Story highlights Obama can be seen waving Clinton to the plane, yelling, "Bill, let's go!"

They attended the funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres

(CNN) We've all experienced the feeling of sitting on the plane, waiting to go home, only to learn there's one straggler who's keeping us from taking off.

You'd think that wouldn't happen to current presidents, but it can, especially when a famously tardy former president is involved.

President Barack Obama was seen impatiently waiting for former President Bill Clinton -- not one to be on time -- on Air Force One at Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv after attending the funeral of former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres.
