All four living former U.S. presidents – George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George H. W. Bush – will gather for All Together Now: A Celebration of Service, a gala that honors the importance of American service and volunteerism and will salute President George H. W. Bush for his leadership in public service.
The event, which will feature musicians and entertainers, will be held at the John F. Kennedy Center for the 
Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., on March 21 and will be broadcast by NBC as an hourlong special on Monday, March 28. It will reunite the four living former Presidents for the first time since President Barack Obama took office. President Obama, who will be in South America at the time of the event, will participate through his narration of an introductory short film on the history and value of service in the country.
President Clinton, who teamed with George H.W. Bush to lead the U.S. response to the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean and to raise money to help victims of Hurricane Katrina, will serve as the gala’s honorary co-chair.

Is this a joke?
Forget it, I missread it
no, but you are Chavez.
Chavez? What?
Anyone read the book by Russ Baker, “Family of Secrets?” If so, there is an immense amount of irony having Bush Sr “honored” at the Kennedy Center.
Bush, as we all now know, was in Dallas on November 22, 1963. As was Nixon, Hoover and Johnson. Bush Sr – though he continues to deny it – was in the CIA at that time and an FBI memo of his presence was released through a FOIA. The connection between CIA drug running through Arkansas with Barry Seal and others connects the Bush and Clinton crowd. Only question is, why would Jimmy Carter want to be around these people.
Hello in there!
What color is the sky in your world?
OMG, you must be joking, right?? He was an oil man from ’51 to ’66, wasn’t involved in politics until 1964 – as a local Republican head…. NOTHING to do w/ the CIA back in 1963… that didn’t come about until 1976 – 13 years after Kennedy’s shooting. Even if he was in the CIA, which he was not, do you honestly believe the U.S. government had Kennedy killed? I fear for this country w/ idiots like you bouncing around.
He’s an honorable and descent man, served his country in WWII and survived being shot down by the Japanese in the Pacific. Served your country as a congressman, Ambassador, head of CIA, President of the U.S., and you’re asking “why are we honoring this man”? Are you an insane conspiracy theorist?? Get a life… you’re a real jerk. You may not agree w/ his politics, but don’t be a moron ala Charlie Sheen.
You, my friend, need to stop the kool-aid. You’re brainwashed. This man is responsible for more horrors than you’ll ever know. Keep drinkin’.
Wow. Are you for real? Where were you when I needed you?
I like that he’s using a Conservative reference. Ironic.
Oh yeah, honorable and decent man. Wikileaks revealed what was previous rumored in the WSJ before the invasion of Iraq. George H.W. Bush played “rope a dope” with Saddam Hussein, having his Undersecretary of State for Middle East affairs remind Saddam that the US did not have a defense treaty with Kuwait and that Saddam should settle his dispute with Kuwait over alleged “diagonal drilling” to steal Iraqi oil himself. Bush was overheard telling Reagan, regarding the families of Vietnam MIAs, “Don’t bother, they are all dead.” During this same time, the CIA prevented Col. “Bo” Gritz from visiting Vietnam to determine whether or not this was true. This was dramatized in the movie, “Uncommon Valor”. Bush was also identified by the top warlord in Southeast Asia as a major contact for the herion trade coming out of the Golden Triangle. Bush also gave that famous speech about how great the “New World Order” would be. Bush once said, “…if people knew the truth about the Bush family, they would be chasing us down the street.” For once, he told the truth.
Dave do a Google search for “JFK Dallas Hoover George Bush of the CIA” there’s even a photo of Bush Sr. outside the Book Depository.
George H.W. Bush is one of the most evil men in history and he was
involved in the CIA brainwashing of Hinckley before they sent him off to shoot Reagan so Bush could become President.
Clinton and Bush Sr. really were partners in crime do another search for “Clinton Bush Mena, Arkansas” you have a lot to learn.
