This is the most divided I have ever felt the county has been during my lifetime. The poeple and government seem more divided now then they were under Bush Jr, Clinton, Bush Sr, Reagan or Carter (I was alive during the Ford administration, but was too young to remember). I think one of the key characteristics of a great leader is the ability to bring people together, and I think Obama has done just the opposite. Obama is certainly not the entire problem, but his actions don't seem to indicate that he really knows how to gain any bipartisan support. Thoughts?
