WELL, the election has come and gone, and we have our first African-American president. The entire country - if not the world - has been whipped into a frenzy of hope and enthusiasm. A combination of money and the media pushed a man into office we hardly know. You'll excuse me if I don't share in the excitement.
--snip-- So intense that people who supported the president were embarrassed to say so.
We skulked around like common criminals, keeping silent when we should have spoken up, while the country did everything it could to undermine the presidency. Well, it's time to put things into perspective

I was sick of him a year ago.
“WELL, the election has come and gone, and we have our first African-American president.”
Not so fast. He is not even “president elect” yet.
Of course, this letter drew out three snarling moonbats.
Probably just the members of the editorial board.
The comments section in the referenced article are representative of the frothing moonbat population. I’ll give Obama the same courtesy they gave Pres. Bush.
mr. obama is the figurehead on the front of the ship that’s being captained by mr. imanuel and his friends.
IMHO
Whatever happens will be an extremely open test of affirmative action since Obama and his wife are products of affirmative action.
The left has poisoned the well and salted the earth. This cannot be undone.
That sick feeling comes from reading the comments posted at Philly.com. Sometimes I think that Bush was despised solely for his Texan accent. I am totally befuddled as to the hatred directed at this man.
I was particularly amused by the “honeymoon period” comment - obviously the author is too young (or too old) to remember the screaming about “selected, not elected” even before the inauguration.
your --snip-- is in relation to LBJSo intense that people who supported the president were embarrassed to say so.
JUST TO CLEARIFY: to people who don't read the article
I don’t think Obama has to worry about the “O” keys being pried off all the office computers.
Few today, even those who support him, will admit to any good G.W. Bush has done and are only be able to focus on their personal litany of things they don't like.
I'm not saying he didn't earn his criticism, but it is helpful for me to remember who ran against him and the horror their presidencies might have been.
Bush isn't a conservative, but he sure as hell isn't Algore or Kerry and for that I have been, and will remain, thankful. The next 4 years should do much to reinforce my sometimes reluctant appreciation for these last 8 years.
Says it all, an excellent contribution.
There’s an old saying “be careful what you wish for, you might just get it.”
America has just got it.
“The entire country - if not the world - has been whipped into a frenzy of hope and enthusiasm. “
I fear the incoming president, his plans and the future of our country.
In the end we will be a socialist country. China’s people are starting to revolt against communism and a bunch of idiots just elected a communist to run our country.
This only ends up bad.
Our last free election was 2004, we’ll never have another unless ACORN is prosecuted and O’s fundraising is too.
All working people will become slaves to the collective.
“the entire country-if not the world-has been whipped into a frenzy of hope and enthusiasm.”
more like a mass psychosis. (they’re probably going to prove he’s the messiah by saying he changed the world.)
what a bunch of macaroons.
IMHO
Yes, I have repeatedly ask for a list of what Bush has done to deserve the hatred and to date have not received one.
I don’t think GWB hung the moon but the comments following the article at the target site simply prove the writer’s point: kneejerk juvenile name-calling.
They can’t argue with the no-attacks-since-9/11. They can’t deny that Iraq has been won. When’s the last time you saw a form letter to the editor declaring “we’re involved in a civil war and we can’t win”?
Forget dates, times and places for a moment. The moral of the story is that the left demands total and unconditional hatred and anyone who dissents will be attacked by a mob.