George H.W. Bush was part of the conspiracy to kill JFK and from there he continued to do dirty work. Before that he was working for the CIA helping overthrow Castro do yet another search for “Zapata Oil and Barbara” you’ll see he named one of the ships after his wife.
Wow… epic fail. You say he is evil but then you give a laundry list of patriotic things that he did that was good for the country. You do understand the meaning of the word ‘evil’, right? So Bush saved the world from JFK and tried to help the people of Cuba get rid of their oppressive dictator…. now tell us the evil part!
What an ignorant waste of air you are bushfaqqut.
Wow, that’s pushing it – the caption on the photo asks if it is GHWB, not that it is. They try to prove it by showing other pictures of him to compare. It actually looks more like Robert Kennedy than GHWB.
I said it on the internet – so it must be true!
GHWB was a failure because he was not a fiscal conservative. So far as foreign policy, you really happy with Barry?
Bunch of retards (or whatever politically correct term you care to use)
Dave, you will swallow anything…
You are so wrong about Skeptic- you are laughable, gulping down the party line…
You are so ignorant.
There is a reason why Carter wants to be around them, so he can prove that at one time he was president. His approval rating was lower than any of the other three. Carter was the biggest failure of all the presidents that will be present…… but you wouldn’t know…..
The fact of the matter is that most all rankings of the former POTUS rank Jimmy Carter well ahead of George W. Bush. Bush 43 will go down in history as the POTUS who squandered opportunities for American respect and regard in exchange for being dangled on the string that had the Cheney cabal at the other end. Bush 43 will be talked about in future years in the same conversations as Dan Quayle, more footnote, than being a forward and visionary leader.
Not sure where you are getting your info, as most of these lists I’ve read have GB43 WELL ahead of Carter.
Not that it really means anything since most of these lists are partisan in either direction. (Although I have noticed that liberals only seem to declare things that show them in a negative light as partisan. Conservatives are more honest in this case, although they engage in other problematic things.)
Carter was by far the worst president we’ve ever had (although the current one is pushing the envelope hard), but Carter was doomed from the get go. Carter wasn’t part of the northeastern liberal establishment – remember they tried to get ANYONE to run against him in the primaries in hopes of derailing his bid. Carter was always a liberal, but he was far more conservative in the primaries than he was as president – he moved left to get the libs in Congress to like him. It failed. Badly.
Reagan came in and saved the country from the failure of Carter, but Carter wasn’t alone in that failure. Carter is still to this day trying to get the Left wing of the Democratic Party to like him. He was a good but misguided man who ran into a buzzsaw, only to have those who should have supported him turn their back on him. Republicans were actually far more supportive of Carter, post Iran, during his administration than Democrats were.
I wonder why Carter will be there too. After all, Bush41, Bush43 and Clinton aren’t anti-American spouters nor anti-Semites like the usual type of crowds Carter smoozes up to. And by the way, please be specific in what you’re insinuating about Bush41 being in Dallas on November 22, 1963. Please tell us all here. And before you do that perhaps you would invest in a dictionary or spell check. Idiot.
MONDAY night???
You gotta be kidding me. NBC/Comcast appears to have a “Yay! Fourth Place RULES!” mentality…
You’re a moron
Oh brother. You Left wing nuts never cease, do you?
Really, George Bush was in Dallas the day Kennedy was shot? He lived in Dallas you idiot!
The suggestion that President GHWB went from fighter pilot war hero for the USA in 1944 to an asassin of the POTUS is ridiculous. You are a moron.
George H.W. Bush was not in Dallas in November of 1963. He lived and worked in Odessa, Texas at that time. He did not even get involved with Republican politics until running for Harris County Republican Party Chairman in 1964. He was not involved with the C.I.A. until much later in the mid 70′s. I keep hearing this story over and over again along with the one about him having Hinkley try to assassinate Reagan. It is all a load of malarkey, dreamed up by conspiracy theorists, who see boogie-men around every corner. George H.W. Bush was and is a patriot who put his country first throughout most of his life. Can you say the same??
