IN THREE WORDS

In this feature, each week I'll sure a weekly guest with you all,

In Three Words...

Jo Anne Worley 

PRESIDENTAL

I ran across this picture recently, somewhere, and for some reason it made me feel better, for a moment, that maybe one day, we'll have a president again.  This was a snapshot taken by a reporter two weeks before the country's transfer of power, mind you, peaceful as usual, from Bush to Obama. Bush, a Republican and Obama, a democrat met privately for some time ahead of this gathering. Then later that day, former Presidents, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton, both democrats and George H.W. Bush, met both Bush and Obama in the ovel office to discuss many things, past on advice, and pick each other's brains, and to pass things from each to the incoming President.  It was younger Bush's idea to do so, and it was the first time such a gathering of former heads of state took place at the White House in over 27 years.

The one thing I found about that day was a quote from President Bush." 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.

Boy how times have changed.
