"I've heard President-elect Obama call for a spirit of unity. Sorry. It's not going to happen. For years Democrats castigated President Bush mercilessly. The election has validated their campaign of vituperation. Republicans have learned the lesson. We will now give the new president the same treatment.
The values of 401(k)s and houses had better increase, but not inflation or joblessness. There had better be no domestic disturbances or terrorist attacks on our shores. Osama bin Laden must be caught or killed. We must win the war in Afghanistan. No excuses. Otherwise, we will call Obama a liar, an incompetent, evil and stupid and impugn his motives. So please, Democrats, no lectures. You had your chance to practice bipartisanship. You didn't."
