For the first time in over two decades, all the living U.S. Presidents, and President-elect Barack Obama, met together at the White House on Wednesday.
According to reports, Obama suggested to George Bush last November that it’d be a good idea to have the Presidents meet up for lunch at the White House.
It seems Bush liked the idea because on Wednesday the US Presidents met up for lunch. The day also included a short private meeting in the Oval office before, just between Bush and Obama.
This is a pretty big event, considering that when Presidents are usually in the same room together, it’s either for a funeral or an important ceremony. The Presidents haven’t met up together since a 1981 meeting.
Bush recently said in an interview, “It’s going to be an interesting lunch.” And although he didn’t have an agenda down for their topics of conversation, he did said, “I don’t know. I’m sure (Obama’s) going to ask us all questions, I would guess. If not, we’ll just share war stories.”
The others invited include Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton.
Maybe one day there will be a woman amongst that bunch or a Latino!
Even better yet, a Latina!!!!!!
