For being a man who was envisioned as a uniter, both with international affairs and domestic social issues, President Obama has done quite a bit in his short stint on the national scene to isolate people.

It started, as best as I can recall, in April of 2008 when he called a female factory worker in Allentown, PA the derogatory term ‘Sweetie.’  Then again in May of 2008 he used the term ‘Sweetie’ when referring to female reporter Peggy Agar while trying to avoid her.  He said to her, “Hold on one second, sweetie.”  You can see the clip below:

He used this demeaning and dismissive term twice, during a time he was running against Hillary Clinton for the Democratic nominee.  So as he proved that America moved beyond its racial stereotypes by being our first black President, he himself, through his words, proved that sexism still exists.

President Obama called Peggy Agars and left an apologetic voicemail.

Next, in March of 2009, he insulted the disabled community.  During his interview on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” he said :

I bowled a 129 … it was like Special Olympics

You can see the video here:

After telling this “joke,” President Obama called the chairman of the Special Olympics and apologized.

On July 22nd, 2009, President Obama said the “Cambridge police acted stupidly” for arresting his friend Henry Louis Gates for disorderly conduct.  The President went on to imply that race was a factor in the arrest.

These comments not only divided the country as white versus black, but he also insulted our law enforcement personnel.

President Obama once again regretted his words. He later held a press conference to say the Officer is a “good man,” and subsequent to that he created the infamous “Beer Summit,” which he said could be a teachable moment.

To continue with his apologies, President Obama has apologized for America to Arab television (January, 2009), the United Nations (September, 2009), Turkish high school and college students (April, 2009), and elsewhere.  He has apologized for our “arrogance,” for defending ourselves, and our freedoms.

These apologies to other nations do nothing to unite the American people.  Instead, they dishonor those who have served our country and worked hard to make it the beacon of hope that it is today.

President Obama continues to build walls within our nation, instead of bringing us together for a common purpose.

President Obama:  Tear down these walls
