Charles Krauthammer on Obama: Divider in chief

Charles Krauthammer  "Hispanics, however, are just the beginning. The entire Obama campaign is a slice-and-dice operation, pandering to one group after another, particularly those that elected Obama in 2008 — blacks, Hispanics, women, young people — and for whom the thrill is now gone.
"What to do? Try fear. Create division, stir resentment, by whatever means necessary — bogus court challenges, dead-end Senate bills and a forest of straw men."
...."There is a problem, however. It makes a mockery of Obama’s pose as the great transcender, uniter, healer of divisions. This is the man who sprang from nowhere with that thrilling 2004 convention speech declaring that there is “not a black America and white America and Latino America and Asian America; there’s the United States of America.”
"That was then. Today, we are just sects with quarrels — to be exploited for political advantage. And Obama is just the man to fulfill Al Gore’s famous mistranslation of our national motto: Out of one, many."
Question: Wouldn't a Cartoon of Obama being called CAPTAIN DIVIDER be funny?...

Voted best answer: "No. Humor is based on the truth. The truth is that Obama has been going out of his way to be a uniter and find bipartisan solutions to our problems. Republicans and conservative spin doctors are the dividers because they refuse to cooperate with their political opponent and prefer to engage in baseless Obama-bashing instead."
