Is it really necessary to fall to the level of the Bush-haters? Come on,
give the guy a chance! Show some class!

He is OUR president, not THEIR President. He deserves our support. I
don't care WHO is in that office, he or she can't do it alone. The only
way anybody in that office can be at all effective is if the American
people support him - from all sides of the political spectrum. I didn't
vote for Obama, and I disagree with several of the things he advocates,
but he WILL have my support until there is a GOOD reason for me to
withdraw it.

The Bush-haters didn't give Bush a chance, right from the get-go. The
Clinton-haters didn't give HIM a chance, either. If you ask me, that's a
large part of the reason we are in the mess were in. Political debate is
a good thing, but when it deteriorates into the division we've seen for
the last 20 years, it becomes a cancer that will eventually destroy us.
It needs to be stopped.

Lincoln has been quoted often of late, but he needs to be quoted once
mo "United we stand, divided we fall." It's well past time to
remember that.
