Mr. President Times Five

The Washington Post called it "Presidents' Day at the White House" as the current president, the three living former presidents and President-Elect Barack Obama met for 90 minutes over lunch. Obama requested the meeting -- the first White House gathering of all living U.S. presidents since the early 1980s. The Globe and Mail of Toronto called it "The fraternity of five." Newsday simply said, "Power Lunch." Pictures of the group -- George H.W. Bush, Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter -- made front pages far from Washington, including in South America and Europe.
