He won't be another George Bush.

I'm amused by Republicans who point out that, hey, they lost the presidential election, but still garnered 48 percent of the votes. Which means, I guess, that John McCain finished only 6 million votes or so behind Barack Obama. In other words, there's still a heck of a lot of Americans who'd rather have McCain in the White House. The implication, of course, is that Republicans shouldn't be disenfranchised. I agree. And so does Obama, I gather. After all, he said he wants to be president for all Americans, even those who didn't vote for him. I like that attitude. It's an indication that Obama wants to bring a divided America together. Something we didn't have under the George Bush administration. Fact of the matter is that Bush didn't even have a majority of the popular vote when he was elected the first time. Al Gore did. Bush told us he was going to be a uniter, not a divider. Now we know that Bush was lying. He became one of the most partisan presidents we ever had. He seldom worked with the other side. He called himself the decider. And went his merry way. If Obama were vindictive -- well, he'd give Bush and his Republican cronies a taste of their own medicine. But I'm convinced that Obama is a decent human being. He'll do the right thing. He won't be another George Bush. --Jim Broede
