Very Flirtatious, but Doubts What Love Is.
It goes both ways. Absolutely no effort was made by the Obama Administration to work together with both sides of the aisle so to speak and unite this country. In fact, it could be pretty easily argued that this previous Administrations policies and agendas divided this country quite significantly.
I'm a pretty big Obama critic, for a variety of reasons, but that's entirely untrue. In 2008, Obama largely ran on the reconciliation a quasi-outsider could provide to a nation reeling from the divisions of Bush's second term—on actually being that "uniter, not divider" Bush had promised to be—and he spent a lot of the first half of his first term trying pretty desperately to work "across the aisle" and with Republicans, sometimes to the detriment of his agenda and his constituency. You can attribute blame for that failure of rapprochement to his administration, or to an utterly recalcitrant opposition, or to both*, but the initial effort was certainly there.
*(Pro-tip: it's always both.)
