WASHINGTON (AP) — All smiles and compliments, President-elect Obama and his wife, Michelle, called on President Bush and first lady Laura Bush Monday in a White House visit that was part political ritual, part practical introduction and a striking symbol of the historic transfer of power to come. The president and Obama talked war and financial crisis. Laura Bush and Michelle Obama talked about raising daughters in the nation’s most famous house. Then Obama flew back to Chicago to work on setting up the new administration that will take over on Jan. 20. Mrs. Obama went out hunting a new school for the kids, visiting two of the capital city’s best-known private schools.—-Contact The Daily Reveille’s news staff at [email protected]
