CLEVELAND - In a symbolic meeting of present and future, President Bush and wife Laura welcomed President-elect Barack Obama and his wife to the White House yesterday.It was Obama's first ever visit there.
While touring the grounds, both men posed for photographers and almost seemed to be the best of buddies. This was clearly for show as Obama repeatedly made clear his feelings about the lame-duck president during his just completed campaign. He continually linked Bush to his rival, Sen. John McCain, repeatedly blaming the nation's economic meltdown on "the failed policies of George W. Bush."
Fascinating.
The men reportedly discussed serious issues while in the Oval Office, yet held no interviews. First lady in-waiting Michelle Obama was taken on a tour of the grounds by current First Lady Laura Bush.
Mrs. Obama also checked out a couple Washington D.C.-area schools for their two young daughters in preparation of their future move. After that, Obama had a couple private meetings before he and his wife flew back to Chicago.
They'll be back though.
