(Reuters) - Former President Barack Obama, back on the campaign trail on Thursday for the first time since he left the White House, called on voters to reject a growing “politics of division” that he said was corroding American democracy.

Without mentioning Republican President Donald Trump by name, Obama told campaign rallies in New Jersey and Virginia that voters could send a powerful message about the type of politics they want by backing Democrats in Nov. 7 elections in the two states.

“What we can’t have is the same old politics of division that we have seen so many times before, that dates back centuries,” Obama told a cheering crowd in Newark, New Jersey, that chanted: “Four more years.”

Obama was a master of race division and he accomplished this along with the rest of the Democrats through the racial intimidation of whites.

So obama and bush think that if we don’t agree with them and the establishment, then we are dividing the nation? If we don’t let them destroy our country, then we are dividing the nation? If we choose to vote in someone who is not of them.. then we are dividing?.. just whom are we dividing? the chaff from the wheat... the commies from the constitutional government we have lived under for a long time.... the spineless from the fighters .... giving away our country to whomever, from we who have not given up on America... the anti Trumpers from the solid voting force for Trump... those who need a room to protect themselves from us who are strong enough to withstand being called ‘racist’ and not crumbling apart at the seams... that word has grown old and worn out.. not working on us here...

God protect America from those who would see it be torn apart with their goals of riots and lies... God save America from the left/libs who have no idea what they are about!

More liberal hypocrisy. He was the most divisive president in modern history. Blacks faired much worse under his presidency. we’re all still paying for it too.
