    President Delect George Bush

    Contrary to the tone of this article, the transition efforts of the Bush administration, and it's actions since the start of the economic crisis broke, deserve praise. By all accounts, the current administration has worked hard to ease the transition. They have actively reached out to Obama and his people. They have also consulted with them on financial actions that will have a profound affect on Obama's presidency.

    Give Bush some credit. Imagine the steps he could be taking to sabotage Obama's chances for a successful presidency. Bush may be a wanker with a long history of wankerous acts, but in the transition, he has behaved admirably.
