Pres. Obama is right. It is wrong for a President to use divisive language, such as: 1. Call all opponents of same-sex marriage bigots 2. Call the Pro-Life movement a "War on Women" 3. Call all immigration enforcement advocates racists 4. Call the GOP the enemy of Hispanics
How about when he made a joke about former First Lady
Nancy Reagan conducting seances?
Barack Obama on people left behind by new economy: “And it’s not surprising then they get bitter,they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
Barack Obama justifying ignoring constitution limits on the power of President: “Middle-class families can’t wait for Republicans in Congress to do stuff. So sue me.”
Barack Obama in a Univision interview calling on Hispanics to vote against GOP “enemies”: “If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us...”
Barack Obama at a speech at American University accused those who opposed #IranDeal of making common cause with those in Iran who chant “Death to America”.

I only knew @SenJohnMcCain from TV before I was elected in 2010. The man I came to know personally was someone who made a deep impact on me. It wasn’t the issues that left a mark,we agreed on many but disagreed on more than a few. It was the three things. 1/5
First, his energy & work ethic. He could grind long hours for days on end. An overseas trip with @SenJohnMcCain started at 6am & ended at midnight. And if he found any open time on the itinerary he would add some new meeting or unexpected side visit. 2/5
Second,his stubborn sense of justice. When he saw something unjust or unfair,nothing stood in the way of speaking his mind & nothing could get him to back down. He was oblivious to politics or public pressure when it came to right & wrong. 3/5
