President Obama and Mitt Romney will meet for a private lunch at the White House on Thursday, according to a statement released by the administration on Wednesday. It will be the first meeting between the two since the election and will be closed to the press. Following his overwhelming election victory, Obama said he wanted to meet with Romney to discuss how he could work with the GOP nominee and Republican Party leaders on the economic challenges facing the country. Obama acknowledged that the two had “battled fiercely,”

Comments:

The only thing overwhelming is the gap between trash inviting class to lunch.

Why? Why would Bambi invite and why would Romney accept? If I were Romney I would never, ever meet with this horrible individual...not ever!

Romney should not have taken this bait. This is only to make Obama look good and nothing Romney advocates will ever find its way into Obama´s tyrannical governance.

Apparently ´landslide victory´ was out of the question so ´overwhelming election victory´ will have to do.
I hate the media.

I am sure as good a businessman as Mitt would not fall for any tricks...and I know Mitt is really interested in making this country whole and he is the man for the job...Zippy has no idea and needs all the help he can get....

I agree overwhelming victory if you consider the vote early vote often crowd, dead people voting and not to mention the voting machine "malfunction" it was very close and if there had been voter id and stricter voting practices I wonder ????

To be basic, Obama wants to rub Romney´s nose in it. Beating Romney unfair and unsquare wasn´t enough to the Perpetual Campaigner. Obama needs to perform a "it´s a black thing" dance in the end zone to further taunt his opponent.

Obama will have on his demonic grin, complete with his Mussolini head in the air posture. Photo op will become a SNL skit, with the old white guy wondering why he was ever talked into running against the cool, brilliant messiah.

If Anne Romney has a brain, she should tell Mitt to postpone this meeting, and never reschedule. Doesn´t Romney have a life?

50.5% of the vote that includes places like St. Lucie county Florida where he got 243,000 out of a total 177,000 registered voters, doesn´t sound like an overwhelming landslide. But thats the language of politics we are going to see for the next few years.

Mr. Romney, show some class, and decline the invitation from the kenyan klown.

The current vote totals are: Obama 65 million votes, Romney 60.5 million votes. That´s either a lot of voter fraud or a lot of denial.

Romney has not been elected by anyone to do anything. Maybe Obama will offer him a flunky job so that if the economy collapses Obama can then claim that it was a bipartisan failure. Remember anytime Obama puts someone in charge of an issue, if there is a success Obama steps forward and takes the credit, if there is a failure or if the results do not meet expectations, under the bus that person goes. It is very doubtful that such a meeting will be beneficial to Romney or the Republicans.

Romney should politely decline, stating that "I can´t imagine what we would have to discuss." 0bama has already shown that he has no manners and no class, even in winning.

This is a win-win for Obama and a lose-lose for the GOP. The GOP just doesn´t get it.

Romney is not as smart or as good as everyone insists. This amounts the same political expediency that made Boehner golf with and Christie hug Yertle the Turtle.

Whatever modicum of like I had for Romney has evaporated with this announcement.

And it convinces me more than ever that the GOP establishment is worse for this country than five hundred Obamas in office.

One can only hope that Romney will bring a food taster with him, or eat before he gets there. Trusting ´the WON´ is never a good idea.

Anyone else wonder why Repubs continually kneel before liberals? It smacks of dhimmitude.


Reply 19 - Posted by: thelmalou, 11/28/2012 12:26:20 PM     (No. 9037666)

Symbolic gesture only. Romney is now a pariah within the GOP establishment...they won´t have anything more to do with him, even though what happened was THEIR fault. I think he should go to the lunch. It´s the polite and gracious thing to do, and he is a polite and gracious man.

As an aside, I love how us tea party people were the solid force behind Mr. Romney and the GOP elites were the ones who shied away from him as the campaign wore on.

The Farmer and the Snake

One winter a Farmer found a Snake stiff and frozen with cold. He had compassion on it, and taking it up, placed it in his bosom. The Snake was quickly revived by the warmth, and resuming its natural instincts, bit its benefactor, inflicting on him a mortal wound. "Oh," cried the Farmer with his last breath, "I am rightly served for pitying a scoundrel."

The greatest kindness will not bind the ungrateful.

Obama in a nutshell.

The Eagle, the Cat, and the Wild Sow

An Eagle made her nest at the top of a lofty oak; a Cat, having found a convenient hole, moved into the middle of the trunk; and a Wild Sow, with her young, took shelter in a hollow at its foot. The Cat cunningly resolved to destroy this chance-made colony. To carry out her design, she climbed to the nest of the Eagle, and said, "Destruction is preparing for you, and for me too, unfortunately. The Wild Sow, whom you see daily digging up the earth, wishes to uproot the oak, so she may on its fall seize our families as food for her young." Having thus frightened the Eagle out of her senses, she crept down to the cave of the Sow, and said, "Your children are in great danger; for as soon as you go out with your litter to find food, the Eagle is prepared to pounce upon one of your little pigs." Having instilled these fears into the Sow, she went and pretended to hide herself in the hollow of the tree. When night came she went forth with silent foot and obtained food for herself and her kittens, but feigning to be afraid, she kept a lookout all through the day. Meanwhile, the Eagle, full of fear of the Sow, sat still on the branches, and the Sow, terrified by the Eagle, did not dare to go out from her cave. And thus they both, along with their families, perished from hunger, and afforded ample provision for the Cat and her kittens.

Really #11? Look at the PDF file from the election commission. There is not one instance where votes cast were more than registered voters.

U.S. military sources serving in North Africa are challenging the latest White House claim that the administration is applying "all the resources" at its disposal to bring the Benghazi attackers to justice, charging instead that the Obama administration knows who is responsible but is not acting. "They have let it slip by because of politics, and now we´ve taken all the correlation we had and dropped the ball because of risk (aversion) -- and now the security in Libya is more fragile than ever," one U.S. special operator told Fox News.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

During a panel discussion on the Department of Justice seizing the phone records of Fox News’ James Rosen, Bret Baier revealed that the seizure included the phone records of Rosen’s parents. The entire panel agreed the scandal was an outrage, with Kirsten Powers pointing out that there have been a number of high-profile leaks from the Obama administration, but the only ones they seem interested in going after are the ones that make them look bad. Charles Krauthammer found it amazing that the government would make such a “huge assault on the first amendment” in trying to

A liberal think tank with close ties to the Obama administration took money from General Motors and other businesses it did not disclose while campaigning for policies benefitting those companies, according to The Nation magazine. Members of the “Business Alliance” of the Center for American Progress (CAP) include bailed out car company GM, unsafe Bangladeshi factory utilizer Walmart, and embattled solar energy company First Solar, according to a membership list obtained by the liberal magazine.

WASHINGTON – The Internal Revenue Serviced scandal today spread further within the White House and closer to President Obama. White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

A senior adviser to President Obama mounted a combative defense of the administration on Sunday, saying the controversies enveloping the White House were the result of Republican lawmakers’ trying to “drag Washington into a swamp of partisan fishing expeditions, trumped-up hearings and false allegations.”The remarks came from Dan Pfeiffer, a member of the president’s inner circle, as he appeared on all five major Sunday morning talk shows in an effort to move the administration past what commentators have described as a “hell week” of controversy and missteps.

One of the questions was whether he/she was concerned about unsecured weapons in the home. Another asked whether he/she was "in a relationship in which you have been physically hurt or are you afraid of your partner?" Judge Andrew Napolitano explained that the question about guns comes out of a post-Sandy Hook executive order by President Obama, but it will be required under Obamacare. Varney expressed amazement

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
