WASHINGTON — That photographers' dream shot of the current president, the next president and the still-living presidents posing for a picture in the Rose Garden? Forget it! An unrelenting rain has forced the class picture inside.
In a terse announcement a couple hours before the historic gathering Wednesday, the White House announced stoically that "due to weather," the photo opportunity had been moved to the Oval Office.
President George W. Bush likely will take center stage for the memorable picture, to be flanked by Barack Obama, who succeeds him in two weeks, his father, former President George H.W. Bush, and former Presidents Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton.
It will be Obama's second visit to the Executive Mansion that he and his wife, Michelles, and daughters Sasha and Malia will occupy starting Jan. 20. Obama and his wife were invited to the White House not long after his election to tour the building, and he and Bush had a private talk at the time as well.
