IT'S A FLIP OF THE COIN WHETHER THE LEASE WILL RUN OUT FOR PRESIDENT OBAMA IN NOVEMBER... BUT WHAT WON'T RUN OUT IS THE RESPECT AMONGST CURRENT AND FORMER WHITE HOUSE RESIDENTS.
George, you went out of your way - to make sure that the transition to a new administration was as seamless as possible.
FORMER PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND HIS WIFE, LAURA BUSH JOINED THE OBAMAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE FOR THE OFFICIAL UNVEILING OF THEIR PORTRAITS WHICH WILL HANG WITH THE OTHER 42 FORMER COMMANDERS-IN-CHIEF.
