Is there a leader/politcian that can unite this country?

No. The biggest division between the left and right is whether we should hold the Constitution as the law of the land, or whether it should be considered a quaint old document that has no bearing on us today.\n\nAnd that division is all about what is considered freedom and liberty, and the role of government in our lives. Sometimes there is common ground, but mostly there is not. You have to fall on one side or the other.\n\nThe biggest cause of the divide between people is that previously, both parties covered a full political range - from conservative to liberal. Today, liberals have consolodated into the Democrat party, and conservatives to the Republican party. This creates division - deep division. \n\nIf you look at history with an unjaundiced eye, you would see very little difference in the politics of GW Bush and JFK (the real one). But Democrats today would consider JFK to be reactionary - to be pushed aside as out of the mainstream, like Lieberman is.\n\nAnd this divide is being increasedby the politicians' hateful rhetoric. Both sides are guilty, but most of the hateful, spiteful, malicious, lying and disgusting speech has been coming from the Democrats of late. The civility is non-existant.\n\nIn conclusion, nobody is going to heal these rifts because we can no longer find enough common ground. We cannot agree on what the Constitution means, we cannot agree on what the goals of our country should be. And politicians and people who wish to bridge the divide will be crushed by the extremes.

Yeah right. I really need someone like Susan Sarandon, Oprah, or Sean Penn to be in charge of foreign policy making decisions.  You are confusing opinions (which everyone has) with Political Science (which is very complex and difficult to master). ANYONE can act - not everyone has what it takes to be a leader. (Timothy Dalton for example - I could have played James Bond better than him!)

They probably should form an organizationlike the EU, but the reality is their economies aren't developed enough to do so.  They also suffer from a long history of corruption.  In a perfect world, it would make a lot of sense.

not all countries have a President so your question is moot.

I'm sure the country is great.  It needs some new leaders.

I'd say it is highly unlikely. You would need the 16 component nations to join together. You would need them all to have Communist Governments and for all their leaders to perceive their interests as being best reflected in a new Federation. Thirdly, you would need Russia to be a great power and I don't foresee that happening for a whole range of reasons.

Yes, how can we be a country of the people if the people don't talk.  I might not agree with others but they should vote to make sure the people's will is being followed.  I like to think I am in the majority, but I do conceed I might not be.

Why not??  If they can SPLIT, then there's no reason you can't have two organize themselves into one.\nOur current major parties were once all part of the same party called the "Democratic-Republicans".

Go to the link below.  The only one missing is the United States, the leader of which at present (unfortunately) is George Bush.

There has to be some way to form a coalition group made of people representing both "white" society, and natives. With a good effort and a lot of luck (maybe even some good prayers) something has to be found.

so all the countries could come together and be more united. that equals peace

How what works, the world? I doubt it although they may have united to become the EU there is no sense of common history or common cause. I don't see too much cooperation in the EU.

I personally do not see how.  How one can feel that we will be fine as a nation.  We are so divided.  We have a president distroying our country, not just economically, but internationally our rep has gone down the tubes.  When our next election comes I hope we elect someone who can fix the f-ups he has made.

we will have 2 nations if 2 presidents are elected to office at the same time. The political force will be separated and there will be another civil war if the animosity between the 2 parties goes too far.

Hopefully at that point some US states will break away.  If not, i would suggest a less socialist country.  Maybe one with very few people.  The more people there are, the more government becomes oppressive and paternalistic.  New Zealand might be a good option.  But they may take immigration seriously.  And then we're screwed.

I agree but I doubt that many of out countries leaders would today. Indeed, there seems to be many who actively seek to disenfranchise those who disagree by stating that people who disagree with a politician aid the enemy by their dissent. It seems abhorrent to believe I have to follow the illogical statements of such leaders today or be considered anti-American and serves to drive a wedge in society if you are not the right religion, the right color, have the right beliefs, or have to support a cause you disagree with. I think Thomas Jefferson was right, and is perhaps still right, but you will be disenfranchised and risk being accused of being anti-American today if you do not choose blindly to follow.

Eh we'll always be bi-partisan.  It would be nice if they would quit backstabbing, but then again that is what keeps our country in check.  One belief/power/party cannot have all the power and have everything their way.
