It has been a tradition for the outgoing U.S. President to leave a note for his successor in the top drawer of his desk in the Oval Office. We have received an e-mail message from an outgoing Bush staffer with Minnesota connections that contains the entire text of President George W. Bush's
three letters to President Barack Obama, each in its own numbered, sealed envelope:
Letter #1
Dear President Obama:
If you are reading this letter, you have been sworn in as the 44th President of the United States of America. Congratulations. My advice to you in your first year in office is this: Whenever something goes wrong, blame it on me.
If things are still going badly on January 20, 2010, please open Letter #2.
Letter #2

If you are reading this letter, things have not gone so well in your first year in office. My advice to you in 2010 is this: Whenever something goes wrong, blame Congress.
If things are still going badly on January 20, 2011, please open Letter #3.
Letter #3

If you are reading this letter, things are not going well for your administration, and even your reelection now appears in doubt.
My advice to you in 2011 is this: Prepare three letters.
