"The White House announced plans Thursday for the first post-9/11 presidential transition, which will begin before Election Day for the first time in the nation’s history.

President Bush announced a Presidential Transition Coordinating Council that will meet next Wednesday, with representatives of the White House and both presidential campaigns.
The White House began talking and meeting with representatives of Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) this summer."

I wonder if this is just because Bush wants to get the heck out of dodge as quickly as possible.

Yeah, I remember when McCain went to meet with him at the White House, remember the day Bush danced, he made some kind of remark to the effect that he was going back to his ranch and kick up his boots and this guy would be in charge.

Bush knows Obama is going to win and knows where the USA is heading.

Corruption by Democrats.

I foresee corruption all over the USA and lack of patriotism when Obama becomes president.

People are just going to be out there and think of themselves without regard to the country. This is what is happening with ACORN right now.

The U.S. constitution will basically be useless. CORRUPTION/CHEATING will explode in massive proportions when OBAMA becomes president.

I'm loving all the Republicans screaming "Cheating! Corruption!"
Perhaps you don't remember the last 2 elections?
Don't be jealous that the Dems are registering so many new voters. It's time for a change and people know it, especially the younger voters. Obama knows how to reach people using the internet. McCain doesn't even know how to turn on a computer.
And if by "lack of patriotism" you mean that we will be able to question our government and military decisions without being called traitors- then I'm ALL for it. I'm tired of people thinking there is only one way to love your country.

Bush knows where we are headed because he has been driving for the past 8 years.

Is this what the voices in your head are telling you?
