This asshole, again, with the presumptuousness and the Abraham Lincoln fetish. Umm, a little respect for the current President George Bush and his accomplishments would be nice? It’s really just common manners to wait until you’re officially the black president before embarking on these quote-unquote historic presidential lunches. OH, but *god forbid* the MSM ever question “The One.” [CBC News]

Jr. is still alive?
Off topic, but important maybe. I made my first visit to Confluence today. As soon as the page loaded, I got a pop-up block that said “Microsoft has encountered a problem and needs to close.” And poof! I lost my Internet connection. Now who’s the terrorist?! Or is Microsoft anti-PUMA?
It was historic because they’ve never made a president-elect pick up after everyone. first black president mistaken for the butler. we have come so far.
Also, while all the real presidents were talking amongst themselves, Barry slipped off to the pantry and counted all the plates and silverware.
i heard they all helped him paint the oval office a nice negroid color.
Bush 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.” WTF?
Respect for W? AHahAhAHaHAhahAaaaaa
how come none of our former living presidents are fatties? you’d think they’d totally just let themselves go once they check out. our current and greatest president likes “running,” whatever the hell that is, and Hopey plays a lot of the basketball, so now we’ll have to wait until president franken loses his reelection big in 2020 and proceeds to gain 100 pounds.
[re=212106]american mutt[/re]: I was afraid that would happen. Obama should replace the White House staff with all southern whites.
There were many guffaw’s amongst the former Presidents when Bill Clinton started telling his Monica Lewinsky stories.
Every time one of these type of gatherings occur, reporters inevitably feel compelled to point out that the guest list only included living former presidents. Presumably this is out of concern that readers would otherwise conclude that the luncheon was preceded by a mass exhumation.
Every goddamn time Barry takes a jog, it is the most HISTORIC jog in the HISTORY of HISTORIC jogs.
[re=212105]Jukesgrrl[/re]: Wait, Microsoft closed down because of that blog? The entire company? Christ, that’s some powerful PUMA magic. Maybe they’re the ones holding our economy hostage (you know, hell hath no fury like a post-menopausal woman scorned and all that)
“The last White House event to draw the former presidents was a November 2000 celebration in honor of the White House’s 200th anniversary. But one of the former presidents, the late Ronald Reagan, who was afflicted with Alzheimer’s, was unable to attend.”
Fortunately, Mr. Reagan has since died, and didn’t get a chance to spoil another “historic” luncheon.
I imagine they gave Junior a juice box and turned on Sponge Bob for him while the adults talked.
Are they meeting in the Oval Office?
Presumably, they will discuss the “great things” they’ve done in that room. Now just imagine the awkward silence when it’s Clinton’s turn to speak…
[re=212120]user-of-owls[/re]: Given how frequently Dick Cheney robs graves, I think this is an understandable clarification.
Oh that’s right, Obambi, you’re an unqualified black man, so you’re just going to cheat by copying your answers off these former Prezzies. Damned affirmative action.
From CNN Ticker:
Obama Attends Historic Lunch
Obama Uses Vinaigrette on Monumental Side Salad
Obama Sips Memorable Unsweetened Tea, Contemplates Past Sugars
Obama Takes Historical Post-Lunch Shit in Prez Bathroom, Cameras Barred.
…I wonder if they “W” sit at the kids table?
[re=212154]problemwithcaring[/re]: “Obama Sips Memorable Unsweetened Tea, Contemplates Past Sugars”
So good.
Barry should marched in there and slapped the beady eyes offa that ingracious asshat; “That’s for making my family stay in a fucking hotel, shrubdick….”
[re=212158]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: …I wonder if the made “W” sit at the kids table?
According to Ann “I’m-so-anorexic-I’ll-soon-be-just-a-stick-with-a-blond-mop-in-go-go-boots” Coulter Hopemeister Barry has never been asked a serious question by the MSM anyway.
The Lunch Heard Round the World. Also.
[re=212178]DoctorCulturae[/re]: as opposed to the serious questions the MSM asked Bush when leading up to the war.
WTF, Bushwacker Jr took his hands off the country’s steering wheel back about last October, he should be kicked out early for de facto abdicating. At least let Barry run a lunch, it would be more than W did all month.
[re=212171]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Come on, you can do it. We believe in you.
In all the pictures I saw, Carter looked extremely uncomfortable. He also was standing a bit aways from the group.
Or is that my imagination?
What a telling photo. Even Daddy seems to like Obama better.
…4 white guys and a black guy sitting around a table? Sounds like the beginning of a racist joke!
What’s with sticking Barry in between two bushes? I thought that was Clinton’s preferred spot.
I assume the Bushes spent lunch flicking boogers at each other and only really joined the conversation when Barry asked what it’s like to be a war criminal.
I assume that George H. W. Bush and Jimmy Carter appeared as shimmering holograms, like at the end of Jedi?
[re=212132]Madeline[/re]: You know that story is not true, as Reagan attended plenty of luncheons at the White House when he was President.
[re=212224]WadISay[/re]: It was the only way he could get their attention.
