Well-framed Associated Press (AP) article on President Bush’s meeting today with President-Elect Obama that reflects the tradition, class, and principles of a first class democracy: How to make a transition of power for the good of our country.

The quote, "Let us all finish the job with the same class with which we served" is George H. Bush's and his instructions to his staff when Bill Clinton assumed the presidency.

America from the start has been about WE the people - proclaimed in our Constitution.

Abraham Lincoln reinforced the idea is closing his famous Gettysburg address with: this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

When Americans can look past the Me to the We – we are the United States of America.
