Default So much for confidentiality...

Obama aide leaks details of meeting between Bush and Obama.

This after being asked "To keep close counsil"

http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/11...uto-indusstry/

Given this is about domestic finance issues but it does give one pause as to other security aspects.

I read this news this morning. I suspect and would hope Obama finds who leaked the information and have this person relieved of duty. If these talks at the presidentual level were conveyed in confidence to one of Obama's staff, there is no telling what else this person is capable of.

Looks like it's not just Obama's problem. Unless that's not the part we're discussing Personally, I think "senior aides" should have their mouths sutured shut so as to preclude such discussions with the media.

Yep, could have gone both ways certainly. You are correct, silence is golden in some situations. In reality, I'm more interested in what color the drapes are that Obama has selected to hang in the White House.

I'm betting on Chartreuse ( see here for an example)

This is called a transparent government. I support it 100%. We have heard over the last 8 years how everything had to be "secret" for secutiry purposes. They have hidden a mountain of crimes under the guise of "national security" recently. I hope this is a taste of things to come. I mean, what do they have to hide if all they are doing in on the level? The founding fathers did not intend for the government to be run in secret by a small cabal. That has what has happened under Bush.

Doubt it was the dress, Laura Bush has never been that close to a "person of color".

And you've never been close enough to Laura Bush to know anything about what you're saying

The pictures of the four in front of their ranch - I mean the White House, reminded me of the mother of all TV-soaps, "Dallas"! Just Miss Ellie looked a bit stoned...
