Chocolate Ration Raised Once More

AP: Obama breaks from Bush, avoids divisive stands.

Right.

• His inaugural address wasn't bitchy at all.
• Rescinding Mexico City was no big deal. And neither was approving embryonic stem cell research. 'Cause no one much cares about abortion one way or another.
• And it's no big whoop whether or not Gitmo closes and all those terrorists move here.
• And the White House press pool is just delighted.
• And the new guy's so polite.
  

Don't get me wrong, divisive isn't necessarily bad in a leader, and I have no problem with his telling GOP leaders, "I won." Very reminiscent of Bush's "I have political capital and I'm going to use it." If you take a firm stand, people are going to disagree and the only way not to divide people is to have no positions or to be so murky about what they are that people can't oppose you. But let's not talk smack.