[re=212132]Madeline[/re]: If Reagan were still among the living, it would have been fun to have him at this lunch just so we could hear him repeatedly call Hopey “Rochester.”
[re=212213]AngryBlakGuy[/re]: Something about getting the watermelon seeds out of the carpet?
[re=212210]hockeymom[/re]: Not your imagination. Carter and Dubya have carried on an off-and-on snipefest since 2004. Froomkin has a brief history here.
I clicked the link, but don’t have cable. Who’s the black guy?
As I read this, I listened to a laff reel from the comedy radio station, NPR. (Not MSM–Smart liberals’ media).
Without faking it up with a laugh track, they read a highlight reel of Bush legacy moments. LOL and kudos, NPR. Don Con-hardname read the whole thing without cracking up. They are so deadpan, they could give Stewart some lessons. Oddly, no shoes were mentioned but I’m assuming I missed the “stay tune for tomorrow’s episode” teaser.
And, of course, the Mother of All Lunches.
[re=212238]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Thanks for link.
Think Dub & VP Darth did Barry a favor by not allowing him into Blair House. Who knows what petty annoyances they could have presented to them. They will need a high energy witch doctors to purify the place anyway. Where are those guys from S.America? They have representation?
Is it too late to get Francis Fukuyama in the cabinet somewhere?
You realize that everything Barry does once he’s crowned King of the Americas will be considered “historic”. The first time Barack and Michelle make sweet love on his desk in the Oval Office: Historic. The first time the new puppy craps on the White House lawn: Historic. The first time he drinks teas in the Lincoln Bedroom: Historic.
[re=212120]user-of-owls[/re]: No Alex Jones told me that Presidents Nixon and Hoover are flesh eating zombies created by the CIA to help the fascist one world government take out the patriots. The press, which is in on it, uses the “living” presidents terminology as a nod to their illuminati masters.
How much do you want to bet that George Sr. said somethign class to Barry like “The White House chef can make anything for you. Even soul food and other blackie delicacies.”
If that did happen, I hope Barry showed George the pimp hand liek the did Lieberman in the Senate chamber.
[re=212277]N8Ma[/re]: They actually scheduled an interview, but then someone mentioned Wonkette and they abruptly called it off.
jebus wonkette, don’t look now but i think your liberal media bias is showing a little.
[re=212238]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Thanks. I often wonder how Carter will be viewed in the future.
[re=212119]Larry Fine[/re]: At one point, Bill leaned into W. and said, “I love this rug”… I shit you not.
Why link to the CBC, Jim Newell? Is it the closest media outlet that still has a DC bureau?
That won’t last. Stephen “Steve” Harper will pull the plug on CBC’s budget for Yanqui-based reportage, trying to ensure Canuckistanis don’t hear the good news from DC and then contrast and compare with their own morally and ethically bankrupt “government.”
If Canuckstanis were given the chance to comparison shop that way, “Steve” would soon be shacked up with his soulmate Aussie John Howard in Blair House, ‘coz they’d both be homeless. T’would be a fitting end for a pair of venal arselicking hacks. Let ‘em clear brush in Crawford for their manifold sins, followed by taking turns tossing Dubya’s salad. Why should they stop salad-tossing duty, just because they’re all unemployed?
[re=212298]XOMuffintop[/re]: That reminds me…do we have to start calling them “African-American helicopters” now?
I kept waiting for Bush 41 to throw up on Obama.
Are we still doing that joke?
[re=212398]user-of-owls[/re]: Actually, I just has a co-worker in my mostly Republican come up to my cubicle, look at my “Yes We Did” sticker and ask “So, are thay going to have to call it rthe Black House now?” To which I promptly look at his with the best deadpan expression and threatened him with reporting it to HR.
I’m not going to do it because his look was just to precious.
Back to your question, no they will still be black helicopters.
And after the lunch, Barry will take an historic dump.
[re=212390]Canuckledragger[/re]: Geez, I thought you Canucks were supposed to be all, like, nice and stuff.
Also. Look at how presidential everyone looks in the CBC photo. And then there’s Dubya with a shiteating grin on his face looking like a hapless junior spokesman who should’ve gotten out of the way so the photographers could get a shot of the actual Presidents. Boy I can’t wait until that guy goes off to Dallas to not drink himself to death.
There was a serious discussion of issues, and that left W pouting because he didn’t understand the big words.
“How about that Sarah Palin?” Clinton grinned and replied,”Been there, done that. She wasn’t as good as Monica.”
Is this where Obama gets the Book of Secrets?
Where are Michelle and the other floti? They could’ve had 7 and topped this one:

God forbid? I think you mean Barack Obama’s Father Forbid!
[re=212562]kingofnothing[/re]: That’s the drag queen reenactment, right?
I’ve found that eating Hobo beans for lunch do interesting things with the digestive tract. Will W let them use his private bathroom, or will they have to scurry down the hall in a hurry?
[re=212489]Elastic Syntax[/re]: And what does the Book of Secrets contain? I want the truth about 911!!!!!!!!1!!!
