Letter to the Editor
Nancy Moore from Martinez wrote in her Nov. 13 letter to the editor, "President-elect Obama requires all of our support and non-partisanship during these days of so many complex issues facing our country."
This is a statement I have seen and heard in many forms in the recent days following the election.
I do not have a problem with this contention, but I do have a problem with this quote in light of all the disrespect President Bush received from both the media, and the liberal population alike.
Many liberals, I have found, can "dish it out," but get upset when the man they supported is now on the receiving end of such disrespect.
President Bush deserves all of the same support that Moore has requested for President-elect Obama. If liberals now believe that everyone should support Obama, and they are guilty of even one unsupportive comment towards President Bush, then they need not get upset when they hear unsupportive statements made towards President-elect Obama.
Many people now know how Bush supporters have felt for the majority of the last eight years.
