President-elect Barack Obama met with President George W. Bush at the White House as his aides consider ways to undo many of the policies put in place by the U.S. leader during the past eight years.

During a private meeting in the Oval Office, Obama and Bush spoke about the ``broad health of the auto industry'' and the prospects for a second economic stimulus package, Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told reporters traveling with the president-elect back to Chicago. He declined to provide any details about the discussion.

Obama and his wife, Michelle, also got a tour of their future home hosted by the president and first lady Laura Bush.

White House press secretary Dana Perino described the meeting as ``constructive, relaxed and friendly.'' Obama's transition spokeswoman, Stephanie Cutter, said the two men had ``a broad discussion about the importance of working together throughout the transition of government in light of the nation's many critical economic and security challenges.''

The Oval Office meeting -- Obama's first visit to the president's office -- lasted a little less than an hour. Neither man made a public statement. The visit took place 71 days before the formal transfer of power. Bush has promised to make this the fastest and most cordial transfer of power in modern history. read more
