Earlier this week, we saw Barack Obama tour the White House with outgoing president, George W. Bush, who was a major target of the president-elect during the campaign. Now it’s Joe Biden’s turn.

The vice president-elect and his wife, Jill, will tour the Naval Observsatory today as they prepare to call it home come January. Current vice president, Dick Cheney will be leading the tour.

While Barack Obama often attacked Bush’s policies, Joe Biden went even farther when speaking of Cheney, calling him, “the most dangerous vice president probably in American history.”

Ouch! No imagine what conversation over tea might be like between those two today. “So….really? Was I that bad?” Aside from the resounding YES, I like to think of this as a real tribute to our country. How many other country’s do you see two camps, so bitterly in opposition to the other, sit down and peacefully hand off power to the other?Even if their placcid exchange is only superficialit is still light years beyond how many countries deal with a transition of power. Now if we could only use those diplomacy skills with foreign countries, or in Congress.
