WHO'S POLARIZING?

Former GOP senator and wingnut Rick "Man on Dog" Santorum viciously attacks Pres. Obama:

The Elephant in the Room: Obama vs. United States
The president is contemptuous of American values.

and the "Architect" Karl Rove blames Obama for being polarizing:

Part of Mr. Obama's polarized standing can be attributed to a long-term trend. University of Missouri political scientist John Petrocik points out that since 1980, each successive first term president has had more polarized support than his predecessor with the exception of 1989, when George H.W. Bush enjoyed a modest improvement over Ronald Reagan's 1981 standing.

But rather than end or ameliorate that trend, Mr. Obama's actions and rhetoric have accelerated it. His campaign promised post-partisanship, but since taking office Mr. Obama has frozen Republicans out of the deliberative process, and his response to their suggestions has been a brusque dismissal that "I won."

Mr. Obama has hastened the decline of Republican support with petty attacks on his critics and predecessor.

The American people decisively rejected Rove, Santorum, Bush and Cheney and the polarization that remains is the result of the politics Rove himself practiced.
