“He [Mr. Obama] was not my first choice for president, but when he won I thought it was good for the United States of America. I was deeply touched and I was deeply moved when I saw African Americans on TV weeping and saying, ‘I never thought it was possible,'” he said.

“I want the President to succeed,” Mr. Bush added, “I love my country more than politics.”

He continued: “I'm not going to spend my time criticizing him. There are plenty of critics in the arena.”

“He deserves my silence and if he wants my help he can pick up the phone and call me,” he said.

That was the right thing to say. Good for him.

Will Obama pick up the phone? 

I don't think it's a label applied to a political party, I think it's the direction one group of people is taking the country.  Will the politicians listen to the post election words of the public?  The grass roots organizers?
