Yes he has definitely divided the country and the world for that matter. I think he will go down as the worst president in history. He has ruined our country. I am saying this and i'm not even a liberal.

Probably not.
Going backwards Bill Clinton was just as divisive, if not more so, considering the various scandals he was involved in - both public as well as private. Way too many to list. See Wikipedia for more.
Richard Nixon, although an extremely intelligent man, created his own divisions by; getting out of the V.N. war, not getting out soon enough, his foreign policies & ultimately Watergate.
Lyndon Johnson; escalating the V.N. war, his croniism & his weak "Great Society".
But, JFK & honest Abe are both probably more closely aligned to GW in their divisiveness than any other presidents. Both were considered traitors by their opposition - as Bush is by many today.
Both were fighting public sentiments against a war or involvement in a war as well as civil rights issues.
There are others to be sure, but I hope these quell the idea that he is the King-o-Division.
By the way I am not a Bush supporter.

you're merely getting your self right into a pissing contest. Time to enable bypass of the gangster mentality. both activities are operating as a crew to break the country. Whom ever comes after BHO, will proceed the ball rolling, a lifeless ringer for Bush continued Clinton's stride. stop being a lemming, and take a verify out to have an unique idea. there is the position the priority is, no human being thinks for themselves any extra.

Nixon and Bush are 2 of the most divisive Presidents I've seen in my lifetime. Also, 2 of the lowest approval ratings I can remember.

It's not fair. Although he isn't the most liked president, at least his becoming president didn't push the country into Civil War like Lincoln.

Lincoln was pretty divisive. Bush has shown resolve against an enemy that would exploit any signs of weakness. While I don't agree with many of his policies, I am glad that Gore or Kerry were not in the Presidency during this time.

Hardly. Think of Nixon.

No, it would have to be Abraham Lincoln. It really divided the nation and caused the deaths of over 600,000 Americans.

No I think that might have been Lincoln, to be honest, but Bush is probably in the top 5.

Fair. he uses religion to alienate and isolate people. He is the true "divider"
