from ThinkProgress:



Bush and Obama to meet tomorrow.»

President-elect Barack Obama and President George W. Bush will meet face-to-face tomorrow at 2 pm in the White House to discuss the upcoming transition. Atrios highlights a previous encounter between the two men:

“Obama!” Bush exclaimed, according to Obama’s account of the meeting in his second memoir, “The Audacity of Hope.” “Come here and meet Laura. Laura, you remember Obama. We saw him on TV during election night. Beautiful family. And that wife of yours — that’s one impressive lady.”

The two men shook hands and then, according to Obama, Bush turned to an aide, “who squirted a big dollop of hand sanitizer in the president’s hand.”

Bush then offered some to Obama, who recalled: “Not wanting to seem unhygienic, I took a squirt.”

1. Why would he do that?

Is Bush germaphobic? It seems as though he is selectively germaphobic. The guy is a lot odder than I had thought.

8. I love hand sanitizer, but what Bush did just seems rude

Do it out of sight, dammit!

3. He needs more than that.

He needs a priest, a rabbi and a shaman to accompany him to protect him from the evil emanating from Bush.

7. He needs to show up in surgical scrubs with a face mask.

Fucking Bush. What an asshole. :grr:

And, don't tell me it was 'flu season'. We've all been through 'flu season' and we do the gracious and polite thing and wait until we get to the restroom to wash our hands.

13. Obama should take a tank of holy water with him...

Then once the meeting's done he can thrust his hand into that holy water and wash the evilness of George W. away.

14. I think the White House needs an exorcism before Obama moves in.

Need to get rid of that bad mojo.
