The final Bushism

When Barack Obama entered the Oval Office at 8.35 am this morning, he observed a minute's silence. He then opened the note, left by his predecessor George W. Bush, marked: "For number 44, from number 34".

translated by myself.

EDIT: BBC.co.uk reports that the note was actually marked "For number 44, from number 43". Sounds like the NOS tripped up badly here.

    I do think "Dubya" has the 43 memorized, anyway. Not that I'm not happy to see his time ended.

    When we went downtown yesterday, my daughter almost wore her sweatpants only as it was COLD. We're both glad she didn't. Her ranking for her dancing is 43rd in our region, so she has a big 4 and 3 on her sweatpants. Oh, my, that would NOT have been the day nor event to wear those to -- we were there to welcome the new President!
