Obama Lunches with
Romney As ´Cliff´ Talks Falter

ABC News, by Mary Bruce, Devin Dwyer*

President Obama and Mitt Romney met face to face today for the first time since the election, breaking bread at the White House as talks over the looming "fiscal cliff" appeared to be faltering on Capitol Hill. "I bet it was and is quite tasty," Obama spokesman Jay Carney said of the lunch as it was underway, "because [the chefs] know how to prepare very fine meals." The menu included white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad, the White House said in a written statement following the meal.

White turkey chili? Isn´t that a form of racism?

Everyone, check out the photo which was released by the White House. I was stunned at how tacky and poorly-decorated the Oval Office appeared! The super casual dull brown couch looks like something you put in a kids´ rumpus room. Is it just me.. I can´t remember the Oval Offce looking like that!


Reply 5 - Posted by: GreatPlains, 11/29/2012 6:14:44 PM     (No. 9040135)

The photo in the Oval Office shows a dominant Romney looking presidential and Barry looking like his usual slouchy self.
What should have been ..except for a lousy 320,000 votes in the Battleground States.
" The former GOP nominee arrived without fanfare or entourage, opening his own car door both times."
Typical Romney , unlike Emperor Barry .
This was clearly Barry using the lunch to show how bipartisan he is compared to
those awful Congressional Republicans.
Plus, he probably got pleasure out of taunting Romney by what could have been.

Zippy and Mittens hooking up for burgers and beer so Zippy can put some muscle on him to get his Repstablishment buddies like McLame Grahamnesty and Snoweball to roll over like good dogs and get their bellies rubbed and vote for his stuff.
I am sure Mittens will be a good boy and do what he is told.

What an odd menu. Bargain day to make up for the lavish Thanksgiving spread they put on for Mooch´s family and bro Craig´s entire Oregon State U basketball team.

PS. Good grief. The white turkey chili was probably made with leftover Thanksgiving turkey! Tacky, tacky...

Oh come on folks--white turkey has a symbolism all its own. And I wonder given the level of the cookery, if Romney was able to keep it down without a Bromo.

Why Mitt even accepted is beyond me. It´s all blue smoke and mirrors, and Romney knows it. There may have been some Congressional strategy behind it, maybe Paul Ryan convinced him--who knows.

Perhaps seeing the New Apostle, it will convince him and Ann to accept a long Mormon mission--outside the country. In all honesty, the mission I´d give him is to head up a multi-organization, wholly private effort to organize relief and rebuilding efforts post-Sandy, as the ARC has made a botch of it.

Romney looks like the president. Obie, a visitor from some other planet. And so cool, with his left hand in his pocket. Taking inventory? ("Are they still there?")

Mr. Romney was used by BHO to make BHO look bipartisan, flexible, and gracious within the context of the Fiscal Cliff. It´s the Republicans that are the ones being partisan and inflexible don´t ya know.

White turkey chilli for the Governor Aunt Esther...but no collard greens, chitlins, hoecakes and watermelon?

Wonder how many showers Governor Romney took after his obligatory call on the prez as dictated by his own good manners and the fact that he planned to be a uniter.

If I were him I would get out of Dodge quickly and where I would be unavailable for future meetings. He can´t really help much and can give photo ops for the Alinsky expert campaigner in Chief.

American Samoa would be my choice if I were him. He can afford to fly in the grandkids.

A race well won, a fight worth taking to the people but the illiterates overcame and trying to help obama govern to the right fiscally would be to be used and abused and wasted time.

I was hoping Governor Romney would exit back into the corporate world and make companies that pay their employees wages like Henry Ford did. obama used the word revenge in telling folks to vote for him as revenge on the rich?

Well the Obe probably had a hard time choking down whatever Romney had to say about bailing the duffus out.That was the real reason he was invited --Obe can´t cut it and needs a new blame target.


Reply 17 - Posted by: OceanBeach, 11/29/2012 8:03:02 PM     (No. 9040280)

Mr. Romney should take a lesson from Mr. Churchill. He should state boldly and publicly that we are walking toward certain self-destruction, state that he refuses to participate in that self-destruction, and go to Italy and paint for a year or two.

