WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush on Tuesday called Democrat Barack Obama to congratulate him on winning the presidential election, the White House said, adding that Bush invited him and his family to visit to the White House soon.

"You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself," Bush said to Obama according to White House spokeswoman Dana Perino.

Obama will be sworn in as the 44th U.S. president on January 20, 2009.

Bush, whose job approval ratings have been at record lows, spent little time on the campaign trail with Obama's opponent Republican candidate John McCain as a result. He watched election returns with friends and staff at the White House.

13. Just go away asshole? That's not what I want.

I want him put away and can somebody please tell me if Obama will pursue this avenue with respect to those traitorous criminals under and including bush? I would assume he will restore our civil rights again, right? If he doesn't restore our rights it would be a very ironic thing that somebody of his ethnic background would also slap the faces of Americans and especially those that are African American.
