Obama hosts the Bushes at White House
By Russell Berman - 01/28/12 04:35 PM ET
Former President George H. W. Bush and his son Jeb made an unannounced visit to the White House on Friday, meeting in the Oval Office with President Obama.
The White House released a photo of the meeting via Twitter Friday evening, with the elder Bush shown sitting in a wheelchair. The former president and the former Florida governor were in Washington for the annual Alfalfa dinner, an exclusive black-tie event. The meeting had not been on the president’s official schedule.
Jeb Bush is in Washington as the four remaining GOP presidential hopefuls compete in the state he governed for two terms. Bush has not endorsed a candidate, although he has criticized attacks by Newt Gingrich on Mitt Romney. George H. W. Bush has said he is backing Romney.
The White House described the meeting as a “personal visit,” the Associated Press reported. Obama awarded the elder Bush, 87, the Presidential Medal of Freedom last March.
