To all the punditocracy who say that Obama doesn't have a mandate SPIN THIS

"Remember 2004 when Bush claimed he had a broad mandate when he won by just 3.5 million votes and declared that he had won political capital that he would spend enacting his conservative agenda.

He stated:

I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it. It is my style.

Bush added:

When you win, there is ... a feeling that the people have spoken and embraced your point of view," Bush said. "And that's what I intend to tell Congress, that I made it clear what I intend to do as the president; now let's work.

Dick Cheney (11/3/4) further said:

President Bush ran forthrightly on a clear agenda for this nation's future and the nation responded by giving him a mandate.
"
