Bush Makes Cheat Sheets for Obama

How sad is this? (Except for the Freedom Fairy part, which I regard as more like Realism)
From RBO of course.
Bush Prepares Crisis Briefings Revs Up the Teleprompter to Aid Obama
December 17, 2008 by Procrustes
Earlier this morning, RBO posted the following in today’s News & Views. Please read all the way to the bottom, where we have an update from FreedomFairy.
Can it be any more clear that PEBO was never the one who would be ready on “Day One”? or if the phone should ring at 3 a.m.?
Even W gets it. Peter Baker writes in the NYT:
The White House has prepared more than a dozen contingency plans to help guide President-elect Barack Obama if an international crisis erupts in the opening days of his administration, part of an elaborate operation devised to smooth the first transition of power since Sept. 11, 2001.
The memorandums envision a variety of volatile possibilities, like a North Korean nuclear explosion, a cyberattack on American computer systems, a terrorist strike on United States facilities overseas or a fresh outbreak of instability in the Middle East, according to people briefed on them. Each then outlines options for Mr. Obama to consider.
The contingency planning goes beyond what other administrations have done, with President Bush and Mr. Obama vowing to work in tandem to ensure a more efficient transition in a time of war and terrorist threat.
Did W put training wheels on PEBO’s desk chair in the Oval Office, too? You can never be too careful.
UPDATE: FreedomFairy made a quick sweep through the White House maintenance shop and discovered the following. Ipsi dixit.
