President Barack Obama stands accused by conservatives of waging class warfare, seeking to galvanize his base and lure middle-class voters by pitting the rich against everyone else.
But Obama’s reelection strategy is about more than the haves and have-nots. It appears he is seeking to stir up full-blown cultural warfare against a large and diverse segment of society known as Republicans.
Having failed to lower the unemployment rate to a politically tolerable level, Obama cannot run as most presidential candidates do — on the economy. So he and his advisers seem to have decided instead to mount a deeply polarizing campaign based on “values” — suggesting his vision for America is correct even if the economy is not right yet.
But in waging this battle, Obama is saying nasty and dangerous things. He is promoting his own principles — not just by touting their goodness, but by suggesting that Republicans hold to an offensive, even un-American, philosophy.
By painting his opposition as not just wrong but evil, Obama risks dividing the nation in a profound and unnecessary way.

It’s what Kenyan Kommunists do.
That has ALWAYS been his objective..Ref: Alinsky, Cloward-Piven, Marx, Castro, Che, Mao, etc:
Democrats are just reaching across the asile ... and grabbing Republicans by the throat.
“By painting his opposition as not just wrong but evil, Obama risks dividing the nation in a profound and unnecessary way.”

Word has it that his Whitehouse cronies are working with the OWS movement.

Either this Keith fellow is the resident conservative (didn't know Politico had one?),or he's off his meds, or even the Politico is getting scared of this guy?
No Democrats aren’t sick of him. The majority are still guzzling the Koolaid and carrying water for him.
I cannot believe he even still has a chance to remain in office. But I think he actually has a chance to be re-elected. He has 99% of of the media soundly in his pocket. We know who the majority of them voted for. They don’t even try to pretend or hide it anymore. They in turn dutifully report little more than propaganda 24/7. They have effectively taken control of the thought and conversation away from Republicans and conservatives.
Why we can’t get strong conservative candidate to stand up to the media and the Reid&Pelosi’s in the world? And give em back as good as they throw. Instead we’ve got Republicans & conservatives who really resemble a possum or a rabbit caught in the headlights of an oncoming car- the poor critters just freeze or play dead then get flattened by the drive by media. It’s pitiful.
You would think as bad as this economy is and as horrible a leader as Obama is ANYBODY would have no trouble running Obama out of the WH but it’s still anybody’s election -go figure.
"Risks"??? Hey, Koffler, we've got news for you! The man has been the most virulent divider the nation has ever seen. It's in his blood and genes from his youth and days "organizing." It's all he knows and he simply can't stop doing it.
None of this is News to Most people posting here,WE ALL PREDICTED THIS and any person that took the time to Read about this Marxist Past INCLUDING his own Freakin Book Dreams From My Father,would have known What this Pig is all about, Enough of these Johnny Come Latelys trying to explain what we all Knew long ago.
Yep. Reading the comments over there, this went over like a fart in church.
In 2008, I quoted things from his book, and quotes from his associates (Van Jones) to my lib relatives,
and they figuratively put their hands over their ears.
They wouldn’t even acknowledge the quotes were from him or Jones.
Sounds like My family,My sister and her husband Life Long democrats,No convincing them
