Obama, Bush, and Ex-Presidents Have Historic Lunch

CitizenSugar — Wed, 07 Jan 2009 14:35:05 -0800

President-elect Barack Obama, President Bush, Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton (that's all of the surviving past presidents) met up for lunch at the White House today in a historic gathering. Collectively the bunch has more than 30 years of presidential experience. Bush, who sat down with Obama recently, said:

One message that I have, and I think we all share, is that we want you to succeed. Whether we're Democrat or Republican, we care deeply about this country.

Obama said he was grateful for the opportunity to get "advice, good counsel and fellowship" from the group. A White House spokeswoman said the last time all of the living presidents got together at the White House was in 1981. Apparently, all five men, including Clinton and Carter, who are not exactly friendly with one another, were on their best behavior and put aside differences for the day. To see a short video of what the bunch had to say,

Should Jeb Bush Run For President Someday?

In an interview with FOX News Sunday former president George Bush senior described his youngest son, Jeb, the former governor of Florida, "as qualified and as able as anyone I know in the political scene" to be president.

"I'd like to see him run. I'd like to see him be president some day. As president, it's about service, service for the greatest country on the face of the Earth and the honor that goes with it. I think Jeb fits that description."

Bush senior added that "right now is probably a bad time, because we've got enough Bushes in there," but that Jeb should run for Senate from Florida. Source

Should Jeb Bush Run For President Someday?

Yes! He'd have to prove himself with a campaign, but he has all the right experience.

Maybe. We'd have to see him as a senator to know if he could take on the prez role.

No! His record in Florida isn't exactly clean, and we've seen enough of the Bushes.

Something else. See my comment below.

Guess Which President's Son Lived Here?

The only child to survive into adulthood of one of America's most prominent presidents built this Georgian Revival Summer home on 500 acres of land in Manchester, VT, at the turn of the 20th century. It was home to only his descendants until 1975, when it was purchased by a historical society; today, it lives on as a museum, preserving the family legacy. Can you tell me the name of his father, the former president?

Barney's Barking, Biting Mad as His First Dog Term Ends Soon

Don't get jealous lil guy! Seems like Barney (one of the two Scotties belonging to George W. Bush) may sense that another pup – one that we haven't even seen yet! – is already at the top of everyone's list. This pup is still super-duper cute as is his terrier pal, Miss Beazley, both currently residing in the White House. See how Barney greeted an admiring fan, errr reporter, this morning in the video below.

Is Your Mind More at Ease?

Is Your Mind More at Ease? Last night we saw history being made. Regardless of the way you voted, a great change has been made to our country. I know most of you were feeling anxious before the votes were counted yesterday, and since emotions are no doubt still running high, tell me, is your mind a little bit more at ease now that the election is over?

What Would It Take?

. . . for you to cover your wood floors with this JFK Rug ($2,000 starting bid on eBay)?

What Would It Take?

You'd have to pay me a lot of money to put that in my home.

I'd display it for Presidents Day!

What do you mean? I love it!

Other, I'll tell you in the comments.

The Long and Short of It: Does Size Matter in a President?

CitizenSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:15:22 -0700

Do looks matter in a president? Perhaps, though, you can ask the infamous JFK/Nixon debate match up on that one — but how about sheer size? With Obama's workout regiment closely watched earlier this campaign, in the face-off between 6'1.5", 180 lbs. Obama, and 5'7", 165 lbs. McCain, will the top dog be the biggest in the pack?

The New York Times took the weights and measurements of the men running for president back to the turn of the century to see if there's any truth to the rumor that tall men rule.

The results? Not always. Perhaps presidential shorter/heavier loser Ford is a little resentful that he lost his match up on the scale with Jimmy Carter, while Nixon was similarly shorter and heavier than both McGovern and Humphrey and won both match-ups.

To see some of the other stand out numbers,

Ralph Wiggum for Prez

Forget all this caucus mumbo jumbo, I already know who I'm voting for this election. He's bipartisan, wears a tie everyday, and despite his youth, is already at a loss for hair. If these qualities don't denote maturity and prudence, then. . .I don't care. He's a good boy.

Too Much Information, President Bush

This is obviously dated, but who doesn't love a good Freudian slip? Especially when we're talking ~~sex~~ politics.

She's Hott 4 Hill

GiggleSugar — Tue, 10 Jul 2007 11:50:00 -0700

Remember the self-proclaimed "Obama Girl"? Well, she has an equally obnoxious counterpart who has the hots for Clinton-- Hillary, that is. Call it a girl crush, but this politically-minded diva is after more than Hill's affection, she wants you to "put a hot chick in the Oval Office." Now I'm all for free speech, but maybe we can exercise our rights without the star-spangled bikini next time?
