frankie, the "ripping" will continue.

"I think Obama has and is doing everything he can to tear the nation down. He wants it rebuilt into something he and his find ideal and many others do not want. What disturbs me the most is the overwhelming amount of bigotry that has been coming out of the left in the past few years. It's just amazing that any disagreement with Obama at all is met with instant screams of racism and followed up by huge amounts of racist comments direct at those they are accusing of being racists. "

and I think that conservatives (fox news, hate radio, ann coulter, michelle malkin etc) are doing their best to fan the flames of the culture war. Accusing liberals of FALSE crimes in their attempt to establish a CHRISTIAN nation. Calling liberals;

traitors
treasonous
morons
the enemy
the REAL enemy
terrorist lovers

with the intent of instilling extreme anger and hatred into people like.....you!

(hey! it worked!)

and with such mindless hatred based on false realities it is IMPOSSIBLE for you to ever come to an agreement with liberals.

you CAN'T be friends with them...they are the ENEMY!

you can't let them have ANYTHING! they are EVIL!

(let's not forget congressman Brouns declaration just the other day that people who do not believe in creation are EVIL! from the PIT of HELL!....which was defended by people like you!)

I expect you to refuse to accept any responsibility for the situation we are in but rational people can easily see that YOU and people like you are JUST as guilty of TEARING DOWN America!

This guy that lives in the White House doesn't want to call al Qaeda or the Taliban terrorists. The republicans are his enemy. Last I checked, the republicans were indeed Americans and Al Qaeda and the Taliban want us dead. So who's driving this division of Americans and tearing us down??

You make a very good point their

i think politics in america and also in my country the uk has sadly very divided by right vs left.

I don,t think it just obama fault. all presidents through time have struggled to make things really happen due to this confilct.

Eh.. the country needs a fresh start.. there is no way Obama could be a part of that..

Romney at least offers that possibility..

 

[Rocko]

In light of republicans voting against their own ideas and calling them socialism I wonder just what Obama could have ever done to unite the nation other than resign and commit suicide.

Just because Obama says there Republican ideas, doesn't make them so.

 

[Stephanie]

The conservative media and the GOP is doing FAR more to foment division than Obama. All along the accusations of being a secret Muslim, secret Socialist, secret Communist, scary negro, has had only one purpose, to make Obama himself the artificial wedge issue of the election season.

yeah right, and Bush was called most of those (of course you had to throw in Obama's skin color, YAWN) when he was in office . Obama has done NOTHING to bring this country together..In fact he tears us down every chance he gets

Do you think Romney can do what Obama couldn't and unite this country in a way that lifts it out of the rut it's in?

doubt it, But he can try... watching the lefties marching, camping on Presidents lawns, invading Congressional hearings attacking our Sec. of State during the Bush years, they aren't going to give it up..I think THEY will be worse..
I have to laugh when I hear people whine about a few names Obama has been called when he hasn't suffered anything like we all experienced with BUSH

A fresh start is not going to end dogmatic partisanship.

The demographics will still remain the same, unless 2/3 the country just vaporizes...

Well i disagree. i think obama can be part of it. He can learn from mistakes of his dealing with conservatives and learn to find some compromise.

Also if romney wins it won,t mean make congress any more at less parisan. it still be split down the middle and romney will still find it hard to compromise with the dems. So whoever wins will find it a promblem.

"Do you think Romney can do what Obama couldn't and unite this country in a way that lifts it out of the rut it's in? "

ROmney is NOT a right winger

he's hiding it from his base to win the election but really he is a RINO, a MODERATE conservative who does NOT (like so many conservatives) HATE liberals or democrats. I believe that, though he disagrees with their vision, he can work with them towards a rational middle ground.

I expect to see him govern the country the way he governed Mass; from a rational middle

I also expect big business to REWARD us with a few jobs AFTR ROmeny wins

and fuel to go down A LITTLE for a short period

I expect MOST liberals to be NOT COMPLETELY unhappy with Romney and his governing style, unike conservatives who are blinded by mindless hate and rage and can NOT EVER give an inch!

The whole country can't EVER come together as one because deranged and hatefilled conservatives will NEVER agree with anything that isn't a complete victory for them and their ideas of conservatism

Sounds like an excuse... when has Obama actually made the effort..?

Obama has made a concerted effort to split the country..

I am sure romney will govern from center. the promblem is i think dems bitter from partisan wars of last four years with conservatives will not make things easy for him in congress.

i just think congress is to set in it ways for the next four years to be one of peace. too many people from either side too idelogical to make things happen. i am sure romney will try to reach across the other side but his own side and dems will find it hard to work together.

He has brought together Blacks, Latinos, Women, Gays, angry white Men, not so much (not including Chris Mathew and he did seem angry last week.....

 

[kiwiman127]

It's not just Obama. It's not just the GOP. It's not only the Dems. It all three combined. It is the lack of maturity and the lack of the art of compromise. It's also Big Money dictating policy of both major parties..
Trying to blame one person or one party is intellectual dishonesty.

The issue is whoever is president will struggle to do anything while congress fails to communicate with each other in a mature and balanced way.
its become far too partisan so whoever is president struggles to get anything done. Both president bush and president obama had this promblem with congress and so would a president romney.

With friends like bill ayers, frank marshall davis, and jeremiah wright the community organizing empty suit never should have made it out of the chicago ghetto...............

Really good point

even a president romney won,t be able to change this issue. Congress need to change really. Untill both left and right understand that they need think less ideological and more working together for american people nothing will get done.

 

[Katzndogz]

obama hasn't ripped anything apart. The nation is divided. The ideological divisions are so deep and wide that there is no point of compromise.

But if you go with that view then your have congress at each throats all the time and divided america with it. that can,t help. you got to compromise from both sides sometimes.
