From Meet the Press:
BROKAW: [W]e heard former Secretary of the Treasury Jim Baker, former secretary of state, a wise man in the Republican Party, announce today that he thinks that Barack Obama and President Bush should get together before the inauguration with some kind of a symbolic act to try to shore up confidence in this country.
CHUCK TODD: Well, it's interesting, and, and what I'll be curious to see is what Republicans will jump on that bandwagon and say let's do something. And maybe the symbolic act is what you asked him about in particular, asked Bill Daley about it, about getting Timothy Geithner [to-be Sec of Treasury] in place now. You know, don't wait until January 20th.
What sort of precedent would this set? Is it simply because Bush has no credibility left or should all president-elects exert large power over the current executive branch? I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out.
