Final Farewell

" He will get on what normally would be Air Force One the 747. But will be known as special airlift mission. And flown back to middle of Texas but now let's just watch this month. And again just if you are light to this if you're wondering why Vice President Cheney is in a wheelchair. He was moving some boxes in the last couple of days into his new home in McLean Virginia. And he strained his back and he was under doctor's orders to stay off his feet as much as possible. And you you just know that he hated the idea of having to be. Participate in this inaugural ceremony innovate in a wheelchair but I guess there was no question about it I I am told that he's going to be driven. Two Andrews air force base and he will be there does this say farewell to. Is president George W bush when he gets on the 747. Special airlift mission is the Air Force One will be called since. Is no longer the president and when it leaves. Taking President Bush home to to Midland Texas. Now the moment is left for. The current the tough. Former president. Barack Obama. If there's ever anything that's said. The transfer of power it was not that extraordinary picture of the of the Obama is in the bushes. Embracing the the Obama is ready to take on the that the the power and the burden of the presidency and for the first time in eight here is the bushes for you and your thoughts were."

" I was struck by what is obviously becoming quite cordial even indeed warm relationship that exists between. Obama's in the bushes. It is certainly common to see and shaken. Smiles exchange that system Chris. What is less common nose to see these embraces so we saw them. Among all of and twice right to speak out on the plus a very broad broad. This is a road has a lot of things about about the bush. These people what -- you think of the policies. That they have put places -- take. Our gracious. And honorable. Decent people. And all who come into the air and rail whether to report coming to do an interview or -- the White House. Or indeed an incoming president working for transition. Come in contact with the fact this is the way the bushes are this is that this is the way they play their bread. And I'm sure they Obama I think the evidence is clear now we sit here today the obamas have come to appreciate this. You heard president reflect the new president reflected his speech. On his gratitude for the smooth smooth transition. And then we see that remarkable moment today which has got to movie and reassuring to Americans everywhere he's seen. -- not only peaceful. But positive this transition changes."

" Other waving goodbye and then again I think this for from the Obama perspective picks up on the idea. That he hopes to end this -- of what he described in the inaugural addresses and partisanship and bitter partisanship. You can see that helicopter now. Behind. Chris Lofton -- passing over the capitol and we'll lose there it is and taking our 43 president on his way to Andrews air case I was there."

" Chris -- one if he's not taking a -- run down the mall weather and I think that's exactly what what do you have is not going to win tomorrow have a look at the evolution of the White -- the list that's exactly what ever Ronald Reagan did in. In 1989. When his two year terms in office. The web site went down the ball and actually thanked the helicopter over the White House if you get one final look at. -- once they're home that that's not the direction we're Andrews air force bases in my guesses is taking a tour of presenting an extraordinary view this remarkable proud. The in the crowd estimate that there were talking German hundreds of thousands of not more than a million."
