Carter,Bush Snr,Clinton,Bush Jnr & Obama to meet: what will they say ?

[smitchy2]

I would say this kind of get together is quite common pre-inauguration.
I am sure it would be a light-hearted enough affair but experiences and advise will be given to Obama.
I do not think he will take too much of it though.

If we see Obama in deep conversation with George w. and asidiously taking notes we will know that we are deep in the brown stuff!!

Bush to the others:

"Leave your shoes on the mat outside the front door"

These things happen all the time, generally in advance of inaugurations or the opening of presidential libraries. See here:

I've also seen a great photograph of Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan and George H.W. Bush in the Oval Office, but can't find it right now

Also……how do they address each other at this?!

I can't imagine that they call each other "Jimmy", Bill, Dubya, etc - but "Mr. President", "Mr. President" would get a bit confusing
