Nov. 8 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush said Barack Obama represents ``a triumph of the American story'' and pledged ``complete cooperation'' in his transition to the White House.

``Ensuring that this transition is seamless is a top priority for the rest of my time in office,'' Bush said in his weekly radio address.

President-elect Obama and his wife Michelle plan to meet with Bush and first lady Laura Bush at the White House Nov. 10. In the coming weeks, administration officials will be asked to brief the Obama team on financial markets and the war in Iraq, Bush said.

``I will keep the president-elect fully informed of important decisions during this critical time for our nation,'' Bush said.

Obama, in his first radio address as president-elect, said political adversaries will need to work together to help the nation overcome the economic crisis.

This is important... especially when you consider the fact that the transition between Bush senior and Bill Clinton, then Clinton and bush minor was anything but with hostility and resentment on both sides.

If the two of them can pull a seamless transition of power it will be a feather in the cap of both men but especially bush minor considering how he has so personalized and politicized the whole government under his watch.
