Obama wants to know how the country became so divided

How does it feel to go through life devoid of any sense of irony?

No one knows that better than you

Rasmussen is an honorable polling organization. They have consistently given Biden some of his highest approval ratings because they are careful to poll only registered and likely voters and poll demographics according to the total number of registrations.

They also gave Obama some of his highest approval ratings and Trump some of his lowest. So if their polls are uncomfortable for you to see, it hardly makes them a hack polling organization.

Rasmussen has been proven to be partisan.

I almost lost it when I saw this clip. Really? Obama wants to know how we became so divided?

The same Obama and Hillary who characterized the people as a basket of deplorables? Who described small town America as bitter, clinging to gun and religion with antipathy against immigrants and people who aren't like them? Who said: "If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us . . .' Who said "We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

The same Obama who called all opponents of same-sex marriage 'bigots.' Who called the pro life movement "a war on women." Who called all who wanted a secure border 'racist'. Who called the GOP 'the enemy of Hispanics.'

By the end of 2016 and after eight years of America having its first 'black President", ". . .Race relations have deteriorated to an unenviable place. In a July 2016 poll, nearly 70 percent of Americans agreed that race relations are generally bad – a level unseen since the 1992 Rodney King riots. . ." Barack Obama: The Great Divider

How did we become so divided Obama asks? He (and a number of others) only need to look in the mirror for the answer.

The answer is right in front of their eyes but they will never see it.

Rasmussen I believe was/is a Democrat. And I'll need someone with more credibility than Hafiz Rashid, formerly of "The Daily Beast" and TDS afflicted never-Trumper to convince me that Rasmussen has been anything other than honorable with their polls. Rashid seems totally obsessed with promoting propaganda bashing Trump.

So you think the leaked emails are fabricated?

No idea. No idea if they are real or, if they are, are being represented honestly. I'm pretty sure you have no idea either.

This is the grinding incrementalism of progressivism: push and push and push, then feign surprise that pushback exists. And frame the pushback as push.

They like to scream racism a lot. And anti-democracy. And favoring the wealthy too. And every once in awhile they frame the opposition as fascist.

Every POTUS since Clinton has actively worked to divide the country, each one doing more to make it happen than their predecessor.

I don't think Clinton or Bush set out to create more division. It was happening, but I don't see them as instigators.

Obama intentionally stoked division, he was the one who started using the adjectives previously reserved for terrorists to describe his political opponents. Republicans were "extremists" and came to the budget meetings with "bombs strapped to their chests", and so on.

He always hid behind his skin color, and while he was careful not to do it himself, his surrogates were always quick to accuse anyone who disagreed with his policies of being a racist.

This trend will continue no matter who win next month.

It will, unfortunately. But there could never have been a Trump without Obama first. Trump was a response to the way the GOP had been treated for 8 years.

Politics in America has always been a full contact sport, at least they are not having duels on the White House lawn or pulling knives on each other in the Congress. (Well except for that time Don Young pulled a knife on John Boehner, lol.)

I do agree, somewhat. Clinton was the last POTUS we had that tried to unite the country. Bush probably did not do it by design. He was weak minded and easy for the powers to be to manipulate.

Yes he did, and Trump followed by doing it to an even greater extent.

Growing up and even in my early adult years the members of each party could still get along with each other and did not view each other as evil or the enemy. This is where the true division is, in we the people. It is my opinion most of the division we see in DC is just acting, done to keep us divide.

Bush genuinely wanted to unite the country, but dems would have nothing of it. There was a brief moment after 9/11 but it didn't last long.

Yes he did, and Trump followed by doing it to an even greater extent.

The difference is that Obama was doing it by design, for Trump it comes naturally.

Obama followed the Saul Alinsky Playbook for most of his Presidency, he was after all a community organizer and that was his comfort zone. In 2016 they switched over to Norm Eisen's Orwellianian titled "Democracy Playbook", which is the full-blown color revolution manual. Trump is Hitler, he is controlled by a hostile foreign power, he wants to destroy democracy, etc.

Still going on today.

The division stems from D.C., absolutely. They need the division to justify their power. Agree there is a lot of Kabuki theater in it, the establishment pols still go out and play golf and hang out at the country clubs together and have each other's backs when they get caught red-handed...

It has bled into civil society today in a way I haven't seen before- I know lifelong friends who don't speak to each other anymore because of politics, and that is very sad.

He was one of the most divisive people in leadership I know. During his tenure, he pitted doctors against insurance, insurance against taxpayers, taxpayers against doctors, blacks against whites, Christian’s against non Christian’s, telling Republicans to ride in the back of the bus, he just couldn’t help it, he continues to do this and has no self awareness in that regard.

Divisive your ass

He was and is hated merely because he was a black man in the White House

That INCENSED the racists

America was divided long before Obama and the racist birtherism movement.

The divide was started by Newt Gingrich and his impeachment of Clinton over a blowjob.

Gingrich was having his own extramarital affair at the time. The man reeks of hypocrisy.

And then came Bush and more division.

You know what's really bizarre?

Right wingers defended Bush to the death. The Bush years were a non-stop knife fight between the Right and the Left.

The RIght defended Bush the same way they now defend Trump.

And yet what is the attitude of Trumptards toward Bush these days?

They hate Bush. They hate him because Trump told them to hate him. Because Trump is not a right winger and certainly is not a conservative.

So the submissive cucks hate Bush now.

Right out of Orwell.

Obama didn't divide the country. But people like racist birther Trump kept the country divided.

Don't forget the creation of Fox News/Faux News and Rush Limbaugh/hate Radio.....

I almost lost it when I saw this clip. Really? Obama wants to know how we became so divided?

The same Obama and Hillary who characterized the people as a basket of deplorables? Who described small town America as bitter, clinging to gun and religion with antipathy against immigrants and people who aren't like them? Who said: "If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, 'We're gonna punish our enemies, and we're gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us . . .' Who said "We don't mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back."

The same Obama who called all opponents of same-sex marriage 'bigots.' Who called the pro life movement "a war on women." Who called all who wanted a secure border 'racist'. Who called the GOP 'the enemy of Hispanics.'

By the end of 2016 and after eight years of America having its first 'black President", ". . .Race relations have deteriorated to an unenviable place.

Suck it Obama. Suck it hard, suck it well for Michelle.

Foxfyre Obama falls flat now. The days of him have any sway on voters are over.

Yawn.

Yawn.

He certainly isn't mentioned or used for ammo by the left much any more. And for good reason. Nothing really stands out in his track record to use to persuade voters. And for the first time lately, his public appearances have appeared to be more empty suit than substance.
