Class versus campaigning: the Bush/Obama meeting.
RedState: Conservative News and Community — ... This is transition time. Outgoing presidents support the new guy. And on that front, Bush is going well beyond the minimum. He has embraced the role of statesman with such gusto that it has been hard to miss. The AP does its best to sneer, mind you, but their heart isn't in this one, possibly because the Bush administration has been very loud and public in its insistence on a smooth transition of power. And their thanks? Why, continued campaigning, of course: BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS Just ...

Carol Platt Liebau: Sign of Things to Come?
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog — Reportedly, President Bush is unhappy that the details of his private conversation with President-elect Obama have been leaked . Just isn't done, don't you know. In the grand scheme of things, this isn't too important. But it is revealing. Barack Obama has the demeanor of a genuinely nice guy.

Daily Pundit — DRUDGE REPORT FLASH 2008® tor 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. Nah. Barack Hussein Obama is fully aware of it. He’s just ignoring it, because he doesn’t give a damn about such traditions. He’s out to win, not to play patty-cake. Of course, our RINO president, George Bush, makes a perfect “kick me again, harder” patsy for such machinations. ...

Political Radar — ... Bush administration and the Democratic Congress over a bailout package for Detroit, know that President-elect Barack Obama placed himself at this table -- and promptly tossed some valuable chips into the pot. He had an easy way out: the one-president-at-a-time line. He’s just a senator until Jan. 20. He didn’t have to turn his Oval Office session with President Bush into a lobbying powwow. And with just the two of them in the room, he certainly (as the Bush team reminded him with a high hard one tossed via Drudge ) didn’t have to turn private talks into a public spat. With ...
