Chapter One is entitled “Republicans and Democrats.” In this chapter, Barack describes the current political climate. We have turned a blind eye towards the political process because of its dividing partisanship.
The Swift Boaters and other groups who choose to broadcast negative campaign ads are further digging that chasm which divides. The YouTube Hillary attack ad does not help our cause!
Barack writes (page 22):
“...what's troubling is the gap between the magnitude of our challenges and the smallness of our politics—the ease with which we are distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions, our seeming inability to build a working consensus to tackle any big problem.”
