A man of his word. A man of honor. A man to be trusted. A good man:
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.
Well, in fairness, how could he be?
I mean, the guy hasn’t much government experience, really — and writing Oprahfied books about what made you you doesn’t provide a crash course in statesmanship the way, say, executive experience does.
Beyond that, I guess we’ve learned one more thing about Obama that reminds us of Jimmy Carter: a disdain for the kind of courtesies given other Presidents by those who’ve held (or, in this case, will hold) the office.*

Actually I’m almost surprised that this harsh rebuke escaped the Bush White House. I wonder whether Bush will hunt the speaker down and exacts some sort of punishment upon him.
Comment by Jeff G. on 11/11 @ 2:12 pm #
Right, Lisa. Just as inconvenient facts are a “smear,” now pointing out instances wherein Obama acted in a way that is considered crass and unstatesmanlike will be termed ODS.
Glad to see you joining the legions of those committed to the idea that words mean what those who shout them loudest — or defend them with the most militancy — mean.
Might makes right!
Comment by JHOward on 11/11 @ 2:13 pm #
Actually, Lisa, it’s somewhat like my brother just observed: “One hand doesn’t know what the other is doing so we end up with these conflicting statements. Mr. President-elect has to keep ‘clarifying’ the positions his subordinates keep releasing on his behalf. It’s almost like he has no leadership experience whatsoever.
“He’s unprincipled and disorganization is the result. Wait till the foreign policy gaffes start showing up. He’s gonna go down as a president that got nothing done because the confidence level in his leadership is going to degrade his authority.”
Not much ODS there, I’d say. Something somewhat closer to, shall we say, a decent read on the reality the early evidence points to. In other words, with not much more than this level of incompetence to recommend him one entire week into President Electhoodiness, I can’t blame you for pointing over there instead. Look!

No, I suppose not. As much as I disagree with Bush, I think he has a sense of honor and works from it most of the time. Those with a sense of honor are always at the mercy of those who do not. In a nation where the difference if recognized, it all works itself out. Unfortunately, for reasons Jeff regularly discusses here, I am afraid the US is no longer a nation that can recognize the difference.

Comment by Topsecretk9 on 11/11 @ 2:53 pm #
another bit of shedenfreude:
Last week, however, 10 percent of voters were African American while 18 percent were Latino, and applying exit poll data to that extra turnout reveals that the pro-Obama surge among those two groups gave Proposition 8 an extra 500,000-plus votes, slightly more than the measure’s margin of victory.
To put it another way, had Obama not been so popular and had voter turnout been more traditional – meaning the proportion of white voters had been higher – chances are fairly strong that Proposition 8 would have failed.

Y’know, I am starting to look forward to this, in a grimly ironic sort of way.
Those of you with long memories may recall my mentioning my Grandmother, the Old Southern Liberal (in context — context is all.) “Lizzie” was a lifelong Democrat who believed FDR was the finest thing evah and considered That Man in the White House (Eisenhower, in this case) just short of demonic. With all of that, she would never have allowed the n-word to pass her lips, and could be scathing about the lack of class and refinement of those who used it. It would’ve been in 1959, or perhaps 1958, when she upbraided me for thoughtlessness. “You have to be nice to the Negroes,” she told me. “They can’t do for themselves the way white people can.”
If this incident is an example, we’re going to have four years of the Media ringing different changes on “You have to be nice to Obama, he’s black and you can’t expect him to be competent.” Perhaps we should start an archive.

Ric

Hehehe, another unhinged mooser drops some steam.
A God who counts pennies and minutes,
a desperate sensual God,
who grunts like a pig.
A pig with golden wings,
who falls and falls,
always belly side up,
ready for caresses,
that’s him,
our master.
Come,
kiss me.

Anonymous leaks say anonymous leaks are bad.
But seriously isn’t the thing thats interesting here the fact that Dubya thinks he has something to negotiate over?
“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”
Who cares what he supports? Do they need this in this Congress?
However I can agree that Obama’s people obviously need to plug up the leaks. That bit about gitmo wasn’t very good.
Comment by David Blue on 11/11 @ 11:11 pm #
Jeff Goldstein, please let go of this. You’re right, and Barack Obama is obviously a very bad man. But that’s why a lot of bad things are baked in the cake. There’s no point in spoiling your digestion about it now.

Did you read the text of the press gaggle Dan linked above? Wherein D. Perino said:
Not that it matters to you, or should, but I care what Pres. Bush supports.
Comment by EW on 11/12 @ 12:17 am #
Obviously someone leaked something but i am not sure why this would really benefit Obama? The liberal illuminati have painted such a great picture of Obama he doesn’t really need to do any more Bush bashing to gain points with anyone does he? I am sure this was just some stupid person talking to some other stupid person, something stupid. Obama is smarter than than personally i think.

