The political rhetoric always gets bad before an election. [/quote]
The political rhetoric spewed by the right-wing noise machine has been non-stop since before Obama even took office. Rush Limbaugh hilariously called the recession The “Obama recession” in November (or December) of 2008, before Obama even took office. The rw noise machine has been saying Obama hates America for 7 years. They’ve been saying he’s a Muslim, a Kenyan, a socialist, etc. for 7 continuous years. This rhetoric has nothing to do with the election.

He hasn’t been all that effective at bringing the country together. It’s much more divided now than it was when he was elected.[/quote]
And you honestly think that’s his fault? When the republicans have been more interested in stopping anything he does than in doing their part in governing, and when the right-wing noise machine has been brainwashing millions of people into thinking Obama hates America?
