(NewsCore) - President Barack Obama hosted former President George H.W. Bush and his son, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, at the White House Friday.
The meeting was not listed on the president's schedule, with White House officials instead releasing a photograph afterwards through Flickr and Twitter.
In the photo, the former president is seen seated in a wheelchair while speaking to Obama and Jeb Bush is perched on a sofa nearby. The photograph was taken in the Oval Office.
An aide to George H.W. Bush told FOX News Channel that the former president and his son were visiting Washington for the Alfalfa Club Dinner and Obama invited them to the White House to say hello.
Obama will speak at the 99th annual dinner on Saturday night and will be accompanied by First Lady Michelle Obama.
The aide also said the former president was doing very well and he and former First Lady Barbara Bush were happy to be back in Washington for the weekend.
Bush Sr., 87, uses a wheelchair and scooter as he has a form of Parkinson's disease.
