Obama the Great Divider

In one of life's delicious ironies, the President, who campaigned as the Great Uniter, is worsening the split between the right and left and losing support in the process. Ordinary Americans, typically apolitical, are choosing sides -- and more are choosing the side of freedom every day. Lovers of liberty should rejoice.

Division gets a bum rap. Imagine for a minute if Mr. Obama were able to unite Americans behind his radical agenda. We wouldn't just have bank bailouts and auto industry takeovers and a pork-laden stimulus, but, in short order, we'd have Cap and Trade and healthcare reform, Obama-style. We'd have Card Check and a new Fairness

I’ll repeat what I have written elsewhere . . . it will be the Radical Left, the Progressives, who cause 0bama’s Administration to fail and him to fall from ‘grace.’

He’s got himself in the middle of two bookends. Radical Progressives on the left and Constitutional Conservatives on the right. Conservatives don’t fight dirty . . . but Radical Liberals/Progressives do. The bigger the Conservative base, the more frantic and radical the Liberal/Progressive base. At some point, the Radicals on the left will act out . . . all over . . . 0bama.
