There is not a single thing he can do to bring this country back together. His mere fact he was elected was enough to make a strong, STRONG chunk of this country so insane with rage that they willingly elected a man that at would have trouble being voted in as chief county dog catcher.
The only way I could possibly see something working is if Obama walked out of the White House to a full gathering of the press and explain how we as a country, and a world, blew it and there there are number of asteroids that would be arriving "shortly". Then he and his family fly the hell away surrounded by a host of angels. Then and only then would there be a 3.33% chance people would believe what he said enough to toss aside the stupid hate.
