Bipartisanship NEVER works

I keep seeing this idea on the TV news or on blogs.

I guess I don't see what possible motivation Bush has to involve himself in a smooth transition. From a partisan standpoint, the Democrats have dealt a cruel blow to the Republicans via the election results; shouldn't the Republicans be a little bitter?
And if Obama succeeds in recovering the economy, that would further the Democrat agenda, and darken Bush's legacy as a terrible President. I highly doubt Bush and Obama will ever be chummy.

Other than "serving the common good," I don't see the motivation for Bush here.
