Mr. Bush and Mr. Obama have had little chance to forge the kind of personal relationship that might prompt a smooth handoff. In his book, “The Audacity of Hope,” Mr. Obama wrote less than admiringly of his first face-to-face encounter with the president, at a White House breakfast for new senators after the 2004 election, where Mr. Bush outlined his second-term agenda.
“The president’s eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty,” Mr. Obama wrote. “As I watched my mostly Republican Senate colleagues hang on his every word, I was reminded of the dangerous isolation that power can bring.”
Three questions come to mind:
1. What will be the moment be in their conversation where Bush realizes that he's out of his pay grade again?
2. Was Cheney present?
3. Given that last quote alone, will wingnuts ever get the difference between Bush and Obama?

Obama should slap him in the face 4189 times.
But instead, he'll be respectful of person who deserves no respect. He'll be cordial to a person who deserves only derision.
He'll be Presidential in the face of a fool.

Perhaps this is why we need him so badly.
I just hope he remembers to de-louse afterward.
