I whole heartedly support the notion of the OP and really do hope that Obama proves me and the almost half of the country who voted against him wrong. However, I think it is a bit presumptuous to assume that all Republicans will just hop on the bandwagon and "get over it". Afterall, a huge part of the "mess" that Obama inherits is the political divisions that are still in this country. This mess is a direct result of the Dems who couldn't get over the 2000 election and have been making unfair allegations (yes, there were some fair ones as well) against Bush and Republicans for 8 long years. Those wounds will take time to heal and post like the above will not help that process.
