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.

First meeting = Last meeting
I didn’t think it possible, but I am liking this guy less and less.
2010 and 2012 can’t come soon enough.
The silver lining here may be that he’s SO BAD, it does lasting damage to the Democrat party. Let’s just hope and pray it doesn’t do lasting damage to the country.
Let’s keep gunning for Obama, we’ll nail him to the wall on something quickly.
This is Bush’s fault. Should have known that you can’t trust that bobble headed Marxist.
And this guy is getting intelligence briefings? I think I’m going to puke.
What tradition should be held to the self-anointed One, born of communist parents, raised by a communist grandfather who had him mentored by a CPUSA pedophile named Frank Davis and who’s political growth was borne of the Chicago way, via slumlords and community terrorist bombers?
Not seeing American traditions anywhere in there.
He won't and the reason why is obvious.
Did they?
Didn’t both Biden and Powell leak about our ‘manufactured crisis?’
Blabbermouth-elect.
The lights of Camelot have already been turned off by the dictator. We need a new name for this administration.
“find out who is doing the leaking and fire them now.”
Works for me, since the statement by the President seems to imply it was the Emperor-Elect himself.
Just another total debacle the msm will not fully explore or report on, as happened with his disaster of a first press conference.
Well, Obama just failed his first test as a new world leader.
Obama is disgusting. Just proves McCain’s assessment of him, that Obama is inexperienced.
He should have kept his mouth shut. What a jerk.
Like individual freedom, principles in the constitution, property rights, etc.
What do you expect from a common street punk from the south side of Chicago? Why would we expect him to honor ANY Presidential tradition?
