Back at the White House, President Bush also addressed the Republicans overwhelming electoral loss. In his first post-election comments, the President suggested enemies of the United States were pleased with a Democratic victory.

President Bush: “Amid this time of change, I have a message for those on the front lines. To our enemies: Do not be joyful. Do not confuse the workings of our democracy with a lack of will. Our nation is committed to bringing you to justice. Liberty and democracy are the source of America’s strength, and liberty and democracy will lift up the hopes and desires of those you are trying to destroy.”
