lol...I wish TV would bring back some of the old cinematography cheese. Nothing says "romance" like a lens smeared with vasoline.

This is a great example of how you start off a powder puff piece.

yeah, but having to cite a poll each and every time you say "most" gets tedious after a while...

...at some point you have to assume it's common knowledge that Obama enjoys the majority of popular support.

The guy on the left was gay, and the chick on the right was likely a fling of the shows creator. Nichelle was HOT. Can't blame ol' Gene for that one. :toast

This is a great example of a non sequitur that completely avoids addressing anything in the article.

WTF is your point?

My point was that the opening paragraph didn't make me want to read on.

Still waiting for Jacob to quantify the division.

I dont need to read another post beyond the OP.

One word:

No.

America *IS* divided. Obama is attempting to bring disparate sides together around common interests, something Bush did not even try to do.

But America is divided. Neither Obama or Bush is responsible for how divided we are, and only we can come together.

The primary divisions are not racial, but economic and religious. The differences between the haves and the have-nots in this country are stark. As are the differences between those who want this country to operate like a theocracy, and those who want us to retain the secular, pluralistic identity that has sustained us for hundreds of years.

Then skip ahead to the next bit, Mr. Confirmation Bias:

Plenty, according to some people

It was simply a neutral take on American reaction to the new president, not exactly a "puff piece" on the administration, and quite relevant in its analysis to the thread topic.

I find it rather revealing that you seem to imply that you won't read any article that might say something good about the administration. Well, maybe not really revealing, but certainly sadly stereotypical.

I'm not gonna answer because I already gave an answer. You just didn't like it. You didn't like it because your blinded by Obama. Some people are so loyal and blinded by their political party and ideologies that they can't see the truth.

another one of micca's sock puppets muttering to itself, probably.

cf. FaithInOne and hope4dopes.

Hell yes he is dividing our country. He says he is open to "prosecuting Bush administration officials who devised the legal authority for gruesome terror-suspect interrogations, saying the United States lost "our moral bearings" with use of the tactics."

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You seem easily excited. The last time I checked a poll about it, the majority of Americans considered waterboarding torture and thought America shouldn't practice it.

I seem easily excited. :lol Well I am not.

So you seem okay with prosecuting the former administration?

Oh, I get it...the more Jacob1983 and jack sommerset's views are relegated to the minority of popular opinion, the more "divided" America becomes.
