Said Bush to his Democratic successor 4th Nov, 2008 Tuesday: "What an awesome night for you."
"I promise to make this a smooth transition," Bush told Obama at 11:12 p.m. EST, "You are about to go on one of the great journeys of life. Congratulations and go enjoy yourself."
"Mr. President-elect, congratulations to you," Bush told Obama according to a White House account of the call. "What an awesome night for you, your family, and your supporters."
"John, you gave it your all. I'm proud of you, and I'm sorry it didn't work out," Bush told McCain, according to White House press secretary Dana Perino. "You didn't leave anything on the playing field."
Bush had privately told his friends and advisers during a dinner toast: "May God bless whoever wins tonight."
