Stumble It!
The current president and the next one are scheduled to meet at the White House this afternoon behind closed doors. Who wouldn’t love to be a fly on the wall for their first post-election get-together?
President-elect Obama owes his victory in no small measure to President Bush’s historically low approval ratings. Obama just spent the last two years trashing his predecessor on the stump, and tying his opponent, John McCain, to Bush’s policies.
While the meeting is likely to be somewhat awkward, it will probably not match the uneasy meeting between Bush and President Clinton and Vice President Gore right after the recount.
