All the President-Elect's Men
President-elect Barack Obama visited the White House today to have lunch with President George W. Bush, and former Commanders-in-Chief Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
The presidential luncheon marked the first time since 1981 that all the living ex-presidents gathered in the Oval Office. Obama released a statement to AP about the lunch, saying, "I just want to thank the President for hosting us. This is an extraordinary gathering. All the gentlemen here understand the pressures and possibilities of this office, and for me to have the opportunity to get advice, good counsel and fellowship with these individuals is extraordinary, and I'm very grateful to all of them, but again, thank you, Mr. President, for hosting us."
Barack's inauguration will be held Tuesday, January 20.

President Obama is the greatest of all the men. He is the tallest, the most handsome, the most intelligent and the most liked of all five. None of them even comes close to him. I bet they are all secretly jealous of him on the inside. None of them ever enjoyed the kind of affection the American public has showered on Obama. They all want to be friends with Obama because they know he is going to be the greatest President in US history.
