BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS
Drudge Report ^ | 11/11/2008 | Drudge

Posted on 11/11/2008 6:41:18 AM PST by autumnraine

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.

Thus begins the Blabbermouth Administration.

They certainly kept “close counsel” during the Obama campaign, however.

If Obama had any character (which, of course, he doesn’t) he would find out who is doing the leaking and fire them now.

Obama is an internal enemy of the United States. So are his goons. Get used to it. Buyers’ remorse in 2010 will be catastophic.

Don’t you find this part ironic and stupid?

“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.”

Obama has no class. It's kind of funny, because the MSM really wants him to be a Kennedy in the Camelot tradition, but he's just a punk off the street.

Obama voted against banning partial birth abortion - why should we ever expect him to be a decent human being that understands trust?

Obama will pursue some kind of criminal charge against W when he is in office.

Didn’t he throw a hissy fit when he met with President Bush during the banking crisis as well? I recall headlines saying “the meeting is going BADLY! very BADLY!”).

Isn’t this just the beginning of the 4th Executive Branch, the Mainstream Media?

I bet the other world leaders take note of how Obama handles this. Leaks of private conversations between world leaders, does not go over real well. Future conversations are severely limited.
