Pres. Bush Shows Class

I really enjoyed this article on many levels. The Associated Press has an article actually complimenting Pres. Bush on the transfer of power to Pres.-Elect Obama. I enjoyed this article because it does do a good job of pointing out the great lengths to which Pres. Bush is going in order to make the transition of power as smooth as possible. It even has some praise for Pres. Bush for making sure the transition is polite and effectual. Another part I love about the article is how the AP cannot just leave it at that. The AP makes a point of proclaiming that Pres. Bush's class and professionalism as an outgoing President will not help his "legacy." Pres. Bush is leaving office, never to return, and leaving with style and grace, but that is not good enough for the AP. They have to make sure his memory, his "legacy," is appropriately tarnished. Pres. Bush is setting the example, doing everything he can to be gracious and professional, and the AP has to make sure they get in a jab, a Parthian Shot of sorts.
