WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US
This is pretty good.
In debt drama, voters play key, if overlooked role
In some clear, straightforward language we get to see that we are the source of the problem when it comes to divisive politics.
I agree with this. I think that Obama offered a meeting ground but people misunderstood him. The left saw a final solution to all their grievances and the right demonized him. Then they elected Reps and Senators who stood in for these extreme views.
He has governed as a centrist because it was/is the only way to manage now and so he is pissing off both extremes. And the extremes aren't the fringe any more. The fringe is center or Independents who, actually, did elect him.
And so on.
It is a pretty good article.
