The Ex-Presidents on the Menu

An entire generation has gone by since the nation last saw this tableau of American history: every living U.S. president together at the White House.

Picking up on an idea from Obama, President George W. Bush on Wednesday was hosting a lunch for the incoming president and the three living former presidents: Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter. It will be the first time all the living presidents have gathered at the White House since 1981.
