I think you have ended up with an even more divided nation.
Divided chiefly along the lines of race.....95% of Afro Americans supported President Obama (coincidence?)
Also diveded on political and social lines. there has to be plenty of compromise.....on both sides, if anything is to be achieved, tho' i feel the biggest problem will turn out to be racial tensions.
Mr Obama is beginning to be perceived as a "black" for a "brown" nation.
