My goodness, how different our perspectives can be.  First, indeed, the election of an African American President was devisive, or more correctly put, brought forth the divisiveness of racism which has lurked in the shadows.  Over the Obama Presidency we saw millions, yes millions, of racist posts attacking him.  We saw websites created just to host those racist rants......yes, indeed, that African American fellow Obama had the termidity to be elected President.  You say "shame on him."  May I disagree.  President Obama, at literally every step, worked to achieve consensus.  He would take two steps to the "righ" on issues seeking that consensus.  The GOP Congress, in turn, would take their two steps......further to the right.  To state President Obama was "unwilling to work with the other party" is silliness.  Study the history, read the statements of both McConnell and Bohner, watch the videos of their comments, and see that the very opposit was the case......Gary Crum
