WASHINGTON President-elect Barack Obama hailed a rare Oval Office gathering of all U.S. presidents as extraordinary on Wednesday, while President George W. Bush wished him well and pledged that the office "transcends the individual."
"I just want to thank the president for hosting us," the president-elect said, flanked by former President George H.W. Bush on one side and his son on the other.
Presidents Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter, both smiling broadly, stood with them.

Carter and Clinton combined will be a happy memory compared to what’s coming in the next 4 years.

And we wonder why our nation is in such sorry shape. Take a good look at those goobers. What a sad and telling picture.

Serious body language implications here. Jimmy Carter is simply NOT in the ole boys club.

Just a PR stunt to benefit Obama who asked for the luncheon. Everyone except Obama is a stage prop.

If Obama ties his shoe, what would the media report?
“President elect Obama makes important gesture through unification of opposite sides!”
