Obama: America is not as divided as some suggest

WARSAW, Poland (AP) -- President Barack Obama on Saturday rejected the notion that this week's stunning violence is a signal that the U.S. has returned to some of the darkest days of its past, saying that as painful as the killings of police and black men were, "America is not as divided as some have suggested."

"Americans of all races and all backgrounds are rightly outraged by the inexcusable attacks on police, whether it's in Dallas or anyplace else," Obama said from Warsaw, Poland, where he attended a NATO summit.

"That includes protesters. It includes family members who have grave concerns about police conduct and they've said that this is unacceptable," Obama added. "There's no division there."

I have to agree with Imam Obama, America isn't as divided as some people think.  Since he has taken office, it more divided them some people think - including him. :peeonobama:

Obama has no problem saying all sorts of contradictory things.  It is the way of the postmoderns.  He embracse contradiction because it makes lies so much easier.  Obama will say whatever he feels he needs to say to serve his purpose at the moment.  He will say it oh so calmly.  I wonder if he isn't a borderline personality.

You could cross his name out and put in Hillary and you would have the same thing.

You would be hard-pressed to find anyone who has expended more words and energy trying to divide the American people by race, class and religious affiliation than Barack Hussein Obama.

Truer words....

...divide the American people by race, class and religious affiliation...

That was true before Obama was elected and it'll be true long after he leaves office.

That punk-assed mac daddy has done everything he can to foment resentment, hatred, and division between any possible groups based on age, race, religion, national origin, sexual preferences, eating habits, geography, and a host of other things I can't think of at the moment. He has given criminals a pass while accusing the innocent of the most vile, fed the parasites while carving off chunks of what should have been the prosperity of the productive and done all he can to eliminate that prosperity. In one way, though, he has been a unifying influence. I think a significant number of Americans have little good to say about him.
In the meantime, race relations in America are the worst they have been since the 60s.
