President Bush is unhappy the conversation between him and President-elect Barack Obama has been cast as a trade-off between Bush signing a second stimulus package in exchange for congressional passage of the Colombia Free Trade Deal, administration officials told FOX News on Tuesday.

Let’s see... there were two people in the conversation and one of them is irked that the info was leaked... I wonder who leaked the conversation.... Hmmmm, that’s a tough one.
Brings to mind the NYT article about the secret order allowing engagement with AQ anywhere on earth.
This guy is going to be an out and out disaster.
Class....you can’t learn it.
It seems we’ve entered a new era classlessness.
That isn’t to hard to imagine...
A few days after Obama gets a High Level national Security brief the NYT reports this...

Any thoughts I had that this guy might set his small minded self aside & live up to the job are rapidly evaporating.
This clown is way in over his head. No military experience, no executive experience, and legislative experience that’s basically at the state level with the majority of votes cast as present.
President Bush----->Zero----->Emmanuel----->Media
Don't know - just a wild guess.
Irked. Does that come before or after pi$$ed?
When exactly did we enter that new era? When he flipped off Hillary I pretty much knew we were in for it.
Just think of all that money we’ll save on background investigations and those silly little security clearance things they used to have.
Selling it, no doubt.
The United States has hit a new low by electing BHO. We are entering an economic depression, which will be extended by the National Socialists’ higher taxes and war on capitalism.
The terrorists will be emboldened, will acquire a nuclear device, and will attack the U.S.
November 4, 2008 is a day that will live in infamy.

What, did Dubya believe Obama would behave any differently than, say Teddy Kennedy (is he still around?) would?
Is our President that gullible, that naive???
I guess I’m going to have to stop defending his intelligence; maybe all that “strategery” was just stupidity after all.
“60 Minutes” did a segment on Obama’s top 4 campaign advisors who said one of the reasons the campaign was a success was because there were no “leaks.”
That’s right...no leaks in birth certificate, school theses, medical records, grades, etc.
Yet, there’s a “leak” as regards really confidential matters?
Obama hired Emanual whose reputation preceeds him as a huge rumor monger in the Clinton administration.
With GWB’s terrific ability to judge people...Putin, Brownie, Rice, Powell etc, who expects him to ever be able to discern what a RatBastid BO is?
By popular demand!
The real question is, did he flip Bush off?
Will Mr Obama be closed-mouth about vital national security matters?
Bush is an honest man. He probably thought he could have a man-to-man, frank discussion with BHO without worrying about his words being leaked.
Obviously, as 56 million voters know, Obama cannot be trusted. He has zero credibility with half of America. He’s a lightweight with training wheels on his bicycle, and all of our enemies will take advantage of that fact.
Of course not.
Foolish Republicans.
They still don’t acknowledge who the enemy is.
Yeah, it looks like Obama ripped W a New Tone.
When are we supposed to get pissed off? Those of us who have suffered in the last two elections because you have undermined the high ground every time you brought a disgraced, impeached president into the White House and fêted him, every time you brought Teddy Kennedy into the White House and munched popcorn with him, have been pissed off for a long time.
Surely between now and the inauguration Day, George, there will be plenty more opportunities for you to bend over and grab your ankles.
And Bush was so wonderful and gracious to him and Michelle. So sweet it’ll give you diabetes.
I have a feeling O is going to treat W like Eisenhower treated Truman on the ride to the swearing in ceremony.
What makes you think he believes anything about Hussein?
The leak is just an opportunity to slap Hussein. If anyone can, it's President Bush. This is not a "Bush's fault" moment. It's a "good for President Bush" moment.
IMMEDIATE IMPEACHMENT !
No break,no “honey moon” for the new so-called “elected” POTUS
please share, how did Eisenhower treat Truman?
(I bet Ike is really ticked off at his daughter)
Never trust a communist.
This man should never have been a candidate first and foremost based on his associations, international ties and his drug use. After working in the defense industry and going through the rigors of getting a clearance and even being denied a special clearance because of being young and honest about some things in the past - this man should be nowhere near any type of secure or top secret information - that should be one of the vetting criteria before even entering the primaries!
It’s amazing how a leak from the Obama side is Bush’s fault in the eyes of some. Not to mention the leak wasn’t even accurate. Seems to me like Obama is already campaigning for 2012.
Hello, did I miss something? I always thought that the American people decided that Obama was to be the President? Did Pres. Bush choose him?
I don’t think so, I think some misguided people chose him for Pres. and Pres. Bush is merely being polite and doing what most outgoing presidents before him did.
January 21th-The house and senate Republicans will take over that duty!
First of all, it was customary for the incoming president and first lady to have tea. Ike wouldn’t even go in. In the car over Ike wouldn’t speak to Truman. Truman was fuming over the way Bess had been insulted.
0bama would appear to be a natural-born spazz. Mere inexperience can be hidden longer than a week.
Well since I am totally against the Korean and Columbia trade agreements. I am glad someone leaked this information. It hurts Republicans in the Midwest by the way.
The hate is rife among conservatives.
It's sickening at times.
Must have been the Korea thing, or the corruption thing. I remember that. ‘I will go to Korea.’
You know I read this comment, and I just got to wonder-do you believe in elections or democracy? Obama was elected by the American people. We are in the worst economic shape in my lifetime, and you are talking about impeachment. This is just stupid. We better all pray that Obama is successful in terms of the economy or we are in huge trouble. Personally, I hated the constant irrational hatred directed at Pres. Bush (good man) the last few years. I find it just as distasteful when it’s directed at Obama. We lost-accept it and move on.
Headline:
WORLD LEADERS EAGER TO ENGAGE IN FRANK AND CANDID DIALOGUE WITH OBAMA
My question is "why did he leak this?" Any guesses on what his end game is on this? I haven't yet figured out if they want him to sign this bailout or if they are trying to tic him off so he won't sign it?
If they want him to sign it, why? Obama could sign it in two months and take all the credit for saving the auto industry. I figure they must be planning to put some stinky thing in there, hoping the pres won't read it all, and then blame Bush for the results in years to come.
