Earlier this month, when President Obama refused to deal with Republicans on the debt ceiling crisis, we took the opportunity to note that he has been the most polarizing and divisive president at least in modern history — the “Great Divider.” Through his circumvention of Congress to make illegal recess appointments, a re-election campaign based on phony and contentious issues such as the “War on Women” and his poisonous rhetoric aimed at America’s job creators, Obama has worked hard to divide America along the lines of party, class, religion and sex, even as his liberal defenders in the mainstream media have worked to divide it along the lines of race.

As a result, America is as divided as ever.
