The Obama States of America

He's a divider, not a uniter.

(Page 2 of 2)

The Illinois senator's comments feed into a growing narrative that includes his wife's remark that her husband's campaign represented the first time she had been proud of America and the Jeremiah "Goddamn America" Wright fiasco.

Obama has promised to be a transformational liberal leader, who has the potential to transcend partisan politics and cobble together a coalition not only to win an election, but also to advance a progressive agenda once elected.

The best bet Republicans have for beating Obama is to convince voters that beyond the lofty rhetoric and new packaging, he's just the same old liberal they've rejected for decades. Obama just made that job a whole lot easier.
