Obama's 2004 DNC speech was all about coming together and "we are not as divided as our politics suggest."
Inclusiveness is what attracted independents to Obama. Rs are trying to turn his strength against him by claiming he's as divisive as Kerry was unpatriotic, and his "failed" foreign policy as bad as Bushs' was good.
Obama is smart to not play their game. He lets his success accumulate and stand on it's own.
