<tt><tt>BUSH ANGER: OBAMA AIDES LEAK CHAT DETAILS

</tt></tt><tt><tt>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,"

What does a Columbian trade agreement have to do with aid for the auto industry? :think2:

do you really think you know about the conversation that took place? or the context of the conversation?

or do you think this might be Obamanites playing their ongoing blame game through the media, with the enablers sounding their trumpets.?

 

[Risk44]

I love these republican stories where it fails to name 1 person/source.. Classic fox news style/unamed sources hit job..

 

[Risk44]

Isnt it the prudent thing to do to talk to your aides about things? I mean he would have had to at some point if he were to act on any of those issues.

Am I off base here?!

Talking to aides is one thing, leaking it to the press is another.

Yes, because with the way things are they weren't out on their way already.

I think that was the whole point of "change" .
