STORYLINE
President-elect Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle, arrived at the White House on Monday for their first visit since last week's landslide election victory, the first official step in America's intricate minuet of transition from one president to the next.
The Obamas stepped out of a black limousine, and were greeted by outgoing president George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush.
The two couples briefly posed for photographers before the Bushes escorted the Obamas into the Executive Mansion that they'll call home in a little more than two months.
Bush and Obama were seen talking as they walked alone under the White House Colonnade, pausing for pictures before entering the Oval Office.
It was Obama's first time in the presidential chamber.
The 43rd and 44th US presidents were expected to discuss the challenges of leading a nation freighted in this hand-over of power by a severe economic downturn and two wars.
The country's troubles fall to Obama when he takes office January 20.
Bush and Obama were not scheduled to make any public statements during their time together.

How it was when a gentleman was elected to office and how a gentleman looked leaving an elected office by the end of his term.
Gentlemen who lied about the weapons in Iraq and destroyed the country & allowed ISIS into Iraq in 2014.
tahiti treat, I never agreed with the invasion of Iraq because in turn it destabilized that part of the Middle East and strengthened Iran.
However, with regards to current issues in the U.S I hope there is a change for the common good of the American people.
@@cjcj2963 Fair enough. I would like people to know, Iraq was one of the most advanced and civilized countries in the area( After Lebanon). Women worked alongside men, women drove cars, Iraq had great healthcare, ZERO taxes and much more. It was way ahead of some European countries!!! Not to mention the cradle of civilization started there ( Mesopotamia & Babylon),,,,,,, Iraq wasn't Saudi, Libya or Pakistan!!! To blow it back to the stone age , now that is a sin. Bush started it and Obama finished it! The country will never recover...... It's much worse than what's happening in the US today. Let's be honest, every fatality is blamed on Covid, only to harm Trump even more. And of course, the left is after Trump, more than they are after the rotten Chinese communist party, that spread this virus everywhere.
@@aljawia the heck you on about, people were starving in Iraq during Saddam. Nobody could even afford to buy a house, you get married you take your wife to your parents house and live there. I’m Glad Iraq was invaded, and that traitor president Saddam Hussein got what he deserved
Looks like we took respect and decency from presidents for granted
This countries so privileged itll never stop talking this for granted. Itll be a yearly thing
Ain't that the truth. We took a lot for granted. Hopefully we can get it back.
I agree. We need to get back to the times when Democrats & Republicans could disagree on policies but still display mutual respect for one another. We've seen from the past that it IS possible to disagree & have civil debates on issues without demonizing & vilifying the other side. Can we ever return to such times or have we gone too far to turn back?
It's only been a week! still early days, wait till you find out how great Biden & Kamala are!
That's the way it should've been with Trump's couple
So when you are classy human beings, This is how you do things in society
GWB may not have been my favorite president during his time in office, but my affection and appreciation for him has dramatically risen in the last 4 years. Thank you for your service Mr President.
Watching this now because we won’t see this tomorrow
Obama closed the door of the car himself, after helping his wife out and lead the way. That is the way to do it!
You see that. It's called having class and respect. No matter your political differences are.
The GOOD OL DAYS!!!!
Lol now we live in a Trump world where this is too much to ask.
Looking at all the peaceful transitions of power, Trump really looks like a school bully who's being a whiny brat because he didn't get his way and the Teacher had enough.
The days when elected officials had character and defended the people's will at their own peril if necessary because the country was first. Good ol days
yeah, we won't be seeing this between Biden and Trump
And we haven't
As a non-American, when I reached adulthood and aware of how politics across the world works, including my own country, I was amazed at how American presidents can sincerely and without fuss, transfer such an awesome duty and power from one to another. Yet at the same time, mundane... "C'mon, it's America... of course they can do that, they're a great power and a mature republic unlike us. There's nothing weird about Al Gore conceding an election that included tons of shenanigans against him, of course an American politician will do that for the good of his country."
And then Trump came along. And although I knew he will never do it from the minute he lost, I gotta admit a part of me died a little seeing Biden taking the power from an unwilling party (although rightfully), breaking the symbol and tradition of American democratic stability with it.
President Bush (43) showed exactly how a US Presidential transition is _supposed_ to be. Cooperative, cordial, professional, and almost boring. Bush wanted Obama to be prepared and welcomed.
🇺🇸❤🇺🇸
I wish I had known how good it was then: I had the idea then that things may possibly improve dramatically for the middle class and poor. There was a feeling of hope for many people. Silly to think of it now...still surreal to know the person in this symbolic position of power is not working for the best interests of average Americans...maybe this next time around in 2020?? Please God. How are we tricked over and over into voting against our own interests?
Great presidents, one destroyed Iraq and was the reason why Al Qaeda came to Iraq.
The other destroyed what The first one didn't and allowed ISIS into Iraq in 2014.
jonathon carter what the hell comment is this..
@@Liamnerfdude1 Clade I owe you nothing: I'll leave you to ponder the meaning champ. Let's hope they are able to safely remove the whacky orangutan-creature from inside the Oval Office..
@@maxstormhamburger3688 I Neve said you owe me anything but you do owe me an explanation for svat🇮🇱 like be nonsense talk nm Joe Biden has a gaurpefe avd🍆veryun interesting face trump is German and has hair still hahhhqhq
The devil you know is 10 times better than the ones you are about to know! I pitty America.
Never forget GWB is a war criminal. All of you sheep can fall in love with nostalgia all you want, but never forget he and his father were both war criminals.
Let me guess, you voted Trump?
Most Bush voters probably then became Trump voters bruv.
Is Donald Trump watching this? Is any of the Trump family watching this?
Are any of the Trumps watching this? Taking notes?
Are any of you 👉 👈Trump fans, Trump supporters, Trump voters watching this? Taking notes.
1:34 idk why but the quick pause for the photo op is fucking hilarious
The 43rd President meets the 44th president.
If Gore were president in 2008 then he would be meeting with the president-elect after 8 years as our 43rd POTUS
🇺🇦🇷🇺👑️❤
Mr Bush I got a few questions regarding. 9/11
@0:45 "you both look like Trump" Am I the only one who hears that?
It’s not Trump... is something referring to the ladies it seems.
"You both look autumnal"
Right before Obama says that, you hear one of the ladies say "the fall colors"
Dave Dee I can hear it now thanks
Dave Dee not sure what that word means though lol
@@ryanmathis8286 Autumnal? Autumn means fall as in the season.
Sleepy joe will never experience this 😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
You think we expect a man-child like trump to behave like an adult? Hilarious. Cameras are ready to document trump's tantrums yet again. And I'm here to laugh at "it." :)
@Will B naw sleepy joe cheated rigged election
@Will B they're wrong. Trump won
There's no way in hell sleepy joe got 80 million legal votes. 45 smoked his ass and u know it
@Will B sleepy joe is horrible he has dementia. 45 was the best president this country ever had. The only way they could ever beat him was by cheating and everybody knows that
