I'm sure that the author can figure out that the taxes the rich pay have no effect on where the jobs are added, since most jobs don't go to rich people. If it were to have an effect, it'd be the opposite to what the author implies. Taxing the rich more would allow the less rich to pay less, which would make it more affordable to hire in America, since it'd be possible to pay a little less and leave the worker with the same amount of income. However, the effect would be so small that only an incurable fanatic would make an issue out of it.

True, Obama has failed to unite us and that is nothing short of tragic. It would be nice if the author gave the reason for the failure, although she gave a clear example by writing the article, punctuated by its last sentence. The right wing hate machine and the Republican Party that has become the right wing's official mouthpiece have done everything they can to frustrate all the attempts he made, because, as the author, in a flash of honesty admits, the right wing sees a need for a divided America and will continue spreading their message of hate.
