Abraham Lincoln was the president. He gave a speech on June 16, 1858 at a Republican Convention. Lincoln was commenting on a Supreme Court decision (the Dred Scot decision) which Lincoln feared would permit slavery to become established in all states. The speech he gave became known as the "House Divided Speech." (The quote: "If a house be divided against itself, that house cannot stand" is from the Bible, see Mark 3:25).

Lincoln, referring to the divisions in the country during the Civil War. But . . . what leaped to mind reading your question was the "Seinfeld" scene where George is explaining why Susan hanging out with Elaine will make his worlds collide. "A George divided against itself cannot stand, Jerry!"

Obama is doing a great job failing without any help from the Republicans It is actually Obama who has been turning groups of Americans against each other but that's what community organizers do. Maybe next time we should elect someone who will be a President and not a community organizer

"We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break the bonds of our affection."
