President-elect Barack Obama has promised all along that his government would be an inclusive, not a divisive or partisan, one, and he's delivered on the promise by keeping George Bush's secretary of defence Robert Gates on his team.
But apparently there is no pleasing the sour-puss Republicans:
Hey, remember that campaign line Barack Obama used incessantly throughout the campaign — you know, the one deriding McCain as a Bush clone and mocking a McCain win as "four more years of Bush?"
You remember, right?
This is, of course, absolute nonsense, and Michelle should know better than to stoke an imaginary fire. With this kind of attitude, Republicans will continue to be far, far from power for more than two presidential terms. The Republican party is officially dead at this point, and only a complete rethink can revive it – and this will take time, a lot of time, but it can't hurt to start taking baby steps now. Michelle, however, just fell flat on her face with her blog post.