Listen to the Nixon tapes. Nixon can he heard saying many times that “the Texans can take of this” or something similar. Bush was one of the “Texans” he refereed to.
I believe there may be drugs or electroshock therapy for your conditions of paranoia and delusional thinking. Was George H. W. Bush on the grassy knoll in Dallas on Nov. 22, 1963? I no, it was the Trilateral Commission behind that one…or was it the Mafia? CIA? Get a life!
Are you serious? I wondered where all my tin foil went.
or VICE VERSA….
wow … you are a moron.
Yes, and so was my uncle Jujubar Sr, Esq., soothsayer, seer of the future, extraordinary palm reader and part time psychic. He was still very good at the psychic gig, even though he only did that on the weekends.
He once told me, after reading my palm, that idiots abound. I was insulted! Then he told me that’s what my palm was for…to bitch slap them.
Who would want to be around Carter?
I did not read “Family of Secrets”
I read Russ Baker’s other book “I am Completely Insane”
I think you need to up the dosage on your meds
Someone is smoking lot San Francisco friendly substance
ummmm, it’s an opportunity for him to appear to be relevant. I mean, having to choose between doing this gig and maybe getting a couple minutes of TV time, and sitting at home drooling…..
Copy should read: All four living former U.S. presidents – George W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama…”
We can only pray Stan. Only pray. BUT I DO LIKE YOUR THINKING!
Five dollars says Jeb the useless will be front and center to suck up the potential campaign exposure. Ugh!
Totally agree. This is a strategic effort to set up the next Bush presidency.
hell, anyone would be better then Carter…I mean Obama. Both are the same.
we omly wish g h and g w bush were as inept as carter abd obama at getting or soldiers killed
I suppose you are unaware that more US servicemen and women were killed during the Clinton administration (accomplishing what might be kindly described as nothing) than during the administration of GW Bush, who only managed to rid the world of SH and end the nuclear program run by our kooky friend in Libya.
anonymous, don’t confuse the idiots with facts.
Why would they want to be around Jimmy Carter? I can’t believe Habitat for Humanity trusts him with a hammer. “He’s Rip Taylor without the confetti” His post Presidency of worse than his time in office.
Umm..who taught you English?
Who taught him English? Probably a union teacher.
Rip Taylor without the confetti. What a great line and it fits “Jimma” Carter to a T. The wrong Carter was president; it should have been his brother Billy. At least Billy wasn’t inept. Carter and Obama; now there’s a pair of dim bulbs for you. But at least it took four years for Carter to become the worst president in history. The teleprompter in chief accomplished that in one.
Carters post presidency is worse than his actually presidency was. He’s a crazy Ol man.
“Service to this country”… it used to be called treason, murder, conspiracy, fraud and racketeering!
And all the presidents will participate -only goes to show they’re all the same!
WE GOT ONE THAT CAN SEE!
Absolutely agree Graham.
Warners Bros – time to dust off the “Grumpy Old Presidents” franchise! It’s “Space Cowboys” meets “W” meets “Air Force One”. One of the White House chefs is wrongly accused of murder and all four ex-presidents reluctantly team up to clear the chef’s name.
They already did that movie, starring Jack Lemmon and James Garner
are you sitting down?
there’s a new thing called a “sequel”
this time we add Bubba and W to the gang.
GHWB is a great man and truly deserves to be honored! God bless this great American family. I’ll be watching.
What a bunch of conspiracy nuts… I worked as an Intern for Bush Sr. He was an acquaintance of my grandfather’s, as they both worked in the oil industry. He is a hardworking, patriarchal, decent, and polished leader. At every level, he has had great success — war hero, Class President, Team Captain, Phi Beta Kappa at Yale; multimillionaire; public servant; highly successful and underrated President. Go get a new hobby.
Yeah! He is such a great man! It was SOOOOO great when he raised my taxes. Bush Sr. can kiss my behind. He is nothing more than another lying scumbag politician. Only sycophantic lunatics would waste their time watching a group of lowly politicians lauding each other for hacking away at The United States Constitution and all of our liberties.
