George W. Bush Portrait Unveiled: White House Ceremony With President Obama

- It's Barack Obama's house now, but his predecessor and political foil, George W. Bush, stole the show at the White House on Thursday with his wisecracks and grin.
"Thank you so much for inviting our rowdy friends to my hanging," the former president said, referring to members of his family and former staff, invited back to the executive mansion for the unveiling of his and Laura Bush's official portraits. "Behave yourselves," he jokingly admonished his crowd.
Bush told the current president he was pleased to know "that when you are wandering these halls as you wrestle with tough decisions, you will now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask, 'What would George do?'"
Free from the stress of the presidency and after three years spent largely out of the spotlight, a relaxed and jovial Bush came back with his father, former President George H.W. Bush, for a rare gathering of three commanders in chief. Former first lady Barbara Bush was there, too, as were George W. and Laura's daughters, Jenna and Barbara.
While Bush, Obama and their wives spoke about the warmth between their families, there was little of that on display between the two presidents. They traded handshakes but no hugs. There was little casual small talk as they entered and exited the East Room or as they stood on stage together.

Who’s here because they saw Trump isn’t going to unveil Obama’s portrait this year
Exactly why I’m here lol
Here *raises hand*
Here.
Yup!
It's annoying that he is unwilling to do it but I am also glad. Obama deserves to have his portrait unveiled by a normal president who can string a sentence together.
Had to remind myself what classy presidents do. I’m desensitizing with this new administration. Let’s vote!🙏🏽
Imagine a joe biden unveiling Obama's portrait
It's gonna happen
that will happen
...but what about Trump's? Will Joe host it or a future Republican President?
It did happen. Because trump refused to do so. And the portraits were just beautiful.
It happened.
CHEW BACCA 2012!
A Wookie never lies!
You can’t go wrong with a Wookie!
Wookie Wookie Woo!
I’m voting for CHEW....
How bout you?

Exactly, they should do a childhood portrait of Obama next for the White House gallery.
"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather the multitudinous seas incarnadine, making the green one red."
i am crooning Eddy Arnold cattle call song it just remind me of Bush drunken witty squint eye cowboy lonesome rider staring at the empty desert under the setting sun he always been one and only George W Bush so stand back and bow to to the comedian :)
Just watched the whole ceremony. It was full of respect, humor and love for America. It's sickening that Trump put an end to all of that. I guess his masters in Moscow ordered him to make America small and petty and weak.
THEIR BOTH RELATED IF YOU LOOK AT THE FAMILY TREE .. ITS SOMETHING BEYOND XXX XD
Get this one to Republican campaign to win swing states.
Well Biden can do Obamas portrait when he's Potus and not do Trumps
I think Biden will do both
@Yousuf Hassan Yeah, but I think Trump, Melania, the former first family and Trump's former WH staff will all decline Joe's invitation, because they are all dicks.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
Kill it with fiya!
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
Well... he was the hottest president we've ever had. Not the brightest, but definitely bangable. Why do you think Laura was always smiling so much?
nauort23. WTF?
nauort23 you're nuts
Bush had fun last night. He was quite likeable!
he don't look too good. he seems like age is catching up.
Vote for trump
It has been 7 years since you made this comment, what do you think now?
Should add, at least once Romney is elected America will have its first openly non-christian president. And the non-Christian candidate ran under the Republican party! Long-term, that should make America more tolerant and improve our image to the rest of the world.
It should also shine a spot-light on the Mormon faith, which is scarier stuff than radical Islam.
Every President has his positives and negatives.
Whoever did the Obama portraits should've taken notes on these. What a horrible artist, who did those portraits for the obamas.
Agree, I was no fan of the Obamas but those were just bad, no one deserves such painting
Ijujgahj Bujhedshi those aren’t the official portraits, those are the Smithsonian portraits.
Joe Biden is going to unveil portraits of president Trump and the first ladies: The first portrait is Melania leaving him with her son, and the second one is Trump telling Stormy Daniels she looks like his daughter.
And the one of Joe Biden is him sniffing a underage girl
