Bush and company (through policy, words, and sometiems just his very presence) has caused a lot of "hurt feelings" in Washington.




The whole reason we have at least two political parties is because not everyone is going to agree. Otherwise, we wouldnt need political parties, or elections, for that matter.

In accord with that reality, it used to be understood that the each side was going to promote policies and programs that the other side didnt like. But it wasnt take so personally and not to the point where the minority party actually considered the "presence" of a particular president to be offensive.
