In 2004 Barak Obama united the world with a wonderful speech at the Democratic Convention.  I watched live at that time and thought this man is going to be president one day.  The following are excerpts from his speech....
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal... that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That is the true genius of America. Now even as we speak, there are those who are preparing to divide us, the spin masters and negative ad peddlers who embrace the politics of anything goes. Well, I say to them tonight, there's not a liberal America and a conservative America; there's the United States of America. There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America... the pundits like to slice and dice our country into red states and blue States: red states for Republicans, blue States for Democrats. But I've got news for them, too. We worship an awesome God in the blue states, and we don't like federal agents poking around our libraries in the red states."
Who is dividing us, now?  Who peddles negativity? Who is embracing the politics of anything goes in this election?
Ever since his election victory President Obama has divided rich and poor with his policies and his rhetoric.... “We can either settle for a country where a shrinking number of people do really well, while a growing number of Americans barely get by,” the president warned, “or we can restore an economy where everyone gets a fair shot and everyone does their fair share.”  According to a earnings chart @ the Heritage Foundation (http://www.heritage.org/federalbudget/top10-percent-income-earners) the top 10% of earners pay 71% of federal income taxes. I'm OK with rich people being in our society. They pay most of the taxes and reminds me that there still is the opportunity to be rich. He has divided black and white over the course of his presidency. The issue with Henry Gates the professor @ Harvard, who refused to show his I.D. when police found him breaking into his own house because he was locked out.  Obama made a flippant statement about how the "police acted stupidly" without even knowing all of the facts.  He stated later he "regretted" his comment.  His justice department refused to press charges against the New Black Panthers in a case where they obviously, intimidated voters coming to a polling station, choosing to narrow charges in one account and dismissing the other.  On April 26, 2010 in a web video he called out blacks and Hispanics to vote for him. What happened to the "There's not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there's the United States of America.." sentiment?  Recently, he fueled a made-up "war against women" campaign started by George Stephanopoulos in January, by inappropriately calling a 30 year old women, perfectly capable of taking care of herself and her birth control, apologizing for stupid comments made by another man.  Why is our president making these kind of phone calls anyway?  Syria, Iran, Iraq, Afghanistan, a national debt of almost 16 trillion and our president is making a phone call to a woman about getting her feelings hurt. A divisive action.  Pitting women against each other, the church and men. Very sad.  Now today.  He is on a bribery tour heading to NC, Iowa and Colorado trying to get college students to vote for him by telling them that the big, bad republicans are going to increase the interest rate on the student loans they hold, when in reality it was the democrats that voted in 2007 to allow the rate increase to take place this year.  I want to believe that women, students, Hispanics and blacks are not so easily duped.  Please, think for yourselves and don't be sucked in by political rhetoric.
