Here's a story in which the headline caught my eye.

Poll: Foreign policy no longer Obama strong point

When was it ever his strong point?
When does he have a strong point period?

Unless you count keeping the country divided. Then that would count as his strong point.
No, that would be Rupert Murdoch's business model.

So Obama is doing a great job on uniting the country?

It's not Obamas job to unify the GOP. Whoever is responsible for that is failing miserably as their refusal to work is hurting the country on a daily basis.

Right, the President of the United States of America should always keep the people divided and separated, to achieve his agenda!

How exactly do you appeal to the type of people who would blame him for something like a pregnant woman having trouble getting to the hospital? More importantly, why would anyone want to?

President's don't unite countries, events do. Not sure it's Obama's job to overcome two million years of tribal evolution in a two-term presidency. The best any President can do right now is help bucket out the water the Ship of America is taking on fast.

All things considered, he's doing a better job than the competition was entirely capable of doing in the best of circumstances. And because this is Politics, I don't have to prove a claim, you have to disprove my claim.

Oh look, Rep. Steve King is saying they will consider impeachment if Obama attempts to fix the border crisis that the House ignored. I thought Boehner said they weren't even considering impeachment and it was a ploy spun up by the Dems? Should we blame Obama for this division as well? Or should we keep laughing at the GOP? Yeah, option 2 it is.

No deflection. There's a subset of the population that is completely irrational and cannot be reasoned with. No amount of playing nicey-nicey will do anything to appeal to people who are dead-set on disagreeing no matter what.

It's not the President's job to some great uniter nor was it ever. It's a stupid talking point and nothing more.

I very well know what it means, but apparently neither of you do, and he was just trying to use a word in a sentence to make him sound smarter than we all know him to be.

The irony in what you just said is epic. Only because I happen to have several Operator's Licenses, but not in the way you mean to use the word.

Well, at least you're capable of admitting you're unaware of the actual meaning. That's a start at least.

The hypocrisy in you first statement is amazing. As for your mistake ... really? You people would eat me for lunch if I did that. /sigh Also, didn't this guy actually run on claiming to be some great uniter? Lastly, please PLEASE give me an example of Obama playing nicey-nicey with the republican party. I need a good LOL...

I blame the Wright Brothers.

Should have invented better airline food when they took off on the idea of traversing the skies.

But you're fine with the hypocrisy, theology-as-law topic-deflecting tactics of the Right? I've always believed the Left and Right are really only six equally stupid opinions away from each other, but maybe I was being too generous.

Nope, but the left is by far the biggest culprit.

The mayor of Toledo, Ohio, says new tests show that toxins are still in the city's water supply.

The readings come two days after 400,000 people in northwestern Ohio and southeastern Michigan were told to avoid drinking tap water.

Mayor D. Michael Collins said early Monday that most of the results were acceptable but some concerns remain.

Toledo officials issued the water warning in Ohio's fourth-largest city early Saturday after tests revealed the presence of a toxin likely from algae on Lake Erie.

The Ohio National Guard and other state agencies have been delivering pallets of bottled water to city and operating water purification systems to make more drinkable water.

Toledo mayor: Water ban lifted in northwest Ohio; drinking water for 400K residents is safe.

The question is do you drink the water now because the government says it's safe?
