President-elect Obama stepped into the Oval Office for the first time today. Today’s visit between the incoming and outgoing Presidents is more than a formality. It represents an historic transfer of power, unlike any seen before in the United States. Built by slaves, the White House will be occupied by an African-American First Family.

The President-elect and future First Lady met the Bushes at the South Portico of the White House. Mrs. Obama and Mrs. Bush broke off for a tour of the White House while President-elect Obama and President Bush strolled past the Rose Garden and then sat down for a meeting in the Oval office.

1. I don't have audio at work

So all I could do was look at the film--but I found it interesting. The shots of Bush and Obama walking outside--Obama was talking, and clearly in charge.
