I didn't vote because a President is a political figure, and as such is more of a slave to division rather than creating it.
Right now, you've got factions trying to divide the Republican Party. Since 2000, either the Christian right or the TP have been trying to cleanse the party of "RINOs" to the point that when moderates were nominated (McCain and Romney), they had to backtrack against their own records so hard you couldn't pin them down. Without this, Obama doesn't get elected, or at least not re-elected. All he's had to do is sit back and watch.
