We saw him on TV during election night. Beautiful family. And that wife of yours -- that's one impressive lady." The two men shook hands and then, according to Obama, Bush turned to an aide, "who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president's hand."

... Quick. Guess which pol said this about which pol :“Suddenly it felt as if somebody in a back room had flipped a switch … The (politician’s) eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty. As I watched my (member of a political party) hang on his every word, I was reminded of the dangerous isolation that power can bring, and appreciated the Founders’ wisdom in designating a system to keep power in check.” If you guess Obama talking about ...

... the American Dream, of not caring about war casualties, of lying about weapons of mass destruction, of initiating policies to benefit the rich, of not caring about the financial meltdown, of destroying the planet, of sticking it to the poor and middle class, of not caring about the people of New Orleans after Katrina, and of general incompetence – among other things.

Lots of touchy-feely back-slapping and glad-handing. No sign of the hand sanitizer the cable shows have been blabbing about all morning. All hail the peaceful transition of power from lame-duck president to overlord-elect!
