My guess is the Bushies will leave quietly and not look back. What do they have to gain by being obnoxious? Whatever pranks they might consider will only make Obama look better, and they know it, IMHO.
I assume the AA pessimism level is a historical artifact--understandable but unlikely to pan out.
The Clinton to Bush stuff was overblown by Bushies to make themselves seem "adult". Obama's way too disciplined to make an issue of pranks, should they occur.
