According to the Washington Post, changes are happening in White House Policy already. President bush was quoted as saying
"If you listen closely to some of the leaders of the Democrat Party, it sounds like -- it sounds like they think the best way to protect the American people is, wait until we're attacked again."

"[H]owever they put it, their approach comes down to this: The terrorists win, and America loses."
- Oct. 30
"I truly believe that Congresswoman Pelosi and Harry Reid care just about as much -- they care about the security of this country, like I do. . . . I thought when it was all said and done, the American people would understand the importance of taxes and the importance of security. But the people have spoken, and now it's time for us to move on."
-Nov. 8
Each of the quotes reflect the Presidents political change of heart. I doubt that this election has made him love the democrats, the only thing I see is that he is going to have to work with them and his advisors and staff are working to make sure he does that. I do not think the next 2 years will be easy, I think their will be a continuous struggle for power between Congress and the President. Furthermore, that struggle may hurt the American people more so in the long run then the Republican controlled government we had 2 days ago.

that first quote is more of a dig at the Democrats than a concession to bipartisanship.
The earlier quote on October 2, was prior to the elections. The objective of the individual quotes was to show how prior to the election President Bush said one thing and after the mid term election his opinion has changed drastically.
