Bush congratulates Obama on 'awesome night'
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).

3. Anyone get the feeling Shrub can't wait to get outta there?
He passed that law that eases transitions and asking Obama to come measure for curtains. I think Georgie boy is done.

7. Let me translate - bugs galore all over the White House..
and the "O" removed from the WH keyboard.

I just hope W gets evicted soon enough so we can sweep the damn White House for the illegal bugs and shove it far up Cheney's rectum so he can have an actual and fatal mycardial infraction.

I'd thoroughly fumigate the place as well.

and put it in the basement, next to the rat's hole.
