The Unveiling of the White House Bush Portrait "Michelle Obama thanked the Bushs(sic) for their warmth and grace, all very proper. But seeing George and Laura Bush reminded me of what class looked like in the White House. It's good the Obamas(sic) now know how to act when they return in a 4 years for their unveiling."

Politico: "Everyone got the joke, and Obama flashed a big smile and chuckled appreciatively, but try as he might, he couldn’t stick entirely to the high road during his tribute remarks. During one passage, some East Room guests alert to any hints of friction shot nervous glances at one another, and one woman could be seen mouthing the word “ouch." "
"For the past four years, Barack Obama has disparaged, mocked, and blamed George W. Bush for everything which is wrong with our country - with a special emphasis on those things which have gotten a helluva lot worse under Mr. Obama himself. Just last week, the world's most powerful golfer accused Bush of creating sneaky tax breaks for the "wealthiest Americans," savaging the education system, and stealing healthcare from the elderly...all of which is a pretty good trick for a guy who seems to be spending most of his time working with wounded veterans."

OBAMA: The months before I took the oath of office were a chaotic time. We knew our economy was in trouble, our fellow Americans were in pain, but we wouldn't know until later just how breathtaking the financial crisis had been, and still over those two and a half months --....
RUSH: It's "Mr. President, you went out of your way." It's not "George, you went out of your way." Anyway, he couldn't help himself. This is a day where all this is set aside but he has to point out, it was bad, and it was worse than we knew. It was worse than they told us, but even two and a half months, in the midst of the crisis, President Bush went out of their way to make sure the transition to us was seamless. The months before I took the oath were chaotic, the economy was in trouble, fellow Americans were in pain.
"So you got Bush sitting there and the country sucked when I got here 'cause of you, buddy, even though we're unveiling your portrait today. It was so bad, we didn't know how bad it was until we actually got in here, George."...
