President Obama's divisiveness

President Obama gave a tremendous speech at the 2004 Democrat National Convention, during which he referred to the need for America to move past the divided politics of "red states" and "blue states."  But since he began running for president, he has acted with as much polarizing partisanship as any politician in American history.

He has referred to his political opponents as "enemies."

He says that Republicans are waging a war on women (but he never sympathized with Condoleezza Rice, Ann Romney, Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, or any of the countless other Republican women who have been maligned mercilessly by the Left).

Accusing Republicans of a war on women is especially hypocritical in light of Democrat campaign messages that hardly recognize the dignity of women.

President Obama has also railed against the "one percent" of top income earners. (FYI--I'm not a one-percenter, but I wouldn't mind joining the club!)

He's told us not to go to Las Vegas (even though Nevada's unemployment is among the highest in the nation).

He's beaten up on corporate jet owners (even though the construction, sales, operation, and maintenance of those jets creates jobs).

He's warned us about fat-cat bankers (even though he has employed many of them in his administration).

Of course, President Obama's favorite target is Republicans -- and understandably so.

But he and his Vice President have improperly touched on racial politics along the way:

Further, for him to blame Republicans for his lack of accomplishments is to ignore the fact that he has had a Democrat-controlled Senate for his entire presidency, a Democrat-controlled House of Representatives for his first two years as President, and super-majorities in both houses of Congress for much of those first two years.
