George W. Bush’s Belly Tap of Barack Obama Goes Viral
George W. Bush is giving a new meaning to the presidential hello.
The former president was one of several U.S. leaders who attended the funeral of Jimmy Carter at the Washington National Cathedral on Jan. 9, and folks could not get enough of the moment he shared with Barack Obama.
