It's Barack Obama's house now, but his predecessor and political foil, George W. Bush, stole the show at the White House on Thursday with his wisecracks and grin.
"Thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging," the former president said, referring to members of his family and former staff, invited back to the executive mansion for the unveiling of his and Laura Bush's official portraits. "Behave yourselves," he jokingly admonished his crowd.
Bush told the current president he was pleased to know "that when you are wandering these halls as you wrestle with tough decisions, you will now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask, 'What would George do?'"

Ghettobama is a disgrace.
BTW, the portrait is outstanding. While the media has never been kind to him, I believe history will be. It was good to see him and his family enjoy this day. He did himself proud.
Which is why I still have a picture of George and Laura Bush hanging on my office wall.
That gong was way annoying. Trying to make Dubya sound like a vaudeville act when his jokes were low-key, funny and good humored.
Broken record here. Love W the man but W the politician barely had a conservative instinct anywhere in his being. But love his class and sense of humor.
Wow, it’s just such a contrast George and Laura seem warm, genuine...they obviously like each other..good hearted..humility, grateful
Contrast that against the current residents..lame ass attempts at being funny, attempts at being cool, taking over every television show from late night talk to sesame street, and Disney with “appearances”, scowling faces, self centered, narcissistic, overbearing, me, me, me.grandiose, ungracisous..keeping Netanyahu waiting, making the Dalai Lama use the back door, and walk by all the garbage bags..
Yep, such a contrast..
I saw some of that, and it was like watching an airliner crash in slow motion. At least it didn't produce dead bodies .... like Obozo's victory lap and outing the SEALs after they bagged Osama Bin Laden.
I guess his 2 Supreme Court CONSERVATIVE Justices who are holding this country together are meaningless to you. I guess his 2003 Federal Income Tax rate reductions for lower and middle class mean nothing to you. GWB has allowed me to keep more of my paycheck...
There were many things I disagreed with Bush on. All said, He and Mrs. Bush served the country with grace and class. Hannity played the whole clip today. President Bush handled the affair with class and humor. Obozo sounded like a buffoon.
We miss you, Mr. President. Thank you for your service.
I think Obama’s classless, self-serving remarks at this event were an astounding disgrace, but pretty much par for the course from The Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers.

Post 2925 has some good shots of the portraits.
Thank you so very much for these great links.
What class the Bush family is always.
Some of the Bush graciousness seemed to rub off on Michelle, for a time.
The contrast of obama and the Bush family is astounding. I believe that Michelle actually stood up to the plate tonight.
GOTTA LOVE IT!!!
humor and CLASS
Just as Mrs. Bush said it there today, that it was they’re home for 8 years but it was/is the people’s house..stupid reporter who wrote article above!
