Enough Said...

Just about the time you begin to think that politicians really don’t get it…

(CNN)—The party attacks will be set aside Thursday, as Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain plan to make a joint visit to Ground Zero in honor of the seventh anniversary of the September 11th attacks.

“All of us came together on 9/11 - not as Democrats or Republicans – but as Americans. In smoke-filled corridors and on the steps of the Capitol; at blood banks and at vigils - we were united as one American family," Obama and McCain said in a joint statement Saturday.

"On Thursday, we will put aside politics and come together to renew that unity, to honor the memory of each and every American who died, and to grieve with the families and friends who lost loved ones. We will also give thanks for the firefighters, police, and emergency responders who set a heroic example of selfless service, and for the men and women who serve today in defense of the freedom and security that came under attack in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania."

And this, kids, is what those loonies who think they can bring down a country by flying airliners into skyscrapers don’t get….

We really are a family in this country.

A family made up of, among millions of others, brothers Barack and Joe and John and sister Sarah doing their best to knock the other out of their place in the line to move into the Oval….but who wont hesitate for a second to stop the rumble and, in an instant, stand together to kick the butts of anybody who threatens the family.

Obviously, the fanatics don’t know their history.

We put aside our family squabble to kick the crap out of England a couple hundred years ago.

And we liked them.

Yes, this IS a great country or what.
