I respect President Obama, and I think he is well intentioned. But I disagree with him. Am I allowed that? Or does that make me a 'birther'?
He ran as someone who would unite us. And certainly he met with Republican resistance. Big surprise to him, it couldn't be. I don't see that he did much to unite us.
Uniting actually requires compromise, and Obama has not compromised. Obamacare [[bless him) and changing filibuster rules were don unilaterally and in what may come back to bite Dems.
Obama set a high standard for himself saying he would unite, and instead he ramming things through brutally. At this point again the Dem say it was because Repubs were stubborn and wouldn't help. Sure, that's true. And that's the world he said he'd unite.
As to Snyder.... I don't agree that he's not liked. He just ain't anything special to a lot of them. He did grant Michigan citizens the freedom of associate via granting a right to work even if you don't want to join a union -- but when he could he actually was a Uniter. And that's not what the public on either side seems to have been seeking.
