Examiner Editorial: Obama true to form as the 'Great Divider'

"We've got to break the habit of negotiating through crisis over and over again," President Obama declared during his press conference Monday on the coming debt limit fight.

Obama would like to lay all the blame on Republicans for the harsh and divisive tone in Washington during his presidency. But judging by his first term, Obama deserves a lion's share of the blame. It almost seems that Obama needs a massive crisis before he'll even reach out to the opposing party.

At his press conference on Monday, Obama said he won't even negotiate with Republicans over the raising of the debt limit. Having divided America during the presidential campaign with contentious and irrelevant social issues ("the war on women") and rhetoric of resentment against the wealthy, "The Great Divider" is governing according to form.
