So much for being a uniter not a divider

The Messiah promised to be a uniter. He promised to reach out to all of us. He was going to abandon the hard edged partisanship the he said characterized the Bush administration. He was going to bring us out together.

So, lets see how that is working out. This poll tells the answer - not very well.

Take a quick look at the results.


Basically, The Messiah is presiding over the most polarized presidency in history! Should one be surprised? I think not. Consider:

• The House has COMPLETELY ignored any Republican input into any recent legislation. Just what they used to complain about when they were the minority
  
• BHO is quoted as having said basically: We won, they lost. Nice way to bridge the gap.
  
• He is pursuing very devisive issues: Fetal Stem Cell research, Working overturn all abortion laws - setting aside ALL state abortion laws
  
• Pushing thru a budget that is a Liberal's wet dream. It is completely horrifying to most Republicans and all Conservatives. No middle ground here.
  
• Pursuing more bailouts without regard to any opposing viewpoints.
  

So, speaking as a Conservative, it is perfectly predictable that he is so polarizing. And this will not change until he changes both this course and his tone. Don't hold your breath.

This is all a big lead-in to the 2010 House race. The Tea Parties on the 15th of April are the start. I look forward to a HUGE sea change in 2010 - up to and including the Republicans taking back the House.

Will this matter to The One? I doubt it. He is a hard-cored Statist. Maximizing the role of the Fed is his goal. I don't think he will let the fact that he is polarizing stand in his way. Because, remember: He won, we lost --- Deal with it.
