I hope he listens to Carter. He's the only one who won't be making stu*pid jokes about foot long W*e*iner*s and t*u*r^d*s.

Hope he takes plenty of Tums. Two Bushes are two too many.

Find a copy of "My Fellow Americans" (1996--Jack Lemmon, James Garner, Dan Aykroyd) and watch it to see how the conversation is very likely to go.

If Bush did one thing good for humanity, HE WRECKED THE REPUBLICAN PARTY. It may have to start calling itself something else.

Yes. Harry Reid, nancy Pelosi, and Charles Rangel are so wise and benevolent, we longer need an opposition party. One party rule, and Glorious Leader for Life. That's what we need.

Obama never ceases to amaze, good move on his part. I originally thought that Bush came up with the idea, but I gave him to much credit.

I'm willing to bet that the last place Obama wants to be is anywhere but dining with Bush.

jeez, would you people RELAX? ok, we can all agree, the guy was a horrible president. but you're just ad nauseum with these attacks. on and on and on and on and on. it's cliche. it's old. come up with something clever. the whole 'bush is evil' thing is just boring now.

he's out of here in 14 days. let's concentrate on helping the president elect right our country.

and as for your comment, how do you know what he's thinking? maybe president elect obama thinks 'hey, you can learn from mistakes. maybe bush and the other 3 are going to let me know some pitfalls to avoid.'

is kool aid all you drink?

Remind us kool aid drinkers how long it took for the reds to get over Clinton. Oh wait you still complain incessantly. Please don't give advise about "getting over it" as a re pub lican it is just too ridiculous.

I knew it had to be Obama who suggested this lunch with Bush and the 2 former Presidents ............... Bush, even with all his wealth is not that classy....­..........­........ The idea of a luncheon group such as this would never have crossed his mind

Perhaps at the luncheon Dubya will tell Obama the truth about why he and his family were denied being able to move into Blair house prior to January 15th.
