President Obama and the man he defeated in the 2012 presidential contest -- Republican Mitt Romney -- will have lunch Thursday at the White House, Obama's press secretary announced.
It will be the first meeting since the election's end.
The White House said there will be no press coverage of the meeting.

I'm not sure what Gov. Romney has to offer but what the heck, why not?
The man knows business, so perhaps he and Obama may find some sort of idea to work on to start creating new jobs in this country again
I'm not sure what Romney has to gain...with any luck, Barry will ask him some pertinent and intelligent questions about how to get the economy moving, the debt paid down, the deficit replaced with a manageable budget, etc.
Better than the nothing Obuma remember solindra how about fisker and a dozen more of the loosers king Obuma picked I think he needs to help payback the taxpayer !
Do Obama voters know how truly stupid they are?
Nah, but they WILL see. Unfortunately when they do, they'll still blame it on others.
Don't get me wrong, I hope we DON'T get to that point, but sadly that's where we're headed. We shall see.
All we can do is wish them well...
Stupid? who voted for the loser? It wasn't the Obama voters. They voted for a winner. Who was stupid enought to waste thier time and energy last month, going into the voting booth, and checking off Mitt Romney? it wasn't Obama voters now, was it?
Why did so many Republiclowns actually think Romney could win. Up to the night of the election, some were predicting a "Landslide victory" Now, thats, amazing stupidity..
ShawnD, stupid is trying something twice in hopes of a different outcome
I would characterize it as hope over stupidity...
Hope was 2008.....Same old sh!t was 2012.
TheDougler
Exactly, which is why Obama got my vote in 2008, but lost my support for how he handled Obamacare.
Tired61 it's not hope! It's insantity = doing the same thing over and expecting a different result!
Empty gesture--trying to look bipartisan when that is the furthest from the truth.
obammy belongs on the View with other libtards. Romney clinch your buttcheeks tight unless you want a mini tootsie roll up your azz..
Big T, have you been drinking?
Ha, what a mass of speculation...here is my guess: President Obama now has definitive proof that Mitt is a tax cheat and is going to offer him his freedom in exchange for paying some really hefty fines and penalties, otherwise he will drag him publicly through the mud. That makes as much sense as the rest of the crap, especially that southern fried sheet from those demented Texans who post online here.
If that were the case, don't you think that Obama's friends at the IRS would have exposed Romney before the election?
You mean like the "source" that Harry Reid spoke about?
Your handle is appropriate, but look at the bright side, there is medication.
for Harry?
Obuma's going to hope that Romney will give him a plan cause ya know Obuma has none but Romney better watch out cause if Obuma takes his advise he will blame him forever so be careful Mitt ! Like I always say if congress or the Government gave a single care about we the people we wouldn't be in this mess now would we ? Fiscal cliff = more lies and deceit from White-Washington !
I hate to tell everyone , but obama or mitt cannot save america
Only God can save, but most people now think they can everything
right now i asked that every christian stop once a day maybe at 12:00 and say an short pray
for the leader of our nation, we need a miracle
Stupid post Lynn
American Taliban you are
So....Rob what about Jamie Foxx proclaiming that we should all be "greatful to our lord and saviour, Barrack Obama" is he a member of the taliban too!
With all these Republican obstructionists .........President Obama will be remembered as the greatest President of the 21 st century......
......................................GOD BLESS AMERICA.............................
Not likely....
Obama will go down in history as the worst President - passing Jimmy Carter - of the United States of America. He will be known as the "Great Destroyer" and the liberals who voted him in will go down in history as the stupidest, greediest, and the laziest mass of people in America!
I thought the senate was lead by democrats - the obstructionists who don't even bring budget bills to the floor for debate and a vote.
You know barry isn't looking for advice, whenever he needs that he goes on the View...
HAHAHAHOHOHOHEHEHE.... HAhahahaha...heeeeheeee.. (I can't catch my breath...) I never realized John that you were such a comedian...
The facts are exactly what Romney stated, he offered them more free stuff. He wants to create a country of people dependent on government. It is the socialist way. If it wasn't that, then give me five reasons why someone would have voted for him. And please don't tell me he killed Bin Laden, or ended don't ask don't tell or supports gay marriage. That does not put food on the table.
Yes, the problem is that Romney told the truth and people didn't like hearing the truth. How do you pander to a given group if you tell them they are looking for a government hand out? I think, after the election Romney was not surrounded by "consultants" (you know the guy from out of town who knows everything about your town but never lived there) who had to put the shackles on him.
He probably wants to ask Mitt how to get out of this mess since he doesn't know how.
It's simple- cut taxes and it will pay off the deficit. In fact, as taxes go to zero revenues go to infinity- they are inversely proportional. Buy eliminating taxes, we all get rich. Picture all of America, just one big leisure class. All of us living in several houses with car elevators, not needing anything from the government. Gosh Obama, don't pass this up! Also, Rape is a gift from God and we need another troop surge.
Also, the more you drill the more oil there is. All we do is drill everywhere and gas will be free. Can you believe we passed on all this free stuff?
