There's no telling what might happen now that Barack Obama and George W. Bush find themselves taking a long Air Force One flight from Washington to Johannesburg to attend the funeral of Nelson Mandela. In April 2005, George W. Bush invited his father and Bill Clinton fly to Rome for the funeral of Pope John Paul II. Clinton knew the older Bush well but it was only on the flight to Rome that he really got to know his son; they talked a lot of politics on the way over, spent a lot of time in conversation after the funeral at the American embassy in Rome and Clinton told aides afterward how much he enjoyed it. After Bush left office, the two men for a time became unlikely, part-time business partners, for a time giving speeches together for substantial fees, since two presidents, especially the two bipolar twins of the baby boom, are better than one. Her husband will join Obama, Bush as well as Carter, in South Africa.
