Alabama Congressman says that President Obama is "the most racially divisive President" since slavery. Say what?

Courtesy of Mediaite:

Brooks discussed the president’s State of the Union speech on The Dale Jackson Show yesterday, where he said without a hint of irony that it was rich to hear the most “racially divisive” president in the last 150 years bemoan divides between political parties. 

“There probably has not been a more racially divisive, economically divisive president in the White House since we had presidents who supported slavery,” Brooks said. While he conceded that Obama couldn’t be considered the worst ever when compared to presidents who tolerated African American enslavement, Brooks went on to declare that Obama was definitely the worst since the Civil War ended in 1865. 

Host Dale Jackson later remarked how racial tensions have become an increasingly sensitive sociopolitical point in past years; Brooks responded that it was part of Obama and Democrats’ goal to sharpen the divides between various groups and compensate for policy weakness.

Do you believe that people spout this garbage? 

You know the reason why these idiots think that the President is racially divisive?

Because the minute the first black president was sworn into office, hell before he was even elected, the racists from all over came swarming out of the woodwork to complain bitterly that "their country" was being taken away from them.

All the President had to do to earn their scorn, was to exist.

And by the way does anybody else look at a picture of Congressman Mo Brooks and think it looks like he just then pulled off a white hood?
