Video: Bush And Obama Meet

WASHINGTON (AP) – The Bushes welcomed the Obamas to the White House on Monday, offering a symbolic glimpse of what’s in store for the country: a new first family along with a new administration.

President Bush and President-elect Obama met in the Oval Office, their first face-to-face session, while first lady Laura Bush and Obama’s wife, Michelle, held their own meeting in the White House residence.

The Obamas arrived at the South Portico 11 minutes early with Bush and the first lady waiting for them. Mrs. Bush and Mrs. Obama enjoyed a warm greeting, while the president and his successor exchanged smiles and a handshake.

For what it’s worth, President Bush actually seems to like Barack Obama.
