Who has been more divisive - Barack Obama or Republicans??

[kentuck]

We hear constantly that Barack Obama has been the most divisive President in history, primarily from Republicans.

But is it not the case that the Republican Party has criticized and opposed this President on every issue and at every turn? And haven't many Republicans resorted to name-calling and racial taunts against this President?

So, who has been the most divisive? In my opinion, the Republicans have done great harm to our country.

1. I Hope

Everyone here has the same answer

3. I agree.

But I thought it important to point out.

2. Republicans, from local to State to Federal. Hands down.

But I guess "Obama is being divisive" is code for "He's black so he can't expect us Whites to work with him - and so we won't, and that's his fault for being black".

4. Well said. It means that the black man does not want to do it our way.

7. That's been pretty much their modus operandi since President Obama's inauguration.

I had hoped that they wouldn't see it that way, but I can't deny any longer that this is exactly how they view this president. Should HRC win the presidency, they'll do the "We White men don't have to work with a woman, and that will be her fault - for being a woman". We'll get the same obstructionism that they've shown President Obama.

I know that Republicans really don't believe that any Democrat should win the White House. It's so ingrained in them that it's become part of their genetic makeup. But the unprecedented obstructionism I've noticed toward this president has broken any and all records of previous records. I believe they'll escalate their obstructionism should the next president be a woman.

8. Yes, I don't think Hillary would have it much easier than President Obama. They already have a war

on women. They will just continue it.

9. That's so true. It only underscores what sore-losers Republicans really are.

Like children prone to temper-tantrums. That's all good and well in their private lives, but they shouldn't be in positions of power where they have to actually pass legislation to make this country stronger and her people more secured. That's why it baffles me that they keep getting elected. Have their constituents forgotten why we even have a government?

12. They will do that no doubt but her ties to

Wall Street won't help the electorate either.

5. repugs...

but they work hard to make sure Obama gets the credit

[arthritisR_US]

11. They are both to blame six years in. nt

6. Republicans n/t

10. He hired Wall Street cronies to handle things right

from the get go. His AG came from a firm whose clients were Wall Street through and through and who heavily financed his campaign. Who has been prosecuted for their financial crimes? What did we expect when the highest office is bought and paid for by the monied?

Repukians thought because of who bought him (throw in the insurance industry also) that things would go swimmingly. His diversion off their path was a divisive left hook. Your Dino's don't help one bit either so if you want to talk of divisiveness then you have to take in the whole picture.
