The "division" in the country is caused by the fact that Bush doesn't need the Democrats to implement polcy. At first he tried to work with them (working with Kennedy on the education bill etc) but when they got to demanding for their way, he could just ignore them because of the Republican control of congress. Everytime they took a hard line negotiating position, he drew an end run around them and worked without their cooperation. When they realized their powerlessness (and like any insecure person who doesn't feel they are getting respect) they got really nasty. The nastier they got they less he worked with them, and he could get away with it because he didn't need them.
For them to blame Bush for the divide is really ripe. It was like the Democrats critisizing Bush I for raising taxes, when they are the ones that forced him into doing it.
