Bush and Obama Working Together On Pressing Issues
2008-11-10
I recall the Clinton to Bush transition and marveled that a bunch of Democrats could be so .. petty. Taking the 'W' keys off the computer keyboards? Luckily the current President is far more honorable and decent.
Faced with one of the most important transfers of presidential power in American history -- amid wars on two fronts, the looming threat of terrorism at home and a full-blown economic crisis -- the outgoing Bush administration and the incoming Obama team have responded with exceptional cooperation on those issues, aides and outside experts say.

Serious decisions, and potentially divisive ones, still remain for the politically and ideologically divided camps, such as access to classified information and, in particular, battles over the regulations and executive orders that will define the policy of the two administrations.

But the days since Tuesday's election have shown a striking level of comity following the rancor of the campaign, enhanced by President Bush's months-long efforts to pave the way for a smooth transition and President-elect Barack Obama's preelection determination to move quickly.

#2  If I were President Bush:

Barack, if you and I could have a very private word please. Barack, over the past few days I've been watching and listening to you very closely. Quite frankly Barack, you have not been living up to your statement "America can only have one president at a time." As a Texan, I take a man at his word. It's a personal thing Barack. It's personal, let me try to put it in context. It would be like me telling you how ugly that red and black dress is that your wife wears. You understand personal don't you Barack. Great!

I've been attempting to be a gentleman, play ball, etc. You understand sports, the game, sportsmanship, doing the right thing by your opponent. Now listen and listen closely you SOB. I've got a lot of sick leave built up and my stomach is really upset. The very next time I hear or read of you making or releasing any statement even remotely executive, of an international nature, or presidential... I am outta here and back in Crawford on permanent holiday. No transition, No briefings, No access, No staff, No back to D.C. for inaugeration hand-off, nada, zipp. You'll start like I started. If you want it ugly, I can make it very ugly. Do you understand me young man? It's your choice cowboy. Now, get the phuech outta my office and give me a call tomorrow with your decision.

#1  It's the usual thing: we're nice to them, they bash us as hard as they can. The stupid bastards that voted this POS in are going to bitterly regret it, but they got what they wanted. Now let's see how long it takes for buyer's remorse to kick in. It's already starting with the press, not that I'd ever again believe anything those cretinous shills said or wrote.

We're going to miss George W. Bush, not because he was so good but because his successor will be so terribly bad. The only saving grace about this election is that it drove a stake through the heart of the MSM. They won't be believed again under any circumstances and hopefully they'll soon go under.
