US President George W. Bush late Tuesday telephoned his apparent successor, Democrat Barack Obama, to congratulate him on his "awesome night," according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "Mr President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride," she quoted Bush as telling Obama.
"I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself," Bush told Obama, she said.
The president also invited Obama and his family "to visit the White House soon, at their convenience," Perino said.
Bush was also to reach out to Obama's defeated rival, Republican John McCain, who conceded the fight shortly after 11:00 pm (0400 GMT).
President Lameduck, who helped the GOP absolutely zero % can shove a sock in it.
W — a clueless loser till the end.
Good riddance.
In fact this very moment, Obama’s mob is outside the White House shouting that Bush should move out now.
The Dems will do all they can to put W in jail.
Sad.
I would not be surprised if he is in Gitmo.
And in four more years we’ll 20 million “awesome” new voters courtesy of Bush. It should be an even bigger election and even more awesome.
If I had known then what I know now, I would have told people to vote for Kerry.
I’m serious.
Sheesh. This thread is worthy of DU.
What stupidity. I think a bunch of Freepers need to go to bed.
‘Night.
I will second that! This was his reaction in 2006 as well!
Take some of that Freddie and Fannie money you raised and go have a good time. Tell ole Raines hi for me. I expect something for helping Raines, Barney and Pelosi keep this covered up. Cheers, what a great nite for us...I mean America.
I think he’s off the wagon. Drunks tend to isolate themselves.
Yes, they are.
Thank you for saying that. And I’m embarrassed by so many crass replies to your gracious post.
I agree
he broke the GOP over the illegals and then put his idiots in charge of the GOP and then let the Dems take over the DOJ so Acorn and Dems could steal Ohio and God knows what ever states ( VA, PA, ) !
Then he fell for the Paulson Dem staff “ the sky is falling “scam which was really a showdown between Lehmans and Morgan and let the WS crash . Paulson knew it !
Thanks George !
The ranch ain't good enough for him any more. My understanding he's moving to Dallas. He's a city boy now.
Your right !
I am literally sick to my stomach. Bush’s ‘Compassionate Conservatism’ only weakened the Conservatism in this nation and helped strengthened the Far Left. He opened the boarders to 3rd World immigrants who overwhelmingly vote Democrat. He helped change the political demographics for the Dems.
Congratulations and go enjoy yourself,” Bush told Obama
Said one ZERO to another.
You know we have to look at it - it is historical - who would have ever thought that an African American would be POTUS.
Who would have thought 1 year ago, that we would be saying President-Elect Barack Obama - 1 year ago I thought it would be President-Elect Hillary Clinton.
The one area I totally disagreed with Bush on was No Child Left Behind...
I see the GOP in the same state as it was in 1976...we have good leadership in Governor’s Palin, Jindal, Pawlenty...let Palin and Jindal become the standard bearers and conservatives will rise again.
