Obama's Love/Hate Relationship with America

There are two reasons as to why Obama should bow down to Americans:

1.) to reach across the aisle and try to appease Republicans.

2.) to continue to please his liberal base.

Instead, however, Obama chose to the king of Saudi Arabia as he continued his European tour acting as America's "Apologizer-in-Chief." I have many problems with Obama, but at this moment my biggest problem is that he doesn't have a spine and that he tries to please everyone he comes in contact with.

If Obama is so eager to apologize for America in Europe, why can't he be just as excited to make amends with the Republican base? Shouldn't Republicans be more important to Obama than Europeans? After all, Obama is the president of the United States of America, not Europe. He should attempt to please his constituents before tackling the rest of the world.

This all seems very obvious, but Obama seems content with this love/hate relationship that he has with America. Everything he has done since the start of his presidency - from bashing Rush Limbaugh to sending a video message to Iran - has been polarizing.

In fact, new surveys released by the Pew Research Center say that Obama is the most polarizing president since the surveys began tracking this information 40 years ago. According to the Pew Research Center, the difference with Obama's approval rating between Democrats and Republicans is 61 percentage points. To put this in perspective, former-President George W. Bush's approval gap between the parties was 10 percentage points smaller, despite the fact that his election was contested by Al Gore and the liberal base.

I still remember Obama promising "post-partisanship" during the campaign, but he continues to pass legislation as quickly as he can without giving the GOP a chance to let their voice be heard. Sure the GOP is screaming against everything that Obama is trying to do, but the mainstream media as well as Obama's administration is continuing their leftist smear against the Republican party.

Even an action as simple as bowing to the king of Saudi Arabia has caused a divide within Americans. Republicans view Obama's bow as attrocious. Bowing to a king is something that the king's servants and people lesser than him do, not his peers, and as President of the United States Obama is certainly a peer.

Democrats, however, try to defend Obama by saying that Obama never bowed - that what he did was a curtsy. How ridiculous! First, Obama and his cult following want to control our money and how we spend it. Now they want to control what we think we're seeing!

What's worse is that this love/hate relationship is going to continue, especially as liberals continue to wage their propagandist war against Republicans. The GOP has a lot to do before they are seen as constructive by the public instead of as a party that simply wants Obama to "fail," though we would rather see his Communist-like policies fail than succeed.

The GOP is doing the right thing to fix this love/hate relationship between Republicans and Democrats, between Obama and America by continuously trying to explain its ideals and principles to the American people. But before Americans takes Republicans seriously, the GOP must continue to make these strides by not just talking - like Obama does - but by standing by their principles when they take action on the issues.

Although Republicans have a long way to go before they are no longer seemed as a polarizing force, Obama has an even longer way to go.

This is best summarized by Michael Gerson's quote in the April 10, 2009, edition of the Washington Post, "Who has been the most polarizing new president of recent times? Richard Nixon? Ronald Reagan? George W. Bush? No, that honor belongs to Barack Obama...Obama has been a unifier, of sorts. He has united Democrats and united Republicans - against each other."
