Thanks... I think.

People are relating Obama to the government for some reason.
Both sides are dividing the nation.

Impeaching isn't going to happen for any president - not today. Again the too big to fail mindset of the past decades.

The average Joe etc calling the morning zoo usually hasn't got their arguments together or are not conveyed properly... time constraints of talk radio (or the host) won't allow it or they just want to put a voice to their frustrations...

Believing he didn't do anything to deserve the nobel peace prize, and the "He is a extreme socialists and is making rash decisions too quickly" are not mutually exclusive. But I got your point.

The fact is though, it goes both ways. The "get out of our way" theme from government recently is dividing the nation well too.
