Democrats and Republicans Come Together to Defend President

Every once in a while the media reports on national politicians ignoring their differences and coming to each other's aid. For a short time, I feel there is no left wing-right wing battle, and that maybe our government is more grown up than I thought.

A couple of days ago when Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, came to New York and attacked our commander in chief by referring to him as the devil, democrats stood up and said enough. Much like an older brother coming to the aid of his pip-squeak brother, and telling the other neighborhood kids that "No one picks on my baby brother but me!"

I'm a liberal democrat through and through, but when some jack ass from the outside comes in and denounces our President, its just uncalled for. Unlike many liberals, I hate only Bush's agenda, I don't hate Bush himself. That's just too ignorant for my taste.

When D-New York representative Charles Rangel said" You don't come into my country; you don't come into my congressional district and you don't condemn my president,"shows that maybe the media has it wrong. Maybe the national government is not as divided as we are made to believe, I would like to think this is the case. I don't know what it is, but seeing politicians drop their battle axes and come together is very refreshing from what we are used to seeing on CNN and Fox news (Cable news is garbage).

We may fight about abortion and gay rights, but at the end of the day its just good to know that we all live in America.
