Seems to me Obama is our most polarizing president ever. Speaking in general the people that work for a living hate him and the people that live off of governmemt hand outs love him.

Yes.
And No.

We've had a lot of polarization during other presidential terms, but it was always created from the people.
This time, it is the president himself who constantly chooses words that create divide.

Right or wrong, when Dubya muttered his "us or them" speech, the bad guy was the over seas boogey man.
Obama uses the terms "them" or "they" when referring to law abiding American citizens.

He was, but lately people are uniting in their dislike of Obama.

I dunno. Ok, I'll give ya the ape- like Lincoln w/props to his successor Johnson. Then Obama followed by Nixon.
Honorable mention to a slew of others such as Carter, corrupt Harding, Hoover, FDR, and too many others overlooked by ravages of time or pc history books which hate them all except for the latest.

You may not like it but it is hard to argue that close to 365,000 dead americans is pretty hard to top. All we have now is a cluster-F of the first order that pales in comparison. The civil war was a watershed moment in American history that still impacts america today.

I feel like the title of this thread should have been:
"Is Obama the most polarizing president? Or is he the most polarizing president, EVER!!?!?!" Dun-dun-dunnnnnnn

Then don't fill up so much. For Millard's sake, stop when satisfied.

Regardless of presidents. We are living in extremely polarized times. You have news channels like football teams, the left side news channel, such as MSNBC is strictly for Obama. Fox is strictly against him. We are deliberately being polarized because there is more money at the politics game than the NFL. Which is also a good example of polarization.