MORON
paliban, you are really a dumbazz, go eat some abortion lazagna and drink a malt liquor out of your god obammys butt crack... sheesh
Obama, still shocked that he won re-election after his atrocious first four year and what it did to the american economy, has to eat crow and call Mitt Romney.
His first question, "Mitt, how do I fix an economy??"
2nd Question, "Can I please "borrow" your financial game plan so i can try and redeem myself and not go down as the president who ruined america."
Jim d'jerk
Bush goes down as the president that ruined America. Nothing Obama does can even come close. Your an a$$, do they let you out unattended??
Blame Bush. How original. You must be one of Obama's advisors that will never take responsibility for anything that you do.
Should we blame him for WWI and WWII, and for the Cuban missle crisis, and the Great Depression?
You need to stop watching Faux News then maybe you wont be so shocked anymore, because you will get the truth for once! LMAO!
Truth.. from where MSNBC?
Fox News, if you look at their actual news reporting (not their opinion shows like Hannity Limbaugh Jr) are actually pretty good, and are the main reason we know a lot more about what happened in Benghazi than we were led to believe.
politicoguy, you don't know a lot more about Benghazi. Nobody does. You get the news that fits what you want to hear on that particular day. Thats what we have now, news structured for all sizes, all shapes. There is no more one size fits all news. The days of Walter Cronkite, and Tom Brokaw, are gone. There is NO unbiased news. People watch (and believe) what they want. Whatever suits your style. If you think FOX News, with thier: fair and unbiased, No-spin rhetoric, is giving you the REAL truth, than you are as dumb as a stump.
As with the MSNBC, NBC, CBS, CNN, whatever. Its all pick and poke until you like what you find.
Its all about ratings. And each outlet has a demographic group, that swears by them in loyalty, and thus the ratings soar, and revenues go up. Its all BS.
I think you will find that viewership for Fox news is higher than 3 or 4 of the liberal slanted News outlets put together. I get my news from NBC, I then check that news with various outlets to get a picture of reality. What I do find interesting is that NBC news by far has more fluffy democratic stories than any other organization, the fact that they had NO articles or stories on the Lybian issue up until the election is very telling. I watch almost all of NBC's stories...except when Andrea Mitchell is the correspondent. Then I swith the channnel, she is so in love with mr Obama I can't watch her!
ShawnD
Hardly the truth, but if you sleep better at night thinking Fox distorts the truth, then so be it.
You are aware that Fox and CNN are the two that broke the story. CNN was handed the diary of ambassador Stevens and Catherine Herridge uncovered many of the facts regarding that the government had real time video feeds showing them that this was a coordinated attack and not some protest over a video, and the cable sent to the State Department saying that the consulate could not be properly defended by a coordinated attack.
It was after these two stations ran with and kept pushing the story that the Administration has been forced to actually answer questions. I saw little to nothing about this on any of the major networks, such as CBS, NBC or ABC, and MSNBC ran from it like it was the plague.
This is real news, and thank god there are still those that believe in reporting the news.
Shesafatone....... FoxNews topped every station with regards to election night coverage, including the major networks. If people dont like them, I dont understand why so many watch them. (Kind of refutes the points of those that claims Fox lies about the news).
politicoguy
Hey dummy, Fox does distort the news. Deal with it. Yes they all are bias, Fox lies just to be lying thats sad.
Go do some independent RESEARCH, I'll say it slowly R E S E A R C H. So many watch Fox because this country s been so dumbed down by the religious freaks, and their abject stupidity and the right's war on education for all but; the rich.
The repugnit's are making a big deal about all the wrong stuff, because they are a bunch of snot nosed losers. The goal should be to find out what went wrong fix it so no one else dies. Then go play the blame game. Rice had nothing to do with this cluster fk. Lets get it fixed.
There's blame enough for everyone.
Romlie will lie about what he had for lunch just because he can't help himself.
So Romney lies and the President just evolves huh? Like on gay marriage for instance? You libs make me sick how hypocritical you can be. Always an explanation/excuse for your side right?
LMAO! Your just a sore LOSER!
Oh, grey32 - I wouldn't talk about lying....you voted in a liar who has blood on his hands - BIG TIME. Obama is embroiled in the biggest cover up - and all to save his election. I guess four American deaths were worth it to him.
Nah dude that's reality it's just that you libs can't handle the truth!
Jules4ndyou are so in denial you have to make up nonsense or did you get that from Faux News poor baby! Obviously the majority of Americans think NOT! Please go back to faux news and spread your lies they will take it as truth and you can continue to deny and we here will be happy because your not wasting our time anymore......now there's a plan!
Super Bon - Obama is a liar and there is a coverup involved. He did go to bed while Americans were being savagely murdered. He did not sent help when they were begging for help. Instead, he went on the campaign trail. Facts. Deal with it.
Romney has a pimple on his azz that is much more intelligent than obammy...
Apparently not so...... just in case your watching faux news OBAMA won! Sore loser!!!! LMAO!
Intelligence has nothing to do with whether or not you can convince people you will better provide for them as was done by Obama. Having a better campaign and having a news media that is in full support of your campaign does not make one smart.
