BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS
Tue Nov 11 2008 09:28:10 ET
Just hours after President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office of the White House, details of their confidential conversation began leaking out to the press, igniting anger from the president, sources claim.
“Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel,” a top Bush source warned.
“BUSH AND OBAMA AT ODDS OVER AID FOR AUTO INDUSTRY,” splashed the NEW YORK TIMES in an exclusive Monday evening, quoting “people familiar with the discussion.”
The two met at the White House in private, without staff.
“Bush indicated at the meeting that he might support some aid and a broader economic stimulus package if Obama and congressional Democrats dropped their opposition to a free-trade agreement with Colombia,” claimed the TIMES.

The ASSOCIATED PRESS quickly followed with details of the conversation, citing “aides who described the discussion on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting.”
Bush advisers view the leaks as an effort to undermine the president’s remaining days in office.
“Senator 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.
Heck, that’s nothing. Wait until Obama and his crew begin leaking state secrets to all countries abroad.
Kind of like the Bush Adminstration leaking the name of undercover C.I.A. agent risking her life because her husband spoke out against them?
Obama is not yet in office. As far as Bush, all I can do is laugh at this point.
It really doesn’t cost Barack Obama anything to show President Bush some respect at this point. He’s already won the election.
I like that Bush is being reported as being so friendly about the transition - of course he’s being friendly, he’s currently holding a box of lit dynamite and wants it out of his hands asap!
Although government is “for the people,” the people are the one’s who are allowed to hear the least bit of truth. Bush always puts on an act. Could it be said any more clear?