Who cares what he supports? If it is so unimportant, meya, why did Baracky court his support, and why is he pushing for same by leaking to the media?
President Bush should tell Baracky to go fuck himself. Tell him if these things are so damn important, that he should be proud to put his signature on the legislation when he actually takes office in January. Until then, Baracky is a first-term Senator from Illinois.

I think you mean smart-mouthed. As in Nancy Reagan holds seances. Or Ryan Lizza reporting that the puppy-dog reporters following him around the 2004 campaign in Chicago would get a thrill down their leg when he snarked about that stupid Kerry — that guy who made him the keynote speaker superstar at his nominating convention.

Is Kerry still around? I thought he went to Cambodia. It’s seared into my brain.
OK, maybe not. Obama is right to dis Kerry. Kerry earned it.

I really dislike the way this is all starting. Of course, right now I am still a bit tired and out of the loop. I guess I have four years to get current. That and reading this here PW. I kind of think of Jeff’s work as my morning Battle Update at home.
123, 124 – why did you have to go and say “John Kerry”. Now I am going to have to try really hard not to swear in front of the cat. He really makes my blood boil. The longer I serve, the more I dislike him for what he did when he came home from his traumatic four months in the Nam. I now have three years deployed time, and stand to get another before I retire. I have managed not to consort with AQ or the Talib or HIG too.
Gah.

Comment by Mossberg500 on 11/12 @ 10:50 am #
Sam, while I disagree with Lisa and thor on just about every conceivable subject(except jazz), they have consistantly been supportive of our military. They certainly don’t deserve what you just wrote.
Comment by MAJ (P) John on 11/12 @ 11:06 am #
135, now stop that. My oath means “ALL” get the service. I still think, on the whole, I am better for having been given the opportunity to serve. Danger, time away from loved ones aside.
131. Amendment I to the Constitution – good stuff, eh? Utilize in all lawful manners you wish!
132. see above.
Comment by Cave Bear on 11/12 @ 11:38 am #
Yeah, Sam. That was a bit over the top.
Welcome home, Major, and thank you (and your cohorts).
Comment by Sam Hall on 11/12 @ 1:22 pm #
Maj. John, I’m sorry I used you to make a point. I shouldn’t have done that, but hey, I’m an asshole.
I fully understand that our armed forces protect and defend the rights of all Americans regardless of their political opinions. That was not my point. Military service is a gift to one’s fellow citizens, and gifts are not about being deserved. If this service was deserved, it would no longer be a gift put a payment.
That being said, saying thank you to someone who gives you a gift you didn’t want and don’t like is still hypocricy in the name of civility.

Comment by Sam Hall on 11/12 @ 1:57 pm #
I’ll beat this dead horse no further except to say this.
Given their individual opinions about American use of military force and Iraq in particular, thor and Lisa should not be using the phrase “Thank you” to any veteran.
If they have any personal regard for any particualr veteran, they should say “I’m glad you made it back OK”. To do otherwise cheapens the gratitude of those who sincerely mean it.
After all, this is the blog where words are supposed to matter, right.
Comment by MAJ (P) John on 11/12 @ 2:27 pm #
I dunno, on the bqalance, I think over the past 24 years the “gift” of military service may have favored me. What I have learned, experienced and gained has probably slightly outweighed the getting-shot-at/stuck-in-a-minefield/away from home, wife and kids/missing career opportunities.
I think only because I have not received the same miserable treatment the Vietnam vets got. I can see how someone of that era might say the opposite of me.
Comment by Sam Hall on 11/12 @ 2:39 pm #
Maj. John, no matter how you personally feel you may have gained by your service, it can never offset the risk you assumed for all of the rest of us. You bore the risk of injury and death (and the certainty of separation and privation) so the rest wouldn’t have to.

My dad had a similar view. He served for a long time and fought in three wars. Before he died, we talked about how, on balance, he was glad that he stayed in the military and that he felt it had given far more to him than he had given. The military was a good place to be for a minority before it was good anywhere else. Plus, he loved languages and was fluent in six when he died. The military opened up the world to him in more ways than one.

What does that mean, donald? What do you propose doing with all of those folks on the other side of that line? You really have to think about what you are saying. You can’t be vaguely threatening but not think through what your next logical step would be. Either we are Americans with the explicit right to have an opinion divergent from your own – or our opinions are so atrocious that we are no longer fit to be citizens with the same rights as you. In the latter case – what do you propose? Segregation? Elimination? Re-education? If you are just talking out of your ass, then cool. I find that to be a most enjoyable pastime.