It was the democrat congress that forced Bush Sr. to raise taxes. They insisted he raise taxes in a spending measure to fund our troops who were busy pushing Saddam out of Kuwait. That dem congress would not fund the troops without a tax hike. Get your story straight.
And yes, because the liberal media never revealed the blackmail he was a one term president. He would never have raised taxes, but he sacrificed his political career for our brave, military men and women. That alone makes him very deserving of this honor.
While that may be true about the “democrat” Congress raising taxes during Bush, it was that same liberal-controlled Congress that significantly lowered your tax liability with the Tax Reform Act of 1986.
I agree, history is decided so many times by who is telling the story. Bush senior was very capable and his decision to end that war when it was over was also one of his great accomplishements. The media knows that, and that he was forced in to the tax deal with congress, but they still try to perpertuate the myth that he did the tax deal all on his own. It is amazing that he was elected at all, running against the democrats and the media at the same time. I was a democrat most of my life, until the past few years of forced political correctness and the total disregard for the truth by the media that has turned this country in to a bankrupt ship adrift. It is sad that we can not get togther, and work together any more. We faced down communism and put a man on the moon while having the highest standard of living in history. Now we fight over who is getting their feelings hurt, and cry over gas prices when we have had 40 years to get past being dependent on imports. Nuclear power is the answer but that damn political correct thing comes up again. They say it is unsafe while the rest of the world wisely builds power plants for the future and can actually realize an electric auto while not burning fossil fuel to make the electricity.
So “your” taxes are the horrible evil of old man Bush? You are not very deep are you?
you left out crook, drug runner, and murderer. Those are his hobbies.
apparently you were drinking barbara’s kool aid. to start, there’s iran contra. and if you know him so well ask him what he did with jack kingston’s investigation of the intentional release of a biological agent in the US.
The problem is that all the people saying bad things about Bush are media brain washed idiots. These media brain washed idiots think that if you work for oil, that means you are evil and don’t have a good bone in your body…. because that is what the media tells them.
Then they go on a Sunday picnic drive in the country.
LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GHWB a “good guy”??
Says who? Ever heard of the Bohemian Grove?
Cremation of Care?
Anyone who really knows the truth knows this is a very bad man.
Bohemian Grove? Cremation of Care? Is this supposed to be some evil tribe you speak of. LOL. Yeah it exists, has existed for well over 100 years, a group started by the San Francisco Symphony Orchastra which eventually turned into a retreat for the rich and famous. Dont hate just because you never made it on the invite list.
You are exactly correct in your statements. Thanks for the voice of sanity and truth. To those of you who have responded about how “horrible” Bush is……why not move somewhere else….no one is stopping you. Why would you want to live in a country where the leaders “supposedly” did the horrible things you are accusing them of? There are plenty of people in countries all over this world who would be happy to take your place in the USA. What profoundly sad, pathetic folks you are.
Bill Clinton is being touted by the Obama administration for inclusion in the Presidents’ Day observances. Hillary said to have it on Palm Sunday.
Hopefully someone will bring shoes to throw at George H & George W. Thanking them for the shitty hole they have put this country in. WHY IN THE HELL would anyone want to honor that Putz? Ridiculous!
Whether you agree or not with a President, they certainly made it further in life than you did and probably deserve a certain amount of respect. Of course I really don’t see much difference between Dems or Repubs. So maybe they just knew the right people. You need to broaden your sphere of influence. LOL.
Your mastery of the English language is nearly equal to the lack of knowledge. I understand your fear of shoes.
Sounds about right. Bush has the blood of millions of people on his hands, assisted in the assassination of John Kennedy, helped pull off 9/11, and participated in the bloodly overthrow of leaders around the world. He and Clinton smuggled drugs into the country when they were President. They destroyed the constitution, the economy, and American culture. No wonder he’s being ‘honored’ by former criminals.