That way he makes a clear distinction between himself and failure. When people begin to recognize the folly, he will stand as a symbol of everything that is not Obama.

That is not nice decor. Everything seems jumbled together by someone with a taste deficit. The wallpaper is beyond brutal.

As for the meeting, it would have been nicer if Obama was showing Romney around the place in preparation for the latter´s transition into the Presidency. Not to be, unfortunately.


Reply 19 - Posted by: M Stuart, 11/29/2012 8:42:27 PM     (No. 9040338)

Why did Romney go? It is useless to demonstrate class to people totally lacking in taste and manners. Lipstick on pig?

A few weeks ago, BHO said he was thinkin´ ´bout a Secretary of Business to set a good recovery plan for the folks.
Let´s hope that if his idea is to bestow that title on Mitt, that Romney told him sweetly where to cram his idea. Nothing like trying to set up a GOP fall guy, to take the direct hit when the inevitable financial disaster happens.

So choreographed you can almost smell the greasepaint.

Mitt´s OK. He did what a gentleman does. As Victor Davis Hanson said, "Let Obama Be Obama" - he should own all of his errors, and there will be plenty before this disastrous term is over.

An obscure November 2012 Wikileaks email dump points to former White House counterterrorism adviser and now-CIA chief John Brennan as the person behind the “witch hunt” of journalists who reported unflattering Obama administration leaks. A little over a week after President Barack Obama’s reelection, Wikileaks released an email dump of global intelligence files from the private intelligence company Stratfor. One particular email, dated September 21, 2010 discussed President Obama’s “Leak Investigations.”

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama on Thursday is expected to address some of the thornier aspects of national security policy, including drone strikes, the prison at Guantanamo Bay and the dire threats Americans continue to face , even from fellow citizens. On the eve of the president´s speech at the National Defense University, the Obama administration revealed for the first time that a fourth American citizen had been killed in secretive drone strikes abroad. The killings of three other Americans in counterterror operations since 2009 were known before a letter from Attorney General Eric Holder to

President Obama will announce Thursday that the White House plans to lift the ban on sending detainees from Guantanamo Bay to Yemen, Fox News confirms, a move that could effectively resume efforts to close down the prison. That effort, however, has been stymied because many countries don´t want the detainees or are unwilling or unable to guarantee that once transferred, detainees who may continue to be a threat will not be released. There are currently about 166 prisoners at Guantanamo, and 86 have been approved for transfer as long as security restrictions are met.

Newly uncovered court documents reveal the Justice Department seized records of several Fox News phone lines as part of a leak investigation -- even listing a number that, according to one source, matches the home phone number of a reporter´s parents. The seizure was ordered in addition to a court-approved search warrant for Fox News correspondent James Rosen´s personal emails. In the affidavit seeking that warrant, an FBI agent called Rosen a likely criminal "co-conspirator," citing a wartime law called the Espionage Act. Rosen was not charged, but his movements and conversations were tracked.

WASHINGTON- Senator Elizabeth Warren has found a publisher two months after the Massachusetts Democrat began shopping her book proposal. Henry Holt and Company, one of the nation’s oldest publishers, announced it had obtained the rights to publish the book, which it characterized as telling both “Senator Warren’s improbable rise from a working class family in Oklahoma to the United States Senate,” as well as providing “a rousing call for protecting the middle class.” The book will be published in the spring of 2014 and will be edited by John Sterling, who is editor at large for Macmillan,

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

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.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

There’s really no reason for the press to suggest that the recent slew of scandals involving the Obama administration — Benghazi, the AP phone-record seizure, the snooping in James Rosen’s e-mail, the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups, and so on — are a confusing jumble. There is a very clear thread running through all of the administration’s actions: The U.S. deputy chief of mission in Libya, Gregory Hicks, says that he was told not to speak to a member of Congress about Benghazi without a State Department lawyer present, that he received a phone call from Hillary Clinton’s
