Well,
He's offering a prescription plan to seniors (unifying)
and a path to citizenship for illegals (unifying)
But by doing so he's certainly pissed off the Dems (divisive).
Offering up the prospect of a Constitutional amendment to ban gay marriages (divisive) but it may just be a bargaining stance (I hope).
Then there's the whole France/Germany thing which he had no chance of influencing, so I'd say it's neither divisive or unifying.
He's trying to give the American people something to focus on long term in the Mars mission (unifying)
He's trying to give all the people of Iraq a voice in their government (unifying)
He wants to open up public lands to drilling/logging (divisive)
He is limiting participation in Iraq reconstruction (divisive for those who can't take part but unifying for those who can, so that's a wash)
Overall I'd have to say he's not particularly a uniter but I don't feel betrayed by it at all. He has a vision and he works towards it. If it conflicts with being a uniter he goes it alone. Basically exactly what a leader should do. Now that doesn't mean that his choices are all good, but that his actions are logical to achieve what he sees as being the "best" objective.