Gee, did he personally kill all the dinosaurs too?
All the scientists in the world agree, it was high cholesterol and smoking that killed the dinosaurs. I have a chart to prove it.
I’m sending a $5 hooker to your place to give you a much needed hug.
Actually Bush Senior had a lot of business connections with the Bin Laden Family and helped arm Saddam Hussein. He is such a swell guy… (sound of me vomiting)
Shhhh. Don’t look now but he’s also the boogie man who’s been hiding under your bed and in your closet for your entire 14 years of existence.
George Sr did all of that? I have been blaming George W. all of this time. What about Mount St. Helen’s – plus that Bush Sr or Bush Jr?
Why do we honor politicians while they’re still alive. Let’s see, Bush lied about not raising taxes, then raised them and ended Reagan’s 7 year expansion, practically begged to stay on as CIA Director under – get this – JIMMY CARTER, and ran what most veteran campaign analysts agree was the most inept presidential campaign since Herbert Hoover’s in 1932. Finally, do we really think that George Washington, Abe Lincoln or Harry Truman would like having this kind of spectacle put on in their honor – not to mention the fact that the “Honorary” Chair of this is….ol’ snake eye himself, Bill Clinton. SHEESH!!
Why would anyone want to honor an ex President for service they were paid to do? Let’s look at all of our servicemen and women who are underpaid at best and all of the real volunteers doing community service – Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts and all of our church volunteers. These are real people doing the real community service in this country. Elites always honor each other and thumb their noses on the real Americans!
What a hoot! You clowns are steamed about Bush over imaginary offenses, when the clown in office today is destroying everything the USA ever stood for. Cover your rear ends, clown – because it’s a-comin’ for ya HARD!
Dicknose is right. You are a dicknose. The “clown” in office inherited every single one of the problems he faces now, yet still manages to move forward. That probably kills you white-wingers worse than 1000 papercuts. Even when President Obama does something I don’t agree with, the thought of him showing you people up fills me with warmth, your tears taste like a fine wine. I will gladly pay for mandated health insurance if it pisses you off. I only wish there was another Waco like under Clinton, you jerks need to be slapped the fucc down every 10-15 years.
Hey, Larry! When can we expect to hear from Moe and Curly? You’re a dimwit!
Sceptic you are an idiot!
Vran- right back at you-
Are so afraid of the truth, you won’t even research it- Put your Kool-Aid away…
From all of us on one side or the other, lets admit, the President of the US is by far the highest office in the world. The fact that the remaining 4 presidents would do this honor should mean something.
Remember that the US Congress/Senate rules the nation, not the president….. so complain about the democrats under Bush and the Republicans under Clinton..
Gosh……and give JFk some rest.
Not to mention head of CIA and wanted for treason by putting a price on Kennedy’s head.
Obama’s raising taxes, but your still got your head up his @$$. You might want to leave the mature discussions to the adults.
Seriously. You conspiracy theorists have nothing but one stupid Internet video to slander Bush Sr. with. Absolutely ridiculous. Drugs? No. JFK? No. Raised taxes? Yeah, and helped to balance the budget and usher in the Clinton boom.
Only all the past corrupt presidents are capable of honoring one of their own. Every other American now realizes every one of them warrant nothing but disdain and disgust. I do hope they enjoy their party.
At least it is not “W” being honored. That would be even more sickening…
George W’s toenail clippings did more good than you could envision. Get off the Bush-bashing, and your mother’s couch, and do something positive, Cletus.
Corrupt politicians honoring their own. It brings a tear to my eye and nauseous feeling to my stomach.
sheesh. it’s not as much as George w Bush’s fault then it is Obama’s. I mean we only had around 2 billion dollar debt with GWB but with Obama we are in about some what…. oh ya around 3.7 trillion dollars of debt. I honestly hope that America won’t vote him in a 2nd time. We wont be out of this pit for a long time!
