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. Bush called his visit with Clinton "a high-energy moment." He later met with his former rival, Vice President Al Gore, who strode through falling snow outside his home to greet Bush with a prolonged handshake and pat on the back. The two met for less than 20 minutes. "We're going to have a private discussion," Gore said when asked about his advice for Bush.

A handful of Gore supporters awaited Bush, several of whom waved signs saying "Hail to the Thief and "Wanted for Murder," a reference to Bush's role in death penalty executions in Texas, where he has been governor since 1995. Bush and Clinton met first in the Oval Office for an hour and then walked over to the residence where they talked over lunch in the family dining room for about 70 minutes. They were alone most of the time. "The president told me that they covered primarily foreign policy," presidential spokesman Jake Siewert said.
