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.

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

And Bill "any port in the storm" Clinton looks like he's trying to feel W up.

And at the center of that pic was our true Messiah. God rest his soul.
