Obama: Sure I’ve divided the country

It could always be worse.

Obama: Sure I’ve divided the country, but it’s not, like, ‘Civil War divided’

When Obama took office, he promised to be a great uniting force.  He swore up and down that he would heal racial, economic, and social wounds, bringing the United States into a new golden era of cooperation and brotherhood. That didn’t happen. Almost from day one, with his “Republicans can sit in the back of the bus” comment, Obama proved to be one of the most divisive political figures in American history.

He displayed a refusal to seek middle ground, an unwillingness to change, and a constant, unwavering, desire to enact any policy that diminished the country he was elected to lead.  For seven years, he’s worked around Congress rather than with it, and operated in defiance of the wishes of the American people. In short, he opted for standoff rather than compromise.

Now, he laughably “regrets” how divided everyone is: (Video below)

First of all, if you need to use the Civil War to make the current situation look “not so bad” you’re already in a world of hurt. Suggesting that our situation should be viewed more favorably because it’s not as bad as one of history’s bloodiest, most horrific, wars is practically the definition of “damning with faint praise.” Has Obama really set the bar so low that “at least 50% of the country isn’t shooting at the other 50%” is the metric by which he judges modern levels of societal harmony?

More interesting is the fact that he doesn’t view the discord as a failure. It’s simply “a regret.” In other words; this is not his fault. “If we could just get the politics right” everything would be great.  Of course, we all know what that means. When you’re an intractable would-be king who sees the opposition as your enemy, “getting the politics right” means dropping the dissent and doing as you’re told.http://dailycaller.com/2010/10/25/obama-tells-latinos-to-punish-our-enemies-the-gop/

One thing he gets right? Things here are pretty great. When you compare the U.S. to the rest of the world, we’re still in stellar shape. The President has done everything he could to change that, but we’re a resilient people.

If we can stave off a Hillary Clinton presidency, we should be A-OK.

What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.
