Obama believes that one important way we can maintain and increase a national identity, where citizens view themselves as Americans first, rather than members of a particular tribe (like our political party, or race, or gender) is by sharing stories with each other. The more we can do that, the more we'll see each other as fellow humans, rather than as caricatures representing some other tribe.

If what’s happening to the economy now is because of “division”, we want more of it!!

Getting along with socialist and Cultural Marxist, rather than eagerly seeking their defeat, should have never been considered.
The only tragedy about McCarthy is how the Left used him to wrap a layer of protection around the very people who needed weeding out.

So he’s finally telling us to get behind Trump?
How about being OK with conservatives in the “driver’s seat” as a bonus?

Says the one who sees everything through the prism of ethnicity.
However, he is correct up to a point. We cannot survive as divided as we are. A day of reckoning is coming.

Ok Obama - why dont you come to our side then instead of demanding we always go to yours?
Who said elections have consequences?
Who said they run to the Bible and their guns?

Just another sign that the Dems are scared you-know-whatless about the signs pointing to a red wave in November.
To: dynachrome
Wasn’t that his plan? So strange to be suddenly concerned about the country. Very odd.

is by sharing stories with each other.And of course, whites will have to "check their privilege" and be forced to listen to stories of how we're a bunch of racists, and how the founding of this country is illegitimate. Sorry, BO, those days are done.

The economy will be fine. Strong divisions sell lots of t-shirts and hats. The country... we’ll see.

Stop attempting to over throw a sitting president. Even most sensible dems can see the outright treason from Obama Hillary et al.

Obama was the British subject that the Uniparty used to undermine the protections of the natural born citizen requirement.
John McCain was the Designated Loser used to ensure that it happened.
Children of foreign nationals are precisely who the founders were excluding.
