Days away from the end of George W. Bush's presidency, Dan Froomkin gives us an extensive and useful sampling of what journalists and news organizations are saying about the 43rd president's legacy and how their perspectives compare.

Excellent round-up of national press coverage on the transition from the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration. White House Watch columnist Dan Froomkin cites insightful reports and commentary from major U.S. publications, both mainstream and independent. In the process, he offers useful context on key differences between the two administration, as well as on the Bush legacy.

This is a notable compendium of media stories (with links provided) starting with coverage of the challenges facing the incoming President-elect and looking back at the legacy of the Bush Administration, as a context for those challenges.

I enjoyed the stories collected for this bit of news analysis, but was surprised that several pages had been devoted to "The Bush Legacy", hardly fitting into the title "Obama's First Test". The analysis resumes at the end, posing a great question related to how the Bush presidency might have altered how presidents are reported. This story is loaded with links.

While not talking about Obama's first test very much, the writer did nail Bush to the outhouse. Bush and Chaney's fairwell tour continues it's sell-out tour across the country. If you can't get tickets, try e-bay.

It appears to be more personal than syndicated news articles
