41st President of the United States GEORGE H.W. BUSH autographed \"Official White House\" photograph signed with humorous inscription to famed movie Producer JERRY WEINTRAUB, acquired from the estate of Jerry Weintraub (The Karate Kid, Ocean\'s Eleven, Nashville).Weintraub and Bush were close, personal friends for more than 40 years. The Weintraubs and the Bushes became fishing and vacation companions, with Weintraub even owning a home in Kennebunkport, Maine near the Bush family compound and visiting the White House.
The photo shows both Bush and Weintraub surveying a pristine ocean vista off the coast of Malibu with Bush humorously musing, \"Jerry – Beautiful!!! The only thing missing? Yes a lovely environmentallyaestheticallyacceptible drilling rig – George Bush\", replete with Bush\'s own misspellings.The back of the photo indicates it is an \"Official White House Photograph\" dated 15, June 1991. President Bush was in Southern California where he gave a commencement address at the California Institute of Technology, played a round of golf at a private country club in Thousand Oaks, California, and attended a star-studded private dinner hosted by Weintraub at his Malibu estate.
