My uncle, a self proclaimed "traditional" conservative, said essentially the same thing to be on Sunday. I must say that I appreciate cautious optimism coming from centrists and conservatives in response to President Obama. Your willingness to be open to the possibility that he could be a good president gives me hope about a reduction in divisive, partisan politics.
In the spirit of (honest) good will, let me say that while Bush wasn't a very good president, there have been great conservative presidents and great Republican presidents, and there will be to come.
