4 Presidents and 4 First Ladies Honored Barbara Bush in This Incredible Photo
It's not often you get past Presidents in the same room—and sometimes, with our political climate, the chances of everyone coming together like that seem close to zero. But such moments do exist—remember when five living former Presidents came together for hurricane relief last October? They looked like they were having a pretty great time, too.
Well, it's happened again—with the addition of one very notable person from the current administration. At former First Lady Barbara Bush's funeral on Sunday, former Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama gathered for a photo together. But also, notably, joining the picture were Former First Ladies Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton (who was also very close to being President!), and Michelle Obama—as well as First Lady Melania Trump representing the current administration.
The best part? Even given the solemn context for the photo, everyone looks like they're genuinely enjoying each other's company (look at Melania's smile!). Of course, everyone's going to agree with each of the ideologies or decisions the individuals in the photo have made. Regardless, it's beyond refreshing to see these historic figures as people, not their politics—and it's a reminder to all of us that maybe we can find some commonalities too.
The photo's quickly gone viral on Twitter since, with many Americans on both sides of the aisle feeling their spirits lifted by this historic coming-together.
