I mentioned on Friday that at his first press conference President-elect Obama was deferential to President Bush and his continuing tenure in office through January 20th, but not overly so. And now comes word that in his meeting today with President Bush, Obama pressed him on three economic agenda items — stimulus package and aid to the auto industry and homeowners. Don’t wait till I’m president, Obama told Bush, according to NBC. Do it now.
