Bush Congratulates Obama
The White House offered its congratulations to Barack Obama Wednesday morning, following Obama crossing the required delegate threshold to secure the nomination Tuesday night.
“President Bush congratulates Sen. Obama for clinching the Democratic party’s 2008 nomination for president,” White House press secretary Dana Perino told reporters.
“He knows from personal experience that the presidential nominating process is a grueling one and Sen. Obama came a long way in becoming his party’s nominee.”
Bush won’t be calling personally to congratulate Obama, Perino said.
