and obama is the most divisive? based on what? many presidents have entered office without earning a sizable majority. for many, they barely squeaked into office, or it took bargaining.. it's not a recent, new thing going on.
go check out jefferson vs burr, john q adams vs clay and jackson. there are plenty of historical facts out there that would probably help you gain perspective.

Danzig, I never defended George Bush, he was a big government, big spending President, exactly what I am against.

In modern times, name another President who has purposely tried to divide the public like Obama? It is even worse because Obama ran as someone who could unite the people and he has done just the opposite.

bushes famed quote of 'you're either with us or against us' demonstrates a divide.
i think reagan was the last president to actually enjoy a clear majority vote in his second election-quite often the country is divided on many things. it's why i said to go read your history. even in modern times there have been clear divisions on a variety of things.

and is obama divisive? sure, you kinda have to be. did you see the article i linked to the other day, where black church leaders are telling their congregants to stay home on election day? obama divided his own supporters with coming out in favor of gay marriage.
there are plenty of examples i could give on every president. it comes with the territory. you can't please everyone, so you just have to do your best. i doubt any of them make decisions just to see who they can piss off.
