Well, here's the historic photo for the historic moment in which--historically--all the living Presidents and the President-elect gathered at The White House for a Historic Lunch.No one's managed to break the historic news about what was historically eaten at the historic lunch. Alas. But the event did take place in a private dining room, adjacent to the Oval Office, according to press pool reports. And if we believe former White House Executive Chef Walter Scheib, the gathered presidents dined on locally sourced, possibly organic food.
The historic photo op was supposed to take place in the historic Rose Garden, but a historically bad rainstorm prevented this. Rain on your wedding day is good luck, so perhaps this is a historic good omen for Obama. President Bush wished Obama luck, too:
"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," Bush said. "All of us who have served in this office understand that the office itself transcends the individual. We wish you all the very best, and so does the country."
