Obama's words unite or divide?

Obama came to the White House promising to change the way things were done. He would bridge differences, calm the waters on both sides of the political isle. Remember that? In order to make for his extreme views on many issues, as well as his unbelievably thin resume, he would change the way things operated.

As we all know now, this isn't happening. Even the liberal media smells blood in this realm. They have attacked his administration pretty well over these past 6 months for doing something he said would never happen if he were entrusted with the presidency.

To be certain, Bush said he'd try the same thing 8 years earlier. Nonetheless, the media didn't believe his words and didn't have to eat crow the way they are doing so now.

A few examples- When Obama labels the GOP as "hostage takers" on the tax debate, that's demeaning. When he says the GOP can sit in the back on policy issues before the midterms, that's degrading language. When he says the GOP's "holy grail" is getting tax breaks for the rich, that's not telling the truth. Yet he finds a way to contually spew this hateful language across the political isle.

Instead, why doesn't he say: "The GOP has a different vision for excellerating our economy that me and my liberal friends. Nonetheless, we will try to get the best bill possible for the American people." Wouldn't that be more in line with the promises he made in 2007-2008?

By the way, Obama and his liberal minnions still refuse to say these tax breaks for the "rich" include basically all of the people who will inject money into our economy. Read: new hiring, purchases, investments, and the like.
