Obama warns: if America stays so divided, our democracy and economy won’t survive

Obama believes that one important way we can maintain and increase a national identity, where citizens view themselves as Americans first, rather than members of a particular tribe (like our political party, or race, or gender) is by sharing stories with each other. The more we can do that, the more we'll see each other as fellow humans, rather than as caricatures representing some other tribe.

[dynachrome]

This from a socialist who has spent his career dividing the nation.

[Morpheus2009]

Yeah, well he encouraged division.

[Truth29]

The headline reads like an Obama dream. He fantasizes about destroying the Great Satan.

[notaliberal]

That’s what that POS worked on for eight years

[Cowboy Bob]

LOL. The economy is getting better primarily because Obama in no longer president.

[originalbuckeye]

Says the ‘Divider-in-Chief’!

The Kenyanesian Usurper did more to divide America with his Alinsky tactics than any single person in history.

[Richard Axtell]

If division is so bad, why did you do it?

[Pollard]

fubo

“He fantasizes about destroying the Great Satan”

Naw! He’s after his job.

[DarthVader]

Yes and he caused it. That is why we must destroy all things Obama and not leave a trace.

[DoodleDawg]

We were divided long before Obama became president and we’ll be divided long after Trump leaves office.

[Sooth2222]

Obama hit the ground running in his efforts to divide the nation. “Bitter clingers” (April 2008), the police officers “acted stupidly” (July 2009), etc. etc. etc. etc.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Says the community agitator who made a career of dividing people into tribes and pitting them against one another.

[InterceptPoint]

Sayeth the Great Divider.

Give me a break.

[Rapscallion]

Obama came to wreck America. He has not finished his evil work.

[Walrus]

Who is this “Obama” person and why is he being quoted? Did he used to be somebody?

[SERKIT]

First, I though he liked to divide and categorize people (everyone needs to be hyphenated).

Secondly, the pent-up angst he is displaying will be harnessed, I'm sure, in his new found career in storytelling at NETFLIX. But them again, his whole life has been sealed-up fiction.

[Starboard]

He had eight years to unite the country but did just the opposite.
