Here is an Obama-blast of the first kind. A big bucket of paranoia, a pinch of fear, a whole lot of racism and a shower of very ugly, sometimes moronic, often hate filled comments. Is it my imagination, or is it the right wing that has a tendency for invective when it comes to politics.

This country is more divided than I can remember in the more than 30 years that I have been here.

And that, I also believe, was sparked and fanned by the lack of leadership and vision of our miserable administration of the past eight years.
