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."

The sad things is the crazyass libs cannot for the LIFE of them ADMIT that! They see class and graciousness as glib and bitterness. It just goes to show that when you are so deep into hate yourself you can't see anything beyond your own traits and weaknesses.

I didn't agree with everything Bush has done during his presidency (maybe 80% of it), but the man is a class act all the way.

Exactly.

Damned firewall. Can't read the linky.

But I can imagine the note says something like this:

Dear Barry,

I'm pretty sure the desk will be fine for you - it was for me!

I left you most of a box of Kleenex, just inside the small table behind the desk.

You'll need it to wipe up the tears of a shattered nation once you begin to realize that the job is WAAAAAY bigger than you are.

Good luck! You'll need it!

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.

"Dear Barry,

You thought I was stupid. Well you're entitled to your opinion. At least I was smart enough to pick a Vice President and Secretary of State who had no ambitions for being President.

Sucker.

Bush's behavior was a lot different than 8 years ago when Clinton left. Bill was bitter and put on a show.

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.

Not much of a secret when the news has been talking about it all day.

Obama heard about it, before he found it!

Poor Cheney, having to be in a wheelchair and helped into a car, not able to get in the helicopter. I'm sure that made the DUmbies happy.

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?
