Obama's congratulators?

Did anyone else notice that Obama got a heartier congratulations from GW Bush than from his wife? What's up with that?

    I think you can't read a lot into that because you don't know what went on earlier this morning when they had breakfast together, etc. She could have just been distracted at the moment. She's been very cooperative and cordial throughout the transition.

    Bush and his wife gave an interview a week or two ago where they said that George didn't watch the election much, while his wife did; she admitted being upset about the way in which he was portrayed, while he shrugged off the criticism. It seems like she's still somewhat bitter about Obama's criticism. On the other hand, it does seem like Obama and Bush legitimately like each other.

  • Michelle probably congratulated his uknowwhat off the night of nov 4th, if u know what i mean LoL im sure there is no lack of "congrats" between those two. if my boo was president, especially the first black one, he'd never be short on "congratulations" from me! lol what did u expect? that she'd slob him down or somethin? or another fist bump? nah, they both kept their cool..

    I don't really know. But it could be that he's just saving face.
