This has been the most divisive president in American history. He has repeatedly told conservative opposition that he will not "tolerate" their continuing and disagreeable rhetoric. He will not "tolerate" such conduct. What the heck does that mean, "not tolerate?" Tough guy talk that is meaningless or had better be.
He is the first to use the word "liar" in the disagreements with his opposition; the first to govern as president without consulting or working with the opposition party in any way. Besides being the first half-black president, he is the first angry black president. His reference to the GOP riding in the back of the bus, and THAT was the reference he had in mind, is proof of his antagonist attitude. This is coming from a black man who has never suffered life in the same way his black followers have. He has been "privileged" throughout his life. While others were fighting the worst kinds of discrimination, he was "doing" blow and marijuana according to his own admission. No one has ever looked to answer the question as to whether or not he is or was addicted to cocaine. Was he only a user? Did this episode -- assuming it is over -- last a few months or a few years. Who sold him these illegal drugs? Lots of unanswered questions. All of them would be "proper" if the president were Republican.
And when it is all said and done, we still have an angry black guy in our White House. There is absolutely no one of consequence who believes that Obama will become bi-partisan after November 2. We think part of his problem is this: he has never faced opposition that he could not overcome . . . . . . . . . never. Now, he is in the major leagues. Everyone is a star. And his organized community is not the only game in town. You have Limbaugh with his 23 million. Hannity with his 15 million. There is Palin with her untold millions. Then, there is the TEA Party with its 30 million. Let's not forget the 25 million who are dyed in the wool Republicans.
He is the worst thing to happen to the Democrat party in this editor's lifetime. In spite of the competition as described above, he has no one to blame but himself.
Understand that in January of this year (2010), knowing of the exceptionally high degree of opposition to all that he and his tyrannical rule had "accomplished," Obama compared the 1994 Democrat congressional debacle with these words, "Well, the big difference here and in ’94 was you’ve got me." Like we have said, he has never had to deal with the kind of opposition that stands before his, now.
The difference between '94 and now IS BARACK OBAMA. That is a fact, but not to the ends he intended.
