When it comes to Obama's divisive behavior, I always remember the contrast between Obama and GW Bush, when responding to protests of their policies. I seem to remember that Bush's response to anti-war protests was something like, "I understand that some disagree with my decision on Iraq, and I respect their opinion. However, I had to make a difficult decision, and I feel this is the best course of action." Obama, during the American Spring of 2009, at first claimed he didn't know about the Tea Party protests, and then later characterized them as "a bunch of people wavin' tea-bags around."
