To President Bush and all his supporters: I hope I'm wrong.
I really do. Now that you’ve won , Mr. Bush, nothing would make me happier than for you to prove me and my friends wrong. Show us you are a thinking man. A fair man. A man with a heart and a conscience. Not a bully. Not a misogynist. Not a homophobe. Not an ugly American. Make us eat our words. Make us proud to be Americans again. Because for the past four years, we have been so ashamed. Surprise us. Make us want to hold our heads up high to say, "We were wrong about that George Bush. We were wrong."
I believe in God, too, Mr. Bush. A God who is compassionate and promotes loving one another as the Golden Rule . I will pray for you, Mr. Bush. That you will be wise and measured in your policy making. That you will do unto others as you would have them do unto you. I will pray for peace. Not just on American streets, but everywhere in the world. After all, your God and mine wanted it that way .
Prove us wrong, Mr. Bush. We're counting on you.
