I'm told that the national political ship is at last righted [or lefted], and we all anxiously await a flood of important national things to come from the mind, persuasion and persistance of President Obama.
Almost all Republicans that I know wish him well at the onset of his journey, knowing full well that his plans will often be sidetracked, incomplete, or incompetently excuted. We hope that the outcome of his efforts don't errode our individual liberties, increase the size of our government, or dig deeply into our earnings. We are highly skeptical of course, but we know how difficult his new job is and that as Americans he is our President now. He deserves our support.
This is in stark opposition to the lack of good will that GW was afforded. In addition to immediate political criticism after the 2000 election, withering personal attacks about his intellect and personality began immediately as well. He has shown remarkable restraint over the years. His goodwill towards the incoming administration has been remarkable.
I simply want to see some goodwill expressed towards Bush in his closing days as President.
