Presidential Power Lunch in Washington

Riptide political junkie Gary San Leandro reports that President-Elect Barack H. Obama is in Washington to talk with top Democratic and Republican leaders in advance of trying to push through an $800 billion stimulus plan during his first weeks in office. And on Wednesday, January 7, Obama lunched with every living former American president: George W. Bush, George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Bill Clinton. Wow! Wouldn't you have loved to be a fly on the wall at that power lunch!
