WASHINGTON - President Bush is promising to help newly elected Democratic President-Elect Barack Obama transition into the White House.
Bush made the announcement at the White House Rose Garden Wednesday morning, where he also paid tribute to defeated Republican running-mates John McCain and Sarah Palin. The President said no matter how Americans cast their ballots, they can be proud of the history made Tuesday.
Bush also said Obama's election was a historic breakthrough in a country that has seen monumental civil rights battles.
