Who was the "Great Divider" trying to fool today?
WH transcript:

When I first came to Washington nearly six years ago, I was hopeful I could help change the tone here in the capital. As governor of Texas, I had successfully worked with both Democrats and Republicans to find common-sense solutions to the problems facing our state. While we made some progress on changing the tone, I'm disappointed we haven't made more. I'm confident that we can work together. I'm confident we can overcome the temptation to divide this country between red and blue. The issues before us are bigger than that and we are bigger than that. By putting this election and partisanship behind us, we can launch a new era of cooperation and make these next two years productive ones for the American people.


Bush campaign lawyer "Ben Ginsberg--of Florida recount and Swift Boat Veterans for Truth fame..."


Editorial

The Great Divider

Published: November 2, 2006

As President Bush throws himself into the final days of a particularly nasty campaign season, he’s settled into a familiar pattern of ugly behavior. Since he can’t defend the real world created by his policies and his decisions, Mr. Bush is inventing a fantasy world in which to campaign on phony issues against fake enemies.

'I'm confident we can overcome the temptation to divide this country between red and blue. The issues before us are bigger than that and we are bigger than that.'

But apparently, not big enough to overshadow your presidency, because it's only for 'these next two years'.

What a poser, who's writing his scripts?
