He campaigned on "unity" yet Obama's 61% partisan gap is the greatest in polling history:

+10From his campaign to his lack of knowledge in World affairs, he forced America to divide on the race issue, terrorist issues and working class issues. He is steam rolling over this country turning things upside down, printing money that will have no value and imposing his minority beliefs on the country without regard to the majority being against it. To me, he is the most dangerous elected official we have ever had- I will never call him my president until he starts acting presidental..
When you can't even articulate a position you look like a moron.
He is but a mere puppet with short strings. The European leaders saw this and shot down his spending right away, why didn't our Reps. and Senators?
More puppeteering!

Yes, apparently so. There are at least several major ideological differences that almost mutually exclude each other, politically and socially.
DAS says: "Obama is magnifying our differences with his arrogant approach."
That statement is the direct result of one of those major ideological differences.
There are numerous important issues that most Americans would "unite" around for the good of society.
While we will never reach total agreement on abortion - most Americans support keeping it legal with several limits - parental consent, late-term, etc.
While we will never agree totally on environmental policy - most Americans are in favor of expanding current sources while investing in emerging technologies.
While we will never agree totally on health care - most Americans do not want Govt. control but improvements to the current private system.
Most Americans want us to close our borders to illegal immigration but favor immigration of people that will be productive members of society.
So my saying Obama is magnifying our differences with his "we won screw you" approach makes me an idealogue!?
No. You make a very good point about common interest and compromise solutions that may not seem perfect to either side, but are acceptable to address a problem that demands a practical solution now rather than any particular ideology's ideal solution later, maybe much later or never.
But our polarizing ideological differences make that common middle ground more and more uncomfortable and volatile (the extremes are much more coherent and comfortable), and therefore your suggestion itself is extremely difficult because of _our_ ideological differences and those of our representatives in Congress. President Obama has a part in all this, but not a very defining part in my opinion.
So what kind of loser am I?
ONE NATION
UNDER GOD
INDIVISIBLE
WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL
REMEMBER WHERE YOU ARE OBAMA!
The guy is a Teleprompter Puppet! Worse ... he isn't an American ,,, he's Kenyan!
Someone like Obama who thinks "Austrian" is a language is not smart enough to figure out complicated world politics. He probably also thinks Austrians are from Austrailia too. LOL
He is attempting to achieve some notable accomplishments though, in such a short amount of time, as moron-in-chief. Like bankrupting the nation and initiating class warfare.
