When the Bidens host them on Sept. 7, the ceremony will look more like a reunion for the two men who served together for eight years, developing a close friendship “As you wrestle with tough decisions, you’ll now be able to gaze at this portrait and ask ‘What would George do?’” Bush quipped.President Barack Obama applauds former President George W. Bush and former first lady Laura Bush during a ceremony in the East Room of the White House in Washington, May 31, 2012, where the Bush's portraits were unveiled. “George, I will always remember the gathering you hosted for all the living former presidents before I took office.
“It has to be special for a former president and first lady to come back and see their portraits revealed… joining this gallery of portraits that are in the White House, portraits that they walked by every single day of their presidency,” said Stewart McLaurin, president of the White House Historical Association. The White House Historical Association has shepherded and funded presidents and first ladies’ official portraits since 1965, and they still organize the tradition today.
