Obama: No George, I'm sorry, you have to move out by January
Bush: You mean, we can't be "co-Presidents"? No one told me I would have to leave this job one day. Why didn't anyone tell me?
Obama: Well, why did you think you had to run for re-election in 2004?
Bush: Is that what that was? I thought Kerry just wanted to challenge my authorita'. I figured when he lost, I was declared World Champion.

Obama: Mr. President, right now, we are dealing with the worst financial crisis since The Great Depression. I know we can work together to solve this issue for the sake of our nation. Based on your own opinion, what do you think it caused this global financial crisis?
Bush: I think that coyote, who spended all that ACME toys, is the perpetrator. Like I mean, how did he get all the moneys?

Canadians will find themselves missing U.S. President George W. Bush if the next administration tinkers with the free trade deal, the American ambassador to Canada says.
Speaking at a Fraser Institute engagement in Montreal, David Wilkins said that the next president should check the facts and figures on the benefits of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
He said that person "will realize that it is so beneficial that they will not risk rescinding NAFTA or losing NAFTA and they'll continue to support NAFTA."
He said NAFTA has put food on the table for North American families, created a massive number of jobs and roughly tripled three-way trade.
"So, I understand Canadians being a little concerned when they hear talk about withdrawing from NAFTA."
Free trade became an issue during the Democratic primaries when Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama threatened to pull the United States out of the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico unless it's renegotiated.
During a presidential debate earlier this month, Republican presidential candidate John McCain charged that Obama would "unilaterally renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement."
Obama countered that he supports free trade, but criticized Bush for an attitude that "any trade agreement is a good trade agreement."
"And NAFTA doesn't have, did not have, enforceable labour agreements and environmental agreements," Obama said. "And what I said was we should include those and make those enforceable."
Bush has been a staunch supporter of NAFTA, said Wilkins, who was appointed by Bush.
"Canadians just might discover that they will miss President George W. Bush," he said.

Obama: See, the economy is a lot like a woman - cyclical, round, and likes to be treated gently from time to time, and sometimes suffers from uncontrollable PMS that you just can't handle.
Bush: Rofl, speaking of what you were talking about and I wasn't listening to, I totally forgot, here's the key to my White House liquor cabinet. It's got plenty of 'crystaaaaaal'. That's what you young go-getters drink nowadays ain't it?

Obama: "See Mr. President, your Cowboys suck. The Bears will wipe the field with them if they meet in the Playoffs."
Bush: "Are you crazy or just doing coke again? [pauses] Don't look at me like a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar. Go cut some lines. I'll have the Secret Service draw the shades in the oval office. Laura and Michelle are going to be pissed."
Obama: "Now this is the kind of bipartisanship I can get used to."
