Wondering what the duo ate?

The New York Times reports:

"We had fish, pasta and salad," Mr. Clinton said as he turned to leave, smiling and waving at a few reporters on the sidewalk. "It was very healthy. Even I was healthy."

The New York Times Blog City Room has more details on the meeting.

HOT! Bill and President Obama! Bill looks great.

Bill looks good, like he's lost some weight and taking care of himself. I hope he lives long 'cause he's got a lot to do.

Great choice on going to Il Mulino.

[GZLives]

You think?

[corkonian]

Maybe Obama asked him how he feels about repealing Glass Steagall now...

[Chili4me]

Obama had to go to the master of damage control.

[flydoghead]

after 8 years of the Bush WH it is not damage control, it is disaster relief

[Val49]

flydoghead, LOL that is the truth

[Suntio]

Mwahahahahahaha, how true! Fanned!

[nwfurn]

[westreal]

I hope these two powerhouses are working on getting public option health care passed.

[frankwatson]

One difference between Bush and Obama! Bush went after terrorists. Obama goes after his politcal enemies.

[fya]

And 8 years later, where is OBL?

[FGW]

Greate come back

[nikio1975]

I was thinking the same thing. Where is Osama then?

[groosemoose]

Clinton knew how to handle the right wing. Hopefully Obama can learn a thing or two.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with our current president and a former president engaging in a lunch time chat, hell Bush should've done that more himself....

Maybe we wouldnt be in such a sad state of mind right now...

[k6007]

Carter's turn.

This is what our country needs: CO-OPERATION. Now comes the time for the republicans to find something negative from this lunch outing.

Where was the other "brilliant" man, Georgie?? Probably out "bahk ridin'" The conversation would be over his head anyway. Maybe this meeting was for presidents who actually were ELECTED legally, by the American people.
