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.

It’s been making me vomit long before this election

The enemy already has paper & pen at the ready for the “nuke” codes.
There have already been leaks about Obama’s discussions with the president of Poland, and public disagreement between the two about what the discussions entailed.
In 2001.
See how the media have kept that image from Americans.
Mr. President you are STILL the President. Quit whining and DO something about it!
“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.”
A perfect example of why the Republican Party is in shambles. Why would a conservative negotiate a bailout of one of the worst business failures in the history of capitalism.
Hopefully President Bush will see fit to allow Obama to sign the unpopular bailout when he is President. If not, perhaps Bush is actually attempting to destroy the conservative movement and GOP altogether.
And the same way, if you recall, with Clinton.
Billy was on the news practically every day for eight years. His staff kept him in the public eye just like ad agencies do with McDonalds or Nike.
Make that two..
I seem to recall that Joe Biden was kicked off the Senate Intelligence Committee for leaking information. Not sure if my memory serves me correctly. Does this ring a bell with anyone?
Excellent tagline!
Bump that.
Maybe the SCOTUS needs to pay a little closer attention to the natural-born issue now.
Panthers?
I thought that was Leahy.
Thank you! :-)
Oh, you’re right. “Leaky Leahy.” Well, birds of a feather, you know...
don’t know how this ties in but just in case it correlates,

It was a private meeting between the two of them, with no aides present. Obama is the one doing the leaking.
“We need a new name”
Well, he’s the Prefident Elect!
