| BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS |
| 2008-11-11 |
| As appearing on Drudge: Tue Nov 11 2008 09:28:10 ET Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim. "Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned. "BUSH AND OBAMA AT ODDS OVER AID FOR AUTO INDUSTRY," splashed the NEW YORK TIMES in an exclusive Monday evening, quoting "people familiar with the discussion." The two met at the White House in private, without staff. "Bush indicated at the meeting that he might support some aid and a broader economic stimulus package if Obama and congressional Democrats dropped their opposition to a free-trade agreement with Colombia," claimed the TIMES. The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing "aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting." Bush advisers view the leaks as an effort to undermine the president's remaining days in office. "Senator Obama may not be familiar with a long-standing tradition of presidents holding their private conversations, private," a senior adviser explained to the DRUDGE REPORT. Beautiful! |

| #11 Again, "W" would have been smart to not have anything to do with the SOB. Proving YET again, that Conservatives cannot be nice to these parasites. We need an end to bipartisanship, and we need to jettison some of our high ideals and fatal desire for fairness. ALL is fair in Love and War! When will the Repubs wake up and realize this is war?

| #9 The only reason this makes any sense is if Obama and company are trying to push Bush into doing/not doing something before the change over. Maybe Obama wants GM given enough cash to survive until he can nationalize them. |

| #7 It's pretty obvious that Obama leaked it through aides, though. It's well-established by now that His Nibs don't talk to reporters or other trash. |

| #5 When you guys gonna get your heads around what kind of man Bammo is? He will do whatever he damn well pleases and ruthlessly prosecute those who aren't in lock step. If he wants to leak, he'll leak. If you try to leak on him, you'll do hard time or worse. I predict the left will suddenly get really enthusiastic about punishing "treason." |

| #4 Obama knows to whom he confided, revealing the source of the leak to the NYT's. If he had any integrity, they would be ex-aides, ending this before it starts after inauguration. Since he doesn't, maybe the Bush Administration should make good use of the Patriot Act to protect us from these treasonous idiots while they can. |

| #3 The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing "aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting." I love granting anonymity because they were disclosing confidential stuff. I also wonder if Obama was on board with the leaks or if he was surprised. |
