Last week's Living Presidents Lunch was at the very least an amazing photo op: Five presidents all together. We don't know what was said at lunch or what was served. (Any thoughts?) But it seems like a good idea for Obama to consult his predecessors on a regular basis. After all, they know where the bodies are buried.
Below is my commentary on the subject from yesterday's CBS News Sunday Morning:
Also, if this did become a reality show, what would you call it? What would the rules be?
Mo Rocca has appeared on a bunch of shows, including 'The Daily Show,' 'I Love the 80s,'...

16. If we ever learned anything from President Bush administration is never to pick poor management, just because we like their personality or idealism. Our country should be run like a business, and we the middle class are the shareholders.

17. Love ya Mo! (Really)
Well - let's see ... What was served? Hawaiian Barbequed Spam (more Spam is sold in Hawaii than any other place on the planet ya know), and Texas BBQ non-organic industrial farmed Beef(where a heated discussion ensued over whose sauce was superior - and if Spam is really a food product and who really wants namby pamby organic grass fed beef anyway). 2 against one on that issue. Razorback pork butt roast - Clinton liked that best, and Chicken Satay - Carter's Fav - peanut sauce, natch.
Sides included Hawaiian Macaroni Salad - a simple preparation of macaroni and mayo, Baked beans (with Beano on the side of the side - these ARE men after all...), Lime Jello mold with canned fruit cocktail - a fav in Arkansas pot lucks, and canned peach halves with cottage cheese (for the calorie concious).
Dessert was a lovely melange of cubed pineapple slathered in whipped cream on slabs of Sara Lee pound cake with shredded coconut, Pecan pie - the traditional Texas Dessert and a lovely peach cobbler.
Sounds DELISH, no?

18. Lova ya, Mo (Really!)
As for the discussion - they talked about what ALL men talk about - the many places the ex-presidents 'did it' in the White House (it's a BIG house, Mo). Which is info Barak obviously dosen't need - cause you know he and Michhell have one healthy 'after-hours' life (wink-wink trying to be discreet, here)! That bodes well for the country - cause as we can see - sexual frustration is not good for the world at large - witness the contrast between Clinton & GWB... Need I say more???

19. Love ya, Mo (Really!)
As for the reality show - I'd MUCH rather see the show "At Home With The Palins". You can't WRITE stuff THAT good! It's like the gift that keeps on giving!
(Hey, Sarah - would you like some cheese with that whine?)

20. The discussion about where the bodies are buried would be short - they are ALL in Cheney's bunker. The question would then be: are there any bones left - or did he eat those, too?

21. Reality show title: "Who's right, who's left"
Host: Sandra Day O'Connor
Who's policies will win out? Each will get to completely re-organize our government, in any way they see fit, for the period of one year. After which, a panel of judges will rate each presidents' organizational style, and the pro's and con's of the policy impacts. The final round will be the two highest scoring presidents, and they will set world policy for one year, with the same judging criteria.
Judge list: Rip Torn
Paula Abdul
Sarah Silverman
John Madden
Paris Hilton
Will Smith

23. The question should be does President Bush really think this ass hole will make it or put us in a depression which is the highest percentage I've seen around the country, here he has a tax cheat for the Treasury Department, almost had a crook for Dept of Commerce, whats next, got Sec of State whose husband has been getting tons of money from the rag heads, what did he promise?????

25. And of course Obama has a use for GWB.
As an example of how not to be president.
