From yearlyKos

I'm here at yearlyKos in Las Vegas. It's interesting and there's been a number of good discussions that have gone on.

But at the MetaKos panel, Hunter made an interesting comment which I want to make note of.

He noted that something which is unique about Bush is that he acts as The Republican President, as opposed to the American President. This is a fairly new phenomena in recent politics. He noted that even Reagan understood that he was President to the entire country, and addressed issues that way. Bush on the other hand, goes solely for the divisive stuff knowing and understanding the whole time that he's aiming for only a small portion of the country.

Just interesting. I actually think if you look at history, it's a return to the 19th century of politics. A terribly unfortunate thing, but it's reality and while we lament it, maybe we need to learn how to deal with it.
