Whether items that are measurable and tangible; or more
subjective issues such as policies that have effect on individual liberties,
such as religious liberties, freedom of expression, etc. – if you simply
review the transcripts of his speeches since taking office… our President is demonstrably
the most divisive leader our country has had in our generation. He is certainly
one of the most divisive Presidents in our nation’s history.
President Obama is a total failure in nearly every
measurable way.
