WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama says he has not succeeded in bringing the country together, acknowledging an atmosphere of divisiveness that has washed away the lofty national feeling surrounding his inauguration a year ago.
"That's what's been lost this year ... that whole sense of changing how Washington works," Obama said in an interview with People magazine.
The president said his second-year agenda will be refocused on uniting the country around common values, "whether we're Democrats or Republicans."
"We all want work that's satisfying, pays the bills and gives children a better future and security," Obama said in the interview, which the magazine conducted with the president and his wife, Michelle Obama, at the White House last Friday.
The president's comments came as Republican leaders rallied against the core items of his agenda, from his economic stimulus plan to health care. The mood of the country has remained in a sustained slump, too, as double-digit unemployment followed a campaign built upon "hope" and "change."

More election promises. As soon as the November elections are over he will forget all about “unity.”
“I can’t even stand to look at him or hear his nonstop lying anymore.
I will pray for his evil reign to be over before it is too late.”
I totally agree. Every time I see his face on the news stand, I turn away reflexively in disgust.
I will add my prayers to yours.
Your "lofty national feeling" was a sorry, media-created illusion.
I think you misplaced "sorry", Izz. No apology was needed to state a fact.
I turn the magazines over and mumble something obscene. The more people see me, the happier I am.
I think he gets a B+ on turning us into a socialist/fascist state.
He ended “it.”
Remember the stimulus talks that included Republicans? His bipartisan input was:
“I won.”
That he expected any cooperation after that proves what an inexperienced ass he is.
Evil is the correct term for It and that party of scoundrels and jeckyls. As someone who loves history and reading about and visiting historical sites it pains me to believe this country is mortally wounded by these enemies within.
Another B+ ? I’d just settle for his real grades,,, release the transcripts Barry.
“The president said his second-year agenda will be refocused on uniting the country around common values, “whether we’re Democrats or Republicans.”
You and I don’t have any common values, scumbag.
“No president from either party can ‘bring the country together’, it’s completely divided.”
Considering that the demonrats are the party of infanticide and sodomy, I consider that to be a good thing.
They more they are despised, the better.
