Bush Welcomes Obama

President George Bush and first lady Laura Bush have welcomed the first African American President-elect Barack Obama and incoming first lady Michelle Obama into their future home. Though non of us have experienced it, we can only imagine the different emotions Obama is experiencing. CNN notes this meeting as an historic formality. Bush and Obama discussed many issues that our country is facing. According to CNN, though Obama frequently campaigned against what he referred to as Bush's "failed policies" Bush has vowed to do everything he can possibly do to make sure that the tranisition is a smooth one. Obama told reporters that he was gratified by the invitation to meet with the president and his wife, and he was sure that besides taking a tour of the White House they would have substantive conversation between himself and the president. Bush said that when he called President-elect Obama to congratulate him on this historic victory he said that Obama could count on him and he would be completely cooperative as he made this transition to the White House. Many have said that President Bush is trying to get on good terms with the public, which is why he continuously mentions that Obama has his full support and cooperation. With or without Bush's support and cooperation Obama will figure out how to deal with this transition, besides he has a powerful black woman beside him and many who support him everystep of the way.
