US President-elect George W. Bush greeted the man he will succeed, saying as he met with President Clinton "I'm here to listen."
The outgoing Democratic chief executive said his only advice to the Republican was "to get a good team and do what you think is right."
Although Bush had pledged in campaign speeches to restore honor and dignity to the White House - a reference to Clinton scandals - the two spoke congenially as they met for the first time since the election.
He was to meet later Tuesday with his former rival, Vice President Al Gore.
Bush and Clinton were to meet for about 90 minutes in the Oval Office with their respective aides in what has become a White House tradition.
Clinton came out to greet Bush and the two then walked along the colonnade alongside the Rose Garden, then ducked into the Oval Office.
Clinton told Bush he will have economic challenges to deal with -- but a recession is not one of them.
In recent days Bush has suggested a recession could be in the offing.
When asked about that by reporters, Clinton says he expects the economy to continue to grow, though not as quickly as in recent years.
Bush declined to comment on the economy, telling reporters he's at the White House to listen.
The two met with staff members present, but were also to have a one-on-one session.
Bush's first visit to Washington since the election has been met by overtures of cooperation and expressions of good will from both parties.
After returning to Austin on Wednesday, Bush was expected to make more announcements about filling jobs in his administration.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It's vastly different. It's such a huge honor to come as the President-elect. And I don't think I'll fully realize the full impact until I swear in. I suspect the president will say the same thing. I'm humbled and honored and I can't thank the president enough for his hospitality, he didn't have to do this."
SUPER CAPTION: George W. Bush, U.S. President-elect
SOUNDBITE: (English)
"It's interesting, when I had this meeting eight years ago with the President-elect's father, he told me that the biggest problem we were facing was the nuclear program, in North Korea. And we were able to build on the work they had done and put an end to that. And now the big problem there is the missile program. We may have a chance to put an end to it. And if we can I think we should. But this is something I want to consult with the president elect and his team about, and we'll see what the facts are and I'll try to do what's best for the country."

Both had a sense of humor and took the job serious not themselves.
One was a war criminal and the other was a pedophile
Yeah, but only one of them was productive & effective. Definitely wasn’t Bush either.
As Bogart once said, "this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
Bill looks so high lmfao.
I know right!
"The definition of a recession is......"
Clinton, I’m not a fan, but very intelligent man and I was in my early 20’s when he was President and I already had an incredible salary , for that I am grateful
I was 10
He was good with the economy...
HN YS he wasn’t good with keeping his dick in his pants
HN YS he had nothing to do with. The economy was good back then because of the dot.com bubble
mariogamefreak1 the economy is bad and we are currently living in a global pandemic
Weird to see 2 presidents from different parties not tearing each others throats out
Yep and it was fairly normal in the twentieth century.
this was despite bush stealing the election in Florida.
Trump made america look bad
Bill clinton would have been happy to anyone who left him the Presidency
what a lovely couple !
So smart , so effortless
Found the recession quote ✓
I’m still looking for those WMD’s
- Mr. Clinton, what would you like to advise to GW Bush?
- I would like to advise - Do not reduce the taxes.
GW Bush inauguration speech
- We reduce the taxes! (applauds)
Mister we could use a man like Clinton or Bush again…
Thus began 16 years of darkness
hazardoustoxicity bush and obama sucked.
@@donald_the_savage1234 really
@@justsaying9189 Not really!! Bush was a wartime President. 9 months into his administration, 9/11 happened. The world changed there. But the first 7 years was good. The great recession in 2008 came and he had no hands in it.
@@donald_the_savage1234 No they didn't. Bush was a wartime President. 9 years into his administration, 9/11 happened. The world changed. He worked hard to secure the country after that. He had high popularity in his first 3 years. It was unusual even for a wartime President to keep it that high. In 2003, his popularity was hitting +70%. The first 6 and half years was good growth years. The Great Recession began in 2008. But he had no hand 8n it. Crooks on Wall Street caused it.
@houseofleaves12 not true. It was caused by Bill Clinton who created a law making it easier to get housing mortgages.
I remember this I was in 5th grade late 30’s and early 40’s
American often compare N Korea situation with Cuba, In reality N Korea is in grievous challenge than any other country in the world. Although they don't like if I say, but the reality is they build their social structure & economic policy in such a way that Kim can't even change that. Example lies in front of you, fierce warriors of mid-asia are now struggling for economic emancipation and they even showing flexibility way before you anticipated time frame ! So, my querry is if N Korea is privileged a little bit which is of course not little for them, what cost does it took to deny it if the deal is a honourable one !?
November 2000....
I guess W got out of this briefing angry that Bubba said nothing about regime change in Iraq.
From there that was top on his agenda.
Wasn’t W’s fault. Cheney and his goons can be blamed for that one. Besides, it’s not like almost the entire world DIDN’T want to change Iraq, especially after what Saddam was doing to his own people AND Kuwait.

Two quarters of negative growth

Bush: "Going to 1st talk to the forme...Were goin to War b*****!!!!"
I dislike both, but I prefer George W.Bush.
Should be the other way around. At least Bill Clintin did good for the American economy...
You clearly have no clue what you are talking about.
Why do you prefer George? I as a Republican still prefer Clinton because at least Clinton didn’t kill one million Iraqis over alleged WMD’s
The Practical Investor I hate trump
@@Frankieefootballmundial ok. I hate Biden then.

Dick Ghephart should have been the vp Al Gore and Gore would have been easily elected president.
Gore should have had John Edwards as his Vice President. It would have resulted in a clear win on election night before midnight. At the time Edwards was in his 40s and it would have gotten young people to vote.
