The Obama's and the Bush's Greet Each Other

The Obama's and the Bush's have greeted each other on the steps of the White House. Mrs. Obama presented Mrs. Bush with a gift. I have never seen that before but what a lovely and gracious thing to do. This is a very interesting transition of power. President Bush is leaving the office with an approval rating of 22% and Mr. Obama is entering the office with an approval rating of 75%.

Here is another hot tip: right after the swearing in Congress will reconvene to approve several of Obama's cabinet choices. Rumor has it that first up with be Senator Hillary Clinton's vote as she becomes Secretary of State. The drama will then move to New York as Governor Paterson decides who with take Senator Clinton's seat.
