Dead Presidents Need Not Attend...

There's been a lot of coverage of the recent meeting President Elect Barack Obama had with current president George W. Bush as well as former Presidents Jimmy Carter, George H.W. Bush, and Bill Clinton. I'm amused that the media has labeled this as a meeting of all the "living Presidents." Think about this for a moment. Aren't the only Presidents who could attend the meeting the living ones? It's a rather weird phrase that everyone seemed to repeat but few seemed to think about.

Perhaps Abraham Lincoln was hoped to have attended as the Lincoln Bedroom of the White House is rumored to be haunted.
