One of the puzzling questions about Barack Obama’s presidency is how the post-partisan candidate of 2008 became the polarizing chief executive of 2010. The answer may be surprising. He was far more polarizing from the start than many recognized. His choices in office and his opponents’ responses have only hardened that divide.

During the campaign, Candidate Obama talked about the need to put the partisan divisions of the past behind. His victory fostered discussion about whether the country had turned a corner after years of bitter partisanship. In the glow of his inauguration, some people heralded a new era in American politics.

Such notions appear badly off the mark at this point in his presidency. A closer look at the time would have rendered such conclusions questionable at best. Equally questionable was the expectation that he could break the grip of partisan polarization in the country.

Based solely on his support of abortion (both within the U.S. and his forcing of abortion on foreign countries) it’s clear that he doesn’t fear God.

A person who doesn’t fear God is absent of wisdom. He lacks many Christian principles as both a person and as president (as does the majority of Democrats in the House and Congress).

He was and is a convenient front man for the party. The Democratic controlled majority could care less about working with Republicans or Independents. Until…it comes to the year prior to general elections.

Then on the campaign trail, any cooperation between the parties is completely torn apart.

Same old, same old. Year in and year out.
 
This is NOT a news story, just a puff opinion piece and an apologetic trying to “explain away” why such a large segment of the country has turned on this guy. You see, according to this spin it’s not that Obama is an ideologue and partisan, who rams through partisan legislation that the majority of the country doesn’t want, like ObamaCare . . . no, it’s really the county that’s to blame, we don’t deserve a man like Obama

I can’t wait till November
 
obviously, he felt like he had to say what he needed to to win. he is very polarizing and frightening.

he won, so no more charades.

He is a marxist, a ideology uniformly and firmly condemned by the Church because of its secularism, collectivism and antipathy towards free markets and private property.
