Sought-after color satin-finish 10 x 8 photo of President George W. Bush standing next to his predecessor, President-elect Barack Obama, in the White House’s Oval Office on January 7, 2009, with former American Presidents George Bush, Bill Clinton, and Jimmy Carter also in attendance, signed in the lower border in black felt tip by all five pictured U.S. presidents. In very fine condition.
On January 7, 2009, President George W. Bush invited the former presidents and President-elect Barack Obama for a private lunch and meeting. The event symbolized the peaceful transfer of power and the continuity of American democracy, with Bush remarking, ‘One message that I have, and I think we all share, is that we want you to succeed.’ Obama, then only days away from inauguration, later described the meeting as ‘a reminder that we are all part of something bigger than ourselves.’ This was a rare gathering, the first time all five living U.S. presidents at that time had gathered together in the White House in 27 years.
