How does this writer still have a job?  The American voter obviously had enough of Obama's divisive politics and weak approach to foreign policy that they rejected his hand picked predecessor for a blowhard with a Twitter account.  I don't recall the US being as divided as it is now.  So called 'progressives' just can't see past Obama's race and see him for the weak, divisive president he is.  The sad part is that the pendulum has now swung back the other way.  The opportunity to see people as just people instead of through their race, gender or ethnicity was squandered so that a few 'progressives' could pat themselves on their backs.
