View Full Version : Obama has no hope to fix fractured America

As he climbed the political heap, a young Barack Obama roused audiences with promises to unite the nation. He was a Senate candidate in 2004 when he told the Democratic national convention, “There is not a liberal America and a conservative America. There is a United States of America.”
In 2007, he declared early in his presidential run that “I don’t want to pit red America against blue America. I want to be the president of the United States of America.”
A year later, after he won the Iowa caucus, he promised, “We are not a collection of red states and blue states. We are the United States of America.”
And on the November night in 2008 when he was elected president, he insisted his victory proved “we have never been just a collection of individuals or a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and always will be, the United States of America.”
Oh, well, that was then. Reading those “yes we can” speeches now is like gawking at museum relics. Obama’s promise to heal a polarized nation has proven to be as big a lie as his promise that you can keep your health insurance.
America is now so divided and demoralized that there is no hope Obama can fix it. As last week proved, he doesn’t even pretend to try any more.
On the same day that he supported his party’s move to neuter Republican power in the Senate by restricting the filibuster, 37 news organizations complained that the White House was acting like the ­Soviet Union in manipulating public opinion.
Journalists argued that Obama aides block news photographers from official events, then use government workers to take pictures and videos of him for social-media sites.
“This is just like Tass,” a New York Times photographer told his paper, referring to the Soviet propaganda arm. “It’s like government-controlled use of the public image of the president.”
Meanwhile, Obama met with a gaggle of far-left pundits to drum up support as he battles record-low polls.

Well, it's just easier for her to paste a partisan cookie-cutter response than to read a topic and contribute meaningfully in the discussion that follows.

No problem for her to get 9,000+ posts in 8 months when not a single one of them has a moment of thought.

And it is not passed in fact? but in the propaganda of the left wing? They all know where the blame is to be placed, but they will do anything to keep the agenda alive!

Did the right really break everything on its own? :wink:

Come on, let's not pretend the Right doesn't do that as well.

Lets be fair here and recognize that this isn't only an Obama or Democrat problem. Congress is a fucking mess and the Republicans are as much to blame as anyone else for the division in the United States. There is a reason why so many people are turning to third parties or deciding to become staunch independents - both parties and all leaders involved are a bunch of lying bureaucrats with nothing better to do then play chicken with one another on the government dole.

President Obama is doing exactly what he planned on doing, just slower than he planned.
