Carter 'Snubs' Clinton?

Carter 'Snubs' Clinton?

January 20, 2009 11:54 AM

ABC News' David Wright reports: Today may be a day when the nation briefly sets aside partisan enmity for the peaceful transition of power, but personal enmity? That’s another matter.

One small example: as the ex-Presidents gathered in the crypt of the Capitol preparing to head out to the platform, a chilly day got a bit chillier as the Carters and the Clintons were forced to occupy the same cramped space.

Former Democratic President Jimmy Carter appeared to greet former Republican President George H.W. Bush and his wife warmly, kissing Barbara Bush on the cheek. But as Carter passed fellow Democrats Bill and Hillary Clinton, the two men did not appear to acknowledge each others presence at all.

President Carter disputes there was any snub and says any suggestion there was is “erroneous.” …

Recently, during a photo opportunity at the Oval Office, following a lunch with Barack Obama and the ex-Presidents, Clinton and Carter stood next to one another, but miles apart. Obama stood between the two Presidents Bush:

Yeah, that was a snub. Clinton and Carter hate each other.

Whispers in the hallways of DC indicate that the families of Bush 43 and Obama hit it off well. And that is a good thing – putting some of the digs in his inaugural speech aside. They were meant to appease the hard left, of which Obama is more worried about than the Republicans.

Reports are that Obama was taken aback to find Bush so likeable. Of course, it is easy to admire what Obama has accomplished…

And Clinton and Bush 41 have long since hit it off well.

Whispers are that Bush 43 actually likes Obama and may very well like him more that he will ever like McCain.

Clinton and Carter are another story…

Check out the video. Senator Hillary Clinton's reaction is priceless: http://abcnews.go.com/video/playerIndex?id=6689418
