Including the one who screwed everything up?

Sheez, GWB had it sweet - being handed a massive surplus by Clinton (who, it should be noted, exited office with a 66% approval rating).

Now GWB is handing a nightmare over to Obama......

“One message that I have and I think we all share is that we want you to succeed."

I guess we can safely assume that George Bush is not a JT poster in his spare time then.

This story is boring. I heard somewhere else that the 5 gentlemen in question engaged in some horsing around after the meal. "Twister" in the Oval Office was one game, while they also tried hide and seek. Unfortunately, during the game of hide and seek, Clinton was found hiding under the desk in the Oval Office hunched down in a Monica Position. Meanwhile, GW was found with in the Rose Garden with his head in the ground (like an ostrich). Also, papa Bush could not find Barry Obama because he was hiding in plain site as one of the White House waiters.

"Bush, blistered without mercy by Obama during the campaign season, played the gracious host"

Bush has class.

sarge: "Bush has class."

With only a few days left? perhaps. Too bad he had zero during his presidency.

More lunches with former presidents, the better for Obama. President Obama has 12 days to go only.

bush, class? He flunked that test a long time ago.

Dinner converaation . . .

Carter, well I keep my nobel in a safe.

Poppy Bush, Read my lips, no new taxes.

Clinton, hey junior, what happened to that huge surplus I left you . . .

Junior, mission accomplished!

Obama, only a screw up like junior could have made me president after him.

Dinner conversation.......

Carter- Peace , say ,is just like growing peanuts in the Georgia plains. I'm the most peacful president ever.

Bush- Peace, look at the future peace I have made in Iraq and afghanistan . I'm the best president ever.

Clinton- I made huge surplus big bang bucks and economic peace, during my adminstration. I'm the best.

Obama- Peace is not black or white, like in my peaceful Hawaii. I will be best president ever, I will change the seas to shining peace seas.

"bush has class."

That's exactly why he blocked the Obama family from staying at the Blair House prior to taking over the White House.

Yeah, stay "classy" w.

Timorborder you're correct there was so joking around and I liked Clinton's remark was the best: "I do love this rug" He was commenting on the rug that Laura Bush selected that GWB always comments on.
