Transparency in government is not something that you are used to, is it?
Bush and his cronies are having hissy fits that Obama camp told the American people what was up. "Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned.
Too damn bad you little Bush twits.
Bush once again wants to screw America with the Columbia Free Trade deal.
Go away already Bush. You've stomped on this country and its Constitution enough.
The real question is, once Bush is out of office, will the US Government ever attempt to prosecute the entire Bush Administration for lying us into the Iraq War, trashing our Constitution with illegal wiretaps, torturing prisoners, and ignoring pre-9/11 warnings.
There were lots of legal issues concerning Bush which were swept under the rug when Republicans were in complete control of government. Republicans often wouldn't even allow Congressional hearings on things involving 9/11. Some Democrats in Congress, like Cynthia McKinney and John Conyers, had to conduct their own hearings in the basement of the Capitol Building.
A message has been sent to the Bush administration ... me likey! I can't wait to hear the stories of all the letter O's missing off computer keyboards.
And the quote from the Bushies:
Senator Obama would be wise to keep close counsel," a top Bush source warned.
Ooooooh, I'm askeered ... what, is Bush gonna send President Cheney over and bust Podesta's kneecaps with an errant shotgun blast? Is Rahm Emmanuel's other middle finger going to "sleep with the fishes?"
I can hear the theme to the Godfather going through my head when I re-read that comment.

There are going to be so many civil suits on Bush it will make his head spin. I would expect to see the families of 9/11 victims to fire the first shots. Most of them never accepted the 9/11 Commission's findings. Next up, Hurricane Katrina ravaged coastal cities and the insurance companies that were almost bankrupted. Then....
Mr. Obama is clearly an honorable man.
It is not impossible that he is privately livid over the leak and his chief of Staff in on a mission to prevent the perp from ever embarrassing the President-Elect again.

I don't know if Bush will have to answer any civil suits. He more than likely will not even remain in this country after he leaves The White House. Bush should to be tried for all of his crimes, even if it is in absentia.

I don't think there is such a thing as "unintentional leaks" when it comes to Washington politics. This was a bold negotiating tactic by Obama. Bush was trying to play hardball by holding up Columbian Free Trade in exchange for assistance to the automotive industry as part of the Wall Street bailout, and Obama called him out on it (without really personally calling him out on it).
That's my take on this anyway. Obama knows that Bush has no real political currency left on the open market. Only behind closed doors.
