It's Official! Obama IS The Most Polarizing President!

I think Obama would make an excellent President if he had a divided Congress. I disagree with much of his ideology, but if he had to work harder (with both parties) to muddle through domestic policy, he could be pretty damn good even in my books. Pretty damn good as big lobbyist loving Presidents go, that is...
 
I found this line very amusing:

This country has been divided over cultural issues since at least 1973 and Roe v. Wade. It has been divided on fiscal issues since Reagan cut taxes in 1981; this ended the hidden tax of bracket creep, but meant that legislators had to make hard choices between more spending and lower taxes. It has been divided on foreign policy issues since the Bush Administration's response to 9/11.

Has...the author not studied our history prior to 1973? I think we had divisive issues on all of those fronts prior to those incidents....

It seems to me your theory will likely be put to the test after November.

Depends on how circular is the conservatives' firing line.

Let's put it this way. If the repubs do not make significant gains (i.e. at least 30 total seats) in November, with the economy the way it is, and with the relatively unpopular healthcare bill, then it will be the biggest political debacle in the history of the republican party.
