More Americans feel Obama’s presidency divided the country than brought it together

[TalkRadio]

WASHINGTON (AP) — More Americans feel Barack Obama’s presidency divided the country than feel it brought people together, a new poll shows. Yet he leaves office held in high esteem by a solid majority.

Eight years after Obama’s historic election, just 27 percent see the U.S. as more united as a result of his presidency, according to an Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll conducted after the 2016 election. Far more — 44 percent — say it’s more divided.

Those figures underscore one of the key contradictions of Obama’s presidency. By and large, Americans like him. Yet, aside from the big “Obamacare” health care overhaul, he has been unable to translate that approval into congressional majorities to fulfill many of his goals.

“It’s one of the few regrets of my presidency — that the rancor and suspicion between the parties has gotten worse instead of better,” Obama said last January in his final State of the Union address.

one simple reason for that.

The Hate Right Good Old White Boys Club couldn't stand the fact that anything other than an old white man was elected.

Wait until a woman of color gets elected.

We only elected a black person so that we could have the pleasure of kicking him out. Ain't that right, Mitch?

Trump seems to be dividing the country, too.

Just six months after his inauguration, Americans already are split down the middle, 42%-42%, over whether President Trump should be removed from office, a new USA TODAY/iMediaEthics Poll finds.

They deserve him. The rest of us don't.

Why do they deserve him? A couple decades of full-out lying propaganda from their pet media so divorced them from reality that they hitched their wagon to a genuine sociopath continuing their custom of bullshit claims and impossible promises. And now he's officially tied Nazis and Klansmen to the GOP, the party of reactionary intolerance and corporatism. Nice job, Don.
