US President George W. Bush late Tuesday telephoned his apparent successor, Democrat Barack Obama, to congratulate him on his "awesome night," according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino. "Mr President-elect, congratulations to you. What an awesome night for you, your family and your supporters. Laura and I called to congratulate you and your good bride," she quoted Bush as telling Obama.
"I promise to make this a smooth transition. You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself," Bush told Obama, she said.
The president also invited Obama and his family "to visit the White House soon, at their convenience," Perino said.
Bush was also to reach out to Obama's defeated rival, Republican John McCain, who conceded the fight shortly after 11:00 pm (0400 GMT).

I hope you have a lousy retirement and rot away quicker than LBJ when you go back to your Texas ranch.
I hope Obama thanked him too seeing he is responsible for his election.
Yes I have Bush Derangement Syndrome.
I just threw up a bit in my mouth at the thought of Michelle Obama occupying the White House
I have no words for this. What a d-bag. Yeah awesome night..congrats on your communist takeover of the US..way to go!
BARF.
What a joke he has become. A shadow of the Governor I knew in Texas.
And in the meantime, at Facebook, I get “HOW dare you, go fuck a KKK skinhead and blow ur brains out afterwards hoe” from Tarik Mohamed.
Bush sounds like the guy who just sold the used Ford, that soon will need a new engine and tranny.
Congrats Obama on an awesome purchase!
Sucker!
“Apparent successor”?
Does that imply things could change concerning the election?
I wouldn’t put it the way you did, but I hate the way the Bush’s are so nice and lay it on so thick to their enemies. If I were President Bush, I would have sent Obama a message with one word, Congratulations!, and left it at that.
why when obama’s supporters are out in front of the WH singing hey hey goodbye?
KKK was born from the DEMocrat party.
I wonder if he can hear the mocking, reveling thugs and punks that have piled up in front of the White House fence? The Obombots have took their partying to his doorstep-screaming for Bush to get the f*** out NOW.
Time to learn to love Big Brutha.
ouch ...I apologize...meant to do the f*** thing. Tired, I guess.
While he was at it, why didn’t Bush congratulate him for running a great campaign against his administration. Obama defeated Bush tonight.
I have lost all respect for this administration.
More and more Bush is reminding me of the kid in school who was constantly being picked on, made fun of, pushed around, and just generally tormented, all the while believing that those doing these things to him were his friends. I simply cannot get over the fact that someone who has been so strong in fighting against islamofascism is, at the same time, so completely spineless and eager to please in the face of democrats who have made it clear that they hate every bone in his body.
Bush screwed us. He was an internationalist. Obama is nothing more than the perfect fruit of the internationalist tree planted by Bush. It was nourished by 20 million illegal aliens. It was watered by Socialism, 50 billion for African AIDs, Trillions for prescription health care, for starting his chatter about Kyoto.
No more Bush’s, no more. No more country club republicans.
Maybe he’s being really really nice so President Hussein won’t go after him for his ‘war crimes’ and ‘torture’.
If you can’t say anything mean, don’t say anything at all.
No, unless you start coercing members of the electoral college.
