"Divider not uniter, no hopey changey" = greater racial tension in the US today than there has been for a long time, greater political tension in the US today than there has been for a long time (civil-war-ish feeling on the horizon), mild abuse of presidential power.
Civil war feeling? No. Are you saying Obama has done things to raise racial tension? What things?
I think he has made many inopportune and unnecessary public comments certainly (in the UK we call it "sticking your oar in" :) ), but actually I'm thinking more of the degree to which the police seem to have gotten more and more out of control under his watch. Trust in the police has gone down, particularly among blacks, which is partly fair, but also partly unfair, since their job is getting harder, what with the economic decline. (And re. the economics, I think there's a bigger picture, and a much bigger crash probably coming,
unless the world can somehow regain confidence in US - after all, the debt mountain is only serviceable because of trust and belief in the US, so long as the trust is there, the Ponzi scheme can probably continue as long as technology keeps on improving. But one can't help pining for what could have been, if the US and world economy were run on sound economic principles, instead of everyone getting deeper and deeper into debt and hidden inflation to pay for crony capitalism, vote buying,etc.)
I am disappointed you people still think royalty is a good idea.
Ouch, low blow :)

Not personally and not greatly in absolute terms, but by comparison with Bernie and Hilary, they're younger men, they are charismatic, and they are smart.
But lets' not get too much into the weeds re. politics right now, I'm more interested in all the drama lama around SJW-ing, venomism, etc.
