Take us back to those glorious days in early January, 2001, where President Bush decided to sooth the wounds of the hard-fought election by extending an olive branch to the surly Democrats, only to have them spit in his face. I must have been in a coma then, or something.
The sad thing is that even with the way that Bush governed for to that point, the country was ready to come together in the aftermath of September 11. But Bush squandered that opportunity and instead used the "war on terror" for partisan ends, most notably by using the Department of Homeland Security as a tool in the midterm elections.
