Reports leaking out of the meeting suggested that Bush indicated he would support Obama's hopes for another round of stimulus checks for U.S. taxpayers if Congress would also approve a long-stalled, free-trade pact with Colombia.
Leaks also said that Obama urged Bush to use part of the $700 billion in bailout funds to help the country's automobile makers immediately, to which Bush remained noncommital.
Obama's camp was mum today, but White House spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters before the ceremony aboard the USS Intrepid that the president did not try to cut a deal with Obama on his stimulus request.
"In no way did the president suggest a quid pro quo when it comes to the Colombian Free Trade agreement or other free trade agreements," she said. "He believes it can and should pass on its own merit.

Bush is trying to be decent, and Obama is trying to use Bush for his own political purposes. What’s up with that?

But that is a good way to keep GM in business. Government take over GM and give everyone a new car.

what’s Obama’s big rush?
In a few months, he’ll be able to put through whatever stimuli he wishes.
It seems as if Obama doesn’t want to take responsibility for his own program.
A more reasonable approach would be for Congress to carefully decide exactly what stimulus they want, work on the bill the next 2 months and get it right, they can send it to Obama on the afternoon of Jan. 20.

"He leaks and he lies. What a suprise. "
There seems to be a troubling pattern of this behavior, not just in this instance, but with foreign countries as well. I think those European leaders who wanted Obama to win are going to find out he can't be trusted to tell the truth about the private conversations he has with them.

What if other people lied? It's not like Obama is not the only one in his crowd who tells lies ~
Frankly, they're all wrong about what was discussed. I have it from good authority that Bush had to explain to Obama how to use the special flush handles on the commodes located adjacent to the Oval office, and where the new standard coffee mugs are stashed (behind the Presidential desk, in the well).
Then there's the historic Bebe Rebozzo/Richard M. Nixon glass pitcher. They used to gather in the Oval Office and mix marguritas for each other. Richard would sometimes open a door leading to the outside, and Bebe would crawl after him into the Rose Garden.
Obama had some trouble with the "latch" and took several tries at getting that door open.
There'll be no end to this sort of thing.

He leaks and he lies. What a suprise. This bodes very ill for our Nation. That an incoming POTUS would start out in such a way in dealings with a current sitting POTUS/Administration cuts through all the smoke in how he sees and understands leadership. The gravity of being POTUS/CinC has clearly not effected this man as it should. The need for pause and to be serious.

"He leaks and he lies. What a suprise." I guess it's time to buy stock in Depends granny drawers. There's going to be a lot of leaking the next four years.

Give the big O what he is entitled as a Senator; he is not trustworthy. Bush had to wait till January in 2001, probably led to the World Trade Center attack: the demcraps would say.

No, you get to pay for someone else to get a free new Cadillac every 3 or 4 years. You will receive the old one. Of course, it being given free, you can just imagine the care that it received during its use by one of the “little people behind you.” Good luck if it even runs.
