We’re all Americans, even with differences

Now that the election is over it’s time for us to reunite. Weather you are a Republican or Democrat, we are all Americans. It is time to get behind your president, after all he is the president of all of us. Now that the dirty business of politicking is over and all the slanted ads, weather it be the Swift Boat veterans or Moveon.org or the likes of Michael Moore, it’s time to reunite and get on with the business of the people.

We will always have our differences, but we are still all Americans and we live in the greatest country in the world. It can be even better if we join hands. Let’s hope that four years from now we don’t have to go through another bitter political battle like this one.