Mitt so much wanted to go to the White House and now he has his chance. I expect that Romney will pledge to help the President any way he can (of course he won't be able to find any way) as the loser usually does for the winner. It is protocal and makes everyone feel better.
Fortunately in America, while we fight tooth and nail during elections we are not prone to assassinations or coup d'etat kind of things as in other parts of the world.
@theboys - the name is appropriate as you are a little boy in your thinking. You are a true republican things don't go your way you deny, deny, deny. So sad for you, but not that sad! YOU LOST!!!!! BIG TIME!!!! Face up to it or stay a loser like your party! Personally I love that most republicans are in denial it makes all the other elections to come a piece of cake! The majority of Americans do NOT agree with your party and they will LOSE again and again until you get it! LMAO!
@Super - The entire USA lost!
Super Bon, you are so right....can we repubs blame it on Bush too? deny, deny, deny my @ss loser!
READ POST 248
You lost!!!!! Obama won! I just can't say it enough lah lah!
Super, most low life under achieving mooches like yourself I'm sure are happy.
God Bless President Barrack Hussein Obama.....the greatest President this country has ever seen!
You failed to mention that he is also the greatest liar this country has ever seen. You wanna put that on his resume??????
Yep - Obama the Great Destroyer! Hail, Obama - the dirtiest president ever voted into office....
There I corrected it for you now we're in full agreement.
Wow... you smacked your head on something really hard, and should go seek medical help immediately.
Isn't it so funny to see all the losers on here still pouting. I love it! LMAO! Cry me a river LOSERS! All your crap talk went down the drain losers.... nothing you say will ever change that! Obama is the president like it or not ha ha ha!!!!!!!!!!
Crap talk? you don't agree he is a socialist Super Bon? Hell I thought that is why you libs voted him in? If not, WHY?
You are ignorant, you don't even know what a socialist is numbnut! I am a Independent by the way. Sorry you lost but buck up and be a man!
Super Bon, I could give a flying #%$@ what you say you are because to me your a douche bag!
Super Bon - do you consider yourself independent because the democrat party is too far right for you?
Angry home school crowd, pull out your investments (if you have any) and compare to 4 years ago.
Pull out your 2008 taxes, compare to 2012 (assuming you were not on unemployment because a rich guy farmed out your job.) Bet you are better off now. And, in 4 years when the economy is rocking, repubs will make a big comeback.
True, they may have to toss a few evangelicals but they did it this year anyhow. Now, snuff out that cig and invest your Tattoo money in some stocks. Be a businessman for once, stupid won't help you.
Paliban - you aren't biased against "home schoolers" are you? Aren't you libs supposed to be loving and kind? You libs are the worst when it comes to intolerance of someone who doesn't embrace YOUR beliefs....hypocrites.
Uber-Libs dont want home school and dont want school vouchers or to have any choice on where to send your children for schooling.
Yeah Paliban just because your parents were drunks and couldn't stay coherent enough to home school you don't be hate'in on everyone else.
Poor baby! You lost Obama is president turn the channel and you will see. LMAO!!!!
Super Bon, dude your moms call'in go home.
politicoguy: Uber-Libs dont want home school and dont want school vouchers or to have any choice on where to send your children for indoctrination.
I made a correction for you. Hope you don't mind.
They cant feed homeschooled people the liberal mantra from 1st grade on, which is why they hate Charter and Homeschoolers.
62 million eligible voters voted for Obama, 58 million eligible voters voted or Romney, and 8 million eligible voters either voted for another candidate or did not vote at all. That means that roughly 52% of eligible voters voted AGAINST Obama while 48% voted for Obama. That is hardly what I would call a mandate and over half of ALL eligible voters are UNHAPPY with the outcome of the election. So, no. Romney nor the Republicans should eat crow. Anyone with even a modicum of intelligence knows that Obama and the Liberals have a tough row to hoe when more than 1/2 of the voters in the country will be keeping score and rounding up more support for those who are conservative and DO NOT support the Liberal agenda to unseat the Obama supporters (Democrats, RINO's, Independents) in the next congressional elections in 2 years. You cannot write off over 1/2 the voters in this country as just 'sore losers'. Whether the more than 1/2 are Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, Constitutionalists, Green Party, Tea Party, or whatever, they cannot and should not be discounted. This country WILL NOT survive without them.
who is getting all the free stuff. I have a friend that is out of working drawing some unemployment
so she goes to see if she can get some food stamps, they gave her 18.00 a month
does this sound right.
Lynn - have your friend call the White House. Obama will help her out.
Lynn, tell her to fake a limp and disability will arrive shortly.
She wont be drawing UE for long. It goes back to 27 months on Jan1st! I still say..... let the Cliff fall happen and all republicans vote present. Let them have all they want, by 2014 mid terms everything will be flatlined. Take every penny the "rich" have please the sooner the better. We dont want to stretch out past mid terms by prolonging this.
Maybe Obama will feed the Mittwit to the ravens for lunch, thats what they really meant to say. Caw!Caw!Caw!
