President Bush welcomed President-elect Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday with a few hearty pats on the arm, a symbolic gesture to the transfer of power soon to take place.
Obama and his wife, Michelle, walked up the steps of the North Portico and exchanged handshakes, smiles and pecks on the cheeks with the outgoing president and first lady Laura Bush.
After posing for a photograph, the foursome went inside to have coffee in the Blue Room with Vice President-elect Joe Biden, his wife, Jill, and leaders of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies.
Keeping with a White House ritual, Bush left a note for Obama in his desk in the Oval Office, wishing him well as he takes the reins of power.
"I won't provide any details, but the theme is similar to what he's said since election night about the fabulous new chapter President-elect Obama is about to start, and that he wishes him the very best," outgoing White House press secretary Dana Perino said Tuesday.
Anonymous sources close to Obama say that the note contains only this:
"And now for something completely different."
...there is some double stick tape in the other drawer....pin your damn ears back.
Just goes to show the class that President Bush and First Lady Bush have. Gracious to the end...

Bush's behavior was a lot different than 8 years ago when Clinton left. Bill was bitter and put on a show.
.
Not much of a secret when the news has been talking about it all day. :evillaugh:
Obama heard about it, before he found it!
Dear Hussein al Honolulu,
You actually will have to do more than vote present in this job. You will not be able to take a poll before every decision is made or you will be faced with a greater attack than 9/11 sooner rather tan later.

ps. Cheney asked if you would like to go quail hunting this afternoon

"Caesar, thou too art mortal."

I am willing to bet that the Bush staffers didn't take the "O" keys off of the keyboards and trash the place on the way out the door.
I'll bet you $1000 that former president obama isn't nearly as gracious to President Palin in 2012. :-)
Hi5 to the other Tess for the post and her beyond-kewl name.
GWB = class act, BHO = trash act.
Yeah, I remember that. Didn't they steal some of the furniture as well?
I don't remember furniture being stolen, but I do recall that the plane called Air Force One when the President is on board was ransacked on it's last flight taking the clintons back to arkansas.

Yes it was....everything that was not nailed down was taken out of the plane.

Yes and add in there the trail of "suicides" that occurred under their tenure along with the S & L scandal. Well, I guess we could just go on and on...
one of these days, someone who knows where all of the bodies are buried (figuratively speaking, of course :-)) from the clinton era is going to come clean, or write a book, or find himself being prosecuted and cut a deal . . . and we are going to be shocked at what that crowd was up to. having sex with interns is going to seem mild by comparison.
...I particularly remember a "Searching interview" Dan Rather conducted with him (Clinton), where Rather resembled nothing so much as bitch in the throes of heat, offering up the ol' hindquarters to the Big Dog. It was disgusting to watch Dan Rather's drooling, credulous submission in that sad mockery of reporting.

You.
Compare President Bush's departure on inauguration day to clinton's departure on inauguration day.
How long did the good byes last in 2001, hours was it?
Hey bill, don't go away mad, just go away!
