Barack Obama will assume that just and rightful authority at noon on Tuesday. After a dinner with him that I attended last week, as we said our goodbyes, I overheard one of my fellow conservatives say softly to the president-elect, “Sir, I’ll be praying for you.” Obama seemed to pause as they shook hands, and to thank him more earnestly than he did those of us who simply — and sincerely — wished him well.

Also, there are many sides to the situation of Israel and Gaza, and just because Kristol agreed with Bush doesn't mean all Jews do. Many agree with Moyers on this issue and far more people rate Bush as one of the worse presidents and leaving the country in a total mess! How can he say Bush's most impressive achievement was winning the war in Iraq when we are still there fighting? Our troops not home? He seems delutional here! And stating that Bush keeps a schedule made me laugh out loud- what for, his vacations and times off?
