Obama's Unity Call: Show, Don't Tell

[Geee]

Townhall:

In the spirit of post-bin Laden peace, love and harmony, President Obama has asked all Americans to "harness" national good will and stand together. The commander in chief could practice what he preaches -- by inviting President Bush to stand with him at Ground Zero in New York City on Thursday.

It would be an extraordinary -- dare I say "unprecedented," to borrow one of Obama's favorite words -- act of political maturity, good faith and transcendent unity against our common jihadi enemies.

Last night, some reported that Obama had invited Bush -- who declined. If that's true, Dubya needs to change his mind -- for America's sake.

Stay with me, folks. Suspend your disbelief, cue John Lennon's "Imagine," and wave your olive branches in the air like you just don't care. Now, picture the uplifting, patriotic post-partisan scene:

Side by side, the Democratic commander in chief and his GOP nemesis would join hands at the former site of the World Trade Center towers; pay heartfelt tribute to the thousands of victims of Osama bin Laden here at home and around the world; and pledge continued support for our military, intelligence and homeland security personnel in the U.S. and across the globe.

Bush would graciously reiterate his congratulations to Obama for a "momentous achievement" in "the fight against terror."
