No, I am not ashamed...
I can understand why people voted the way they did, and, Kerry supporter that I was before the election, the President's speech today said this:
"...Reaching these goals will require the broad support of Americans. So today I want to speak to every person who voted for my opponent: To make this nation stronger and better I will need your support, and I will work to earn it. I will do all I can do to deserve your trust. A new term is a new opportunity to reach out to the whole nation. We have one country, one Constitution and one future that binds us. And when we come together and work together, there is no limit to the greatness of America....."
-George W. Bush
A second chance is something I value, and hope that people will give me one if I need it. If the President wants to work to deserve my trust, I will give him the benefit of the doubt and look forward to term two as a new start. It's the least I can do, I think.
