Why no Bush coverage?, by Existencil on Nov 5, 2008 12:27:05 GMT 1, I'm amazed that the press have not made more of Bush leaving the White House. I know he was pretty insignificant as a leader, but you would expect some sort of summary of his eight years in office. It amazes me that he seems to have moved out of office through the back door without any attention.

Why no Bush coverage?, by Deleted on Nov 5, 2008 12:40:08 GMT 1, no - he is president elect, he has to form a government and be inaugurated prior to becoming president. So therefore Bush is president still, but has no real power left

Why no Bush coverage?, by raiden on Nov 5, 2008 12:58:44 GMT 1, Oh, he has plenty of power still... maybe not to get something shoved through Congress... but right around this time is when the US President hand down a bunch of ridiculous pardons. Usually some of the most blatant abuses of power take place in this "lame duck" segment of his Presidency - for comparison, Clinton pardoned a bunch of rather unsavory business figures and took a huge portion of Utah and made it a national park just because. He can still authorize military actions too... such as strikes against Iran.
Now that Bush's actions will no longer affect McCain, expect some more ridiculousness. Plus, he basically has till January to continue his muddling... sorry world, you haven't officially seen the last of it.
