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.
Developing...
Good sign. GWB is done with bailouts and stimulus checks. Please tell Obama you are done. You know Obama is going to claim its all Bush deficit and he has to raise our taxes and its all Bush’s fault. Tell Obama to talk to lame duck congress himself, and to screw himself too.
** on grounds of anonymity, citing the private nature of the meeting.”**
LOL!
Rahm Emmanuel’s fingerprints are ALL OVER THIS!...............
Maybe Obama can hold his press conferences on Oprah. People worry about Obama dictatorship? Isn’t it, rather, the diminishing of the Presidency as he assumes the office of “Celebrity in Chief”?
Rush almost started a pool yesterday to say how long it would take for the details of the “private” discussion to be leaked.
I’m sure he will discuss this today.
I can't help but think that too every time I look at him. Another thing that has crossed my mind, say that beyond probability the birth certificate deal is proven and he's forced down and this clown has already been briefed with classified information.
Disgraceful. Think about what the leaders of our allies are thinking right now.
I can't wait for Obama to get rid of Bush's tax cuts and the the federal income tax rates go back up to the higher levels of 2000 and watch all the low income Obama voters’ take home pay reduced!
I have financially prepared for the tax cuts to be gotten rid of so I am expecting a financial hit.
Wonder if O Can out-lie Bill and Hill? They sure weren’t slouches at lying either.
Now you have to wonder about the leaked NT Slimes secret al-Qaida raids.
Ha, ha—does Rush know how these scumbags work or not?
Precisely on target ... Hussein 0bama is given over to doing evil. He supports murder ... lying is small change, to him.
Well, after all, it is the AP...
If Bush knows what the US or Isreal is going to do about Iran before January 20, you can bet that Obama won’t.
You did watch his first press conference didn’t you? He flunked that also when he was off the teleprompter.
He’s not likely to fire his own self.
Good Lord... what a mistake it was for America to elect that guy.
If Obama had any character (which, of course, he doesn’t) he would find out who is doing the leaking and fire them now.
******
Since he and Bush were the only two in the room, it is not difficult to figure out who is the blabber.
I wish O could fire himself!
Can you please explain more about how Powell gave a heads up on the ‘manufactured crisis’. Thanks.
