A very elite club

The five living US Presidents meet in the Oval Office. [Link]

Mr. Bush held the luncheon on Wednesday so that all the living figures who have sat in his chair could offer their counsel and camaraderie to the next man who will occupy it. Mr. Bush’s father was there, as were Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. And it was only one of many ways in which Mr. Bush, and members of his team, have been offering their advice to their successors in recent days, sometimes heeded, sometimes not.

Carter looks isolated in the photo. I used to like him, but the more he tries to push into international affairs, the more I lose respect for him. Bush 41 has the elder statesman role down pat. I wonder if he's going skydiving after this? Obama and Bush 43 seem to be sharing a joke. Clinton is just happy to be back in the Oval Office reliving memories.
