Former President Bush and Laura Bush were escorted to the Marine Corps helicopter (it's only Marine One when the sitting president is in it) by President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. On the National Mall, people were chanting, "Na-na-na-nah, hey, hey, hey, goodbye"—as some did outside the White House when Obama was elected—sigh.
CBS News reports, "Mr. Bush met with supporters and staffers to say his final goodbyes at Andrews Air Force Base... Former Vice President Dick Cheney, who is in a wheelchair after straining his back during a move, was also present. From Andrews, Mr. Bush will fly with family and friends to Midland, Texas, where thousands are expected to greet him. He will then fly to Waco, Texas, and from there head to his ranch in Crawford."
