Barack Obama presides over an America more divided than at any time in 50 years. A country that was riven back then along racial lines gathered itself in 2008 to elect its first black president. That president has spent four years dividing the country on the basis of economic status. The campaign revealed no evidence that Mr. Obama will close the chasm he has created between his voters and those he attacked and vilified.
It may be true that Mitt Romney failed to respond adequately to the $100 million advertising assault the Obama campaign waged on his years at Bain Capital and in private equity. Maybe a response would have turned some voters. But could it overcome the four-year assault waged not by campaign surrogates, but by the president himself, on bankers, Wall Street, the oil companies after the Gulf spill, insurance companies and the "millionaires" whose family income starts at $250,000?
