I have been hearing an awful(!) lot in the news lately regarding Obama's transition into the White House. In every story about it they inevitably mention how the Republicans (GHW Bush Administration) left the White House in a shambles for the Clinton Administration, and wouldn't share information, etc. Although the sensationalized reports of these indiscretions are based in fact, you NEVER hear about how the Clinton Administration returned the favor (and then some) to the GW Bush Administration. So much so that he signed an Executive Order (Executive Order: Facilitation of a Presidential Transition) REQUIRING the full cooperation of the exiting administration and establishing a Presidential Transition Coordinating Council to oversee the transition.
The media is making it appear that Obama is spearheading the transition, visting the White House as if it were his brilliant idea to get a head start at presidential preparedness. All the while the media gives BO the glory for "making sure the same thing doesn't happen to him that happen to Bill Clinton".
I'm calling shenanigans on this one. W has enough stains on his record already. Why not give credit where it's due?
