Obama Reveals Contents of ‘Bush Envelope’
(Satire)

In keeping with the tradition begun only 20 years ago when Ronald Reagan left behind a note for incoming President George H.W. Bush, outgoing 43rd President George W. Bush left a personal message for his successor, sealed in an envelope and placed in the top drawer of the Oval Office’s ‘Resolute Desk’.

President Obama reportedly opened the message, intended to be a private, personal one, while he was alone in the Oval Office preparing for his first full workday as Chief Executive.

Today, perhaps bowing to criticism that he had violated his earlier promise that this administration will be the most transparent to date by limiting media access to his totally meaningless and redundant ‘re-swearing in’ by Chief Justice Roberts, the President made public the contents of that envelope, a copy of which appears below.
