The Unity Hangover

One of the biggest positives of the Obama election is that there does not seem to be that, "We won, in your face!" mentality coming from the America Left. Instead there seems to be a lot of optimism for cooperation and... dare I say it.... unity. We got McCain giving arguably his best speech since his campaign began when he conceded the race to Mr. Obama, we have President Bush offering to help make the transition a smooth one when he was not welcomed into office by the Clintons but instead had to have a week of repairs to the White House to replace equipment and furnishings that were damaged, vandalized or conspicuously missing and we haven't heard boastful words from Speaker Pelosi. I am convinced this is what I am calling a Unity Hangover. President-elect Obama made so many references to unity in the weeks leading up to the election and in his eloquent acceptance speech that no one wants to be the guy that cast the first stone. Or maybe everyone is holding their breath and ducking so they don't get caught in poop storm the new President is about to step into. President Bush is going to stay under his desk for the next 75 days praying there isn't another terrorist attack while he is in office and can escape with the feeling he kept the country safe after 9/11. No small task to be sure.

Sadly however, they are out there, biding their time and biting their tongues. The ones with rocks and asprin ready to put and end to this Unity Hangover and treat us to a bit of the "hair of the dog" partisain politics we are used to.
