Washington (CNN)Former
President George W. Bush made his successor, Barack Obama, noticeably
snicker at a joke delivered during Bill Clinton's speech at a hurricane
relief benefit concert in Texas.
As Clinton
discussed the importance of offering ongoing support to the communities
affected by hurricanes Harvey and Maria, Bush leaned over and quipped
something to his successor, immediately eliciting a laugh from a Obama,
whose reaction garnered much positive attention on social media.
All
five former living US Presidents attended "Deep from the Heart: The One
America Appeal" at Reed Arena at Texas A&M University in College
Station.
Musician Lady Gaga made an unbilled appearance
and tweeted, "Nothing more beautiful than everyone putting their
differences aside to help humanity in the face of catastrophe.
#OneAmericaAppeal."
The singer made a "generous" donation, said Jim McGrath, a spokesman for George H.W. Bush.
The
elder Bush followed up the concert Monday morning with a joke of his
own, saying he would have sung a duet with the pop star -- "if asked."
