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.

the president is attempting to bring the country. although the pubs bite his hand each and every time the citizens notice and money could not stop their vote.
Let Romney eat cake !
Well, well, Willard Rotten is still around? Who lifted the rock to let him out? McCain, was that you? Go back under that rock, Willard Rotten!
None of these comments matter!
That Jive Chump toasted any White House invite the second he started claiming President Obama bought the Presidency with gifts to minorities. The President has to invite members of Congress and Governors to the White House but not this sore loser. He doesn't even hold an office anywhere. Tell him to go preside over his car elevator.
Truth does HURT. . .
sonmanvb - you would know wouldn't you, lol
The president will do himself well if he not only listens to Romney about the economy, but accepts Romney's suggestions and acts accordingly.
You've got to assume Obama asked Romney for advice. What should I do? What were you going to do? I have no clue other than to keep taxing and giving to those who don't contribute to society. Please help me Mitt.
Sore Loser
So Obama who Hollywood has dubbed "Our Lord and Savior" is meeting with the evil, greedy, and heaven forbid rich Mitt. This must make you libs nuts I would think. What if Obama got some good ideas from this evil man? It must be really scary for you. Maybe Obama is just going to sprinkle holy water over him.
You mean like capping deductions? Which makes the rich pay more while still allowing the middle class to use all available deductions. Interesting idea, that Obama now wants to use.
Note to dems. The friggin campaign is over. You guys are acting like both parties are still running for office.
Your piece of crap won the election. Good for him, so what's the purpose of constantly bashing Romney. What did the guy do to you? Your problem is you buy into all the BS that gets displayed during an election, and you believe every single bit of it.
Enjoy your high horse now dems, you won't be on top of the world forever.
Your piece of crap lost. You guys are still bashing the winner, so what should the loser get?
That's because your piece of craps plans still don't work.
Most polititians are pieces of crap, welcome to the real world hoss.
Less than 1/2 a million votes, in 4 states is the difference in this election, and Obama knows it! Not even close to being a mandate! Total difference; 3.5 mil.
When you look at a county map of the election; 90% of the landmass voted for Romney. Obama won a few, well oiled counties in this nation; ones that get overstimulated with government pork!
Add to the fact Obama bought the Latino vote by executive order, and we don't even have a republic anymore. We barely have a democracy!
Check out a county map; it's all RED!!
Karl said it would be before your guy lost. Oh well what the hell, your guy is going to the WH for a visit. He should be glad about that perhaps. A loser by 1 is the same as the loser by one hundred plus. Mandate or not.
Problem with all that red is it's mostly haystacks and tumbleweed.
the menu for lunch will be Crow Augratin and the dessert will be KMBA pie
Frothing , angry teapublicans in the morning !!!
How deliciously amusing !!
I have to give the President points for following threw with this meeting..... but after romney blaming "gifts" for his reelection.... I would allow him to call me, Mr. President and show his losing ass the door.
Loser in so many ways.
Especially, reading some of these blogs are from big losers that cannot face the real world and don't do their part for our country. Just complain until they die.
.......or some losers that have trouble will simple spelling. "Following threw" ?
Like they say, the truth does hurt. Now that we have 51% that have learned that they can vote them selfs money from the public treasury, the US is done.
RED MAP
following threw --- following through, I did notice that, after the fact ... and thankfully someone came along to point it out. I am personally very happy, we have proofreaders working tirelessly. Intelligent Bald Head, if you have several days, feel free to go over the thousands of posts, in my history section. I am sure, my many mistakes, will give you hours of enjoyment and lots of warm superior feelings.
We also have a troll walking with us today.
sonmanvb - wow, just wow, if you call Romney "truth", I'd love to see what you call a lie...
I would guarantee the invite came from Obama... a man of true class and integrity!
Do you invite yourself to someone else's house or do you wait for an invitation from the resident. What a ridiculous comment.
The man of "class and integrity" that has been lying to the country about 4 dead Americans for months.
I guess the president is old fashioned enough to think the country deserves a visual of peaceful transition and something greater than crass partisanship. Amazing.
Expect ND to beat Alabama! Rather see this in the news! The election is over and we all get what we get. If the House would have been kicked out then change may have come. Time passes anyway and we are all on the same train going into next year. Its what we don't know that should matter as the time clock ticks away. Think we have problems just imagine the Civil War days!
Dougler, can you say President Obama?
President Barack Obama. What did that solve?
Can you say grow up? Obama is actually doing something I never thought he'd do, and actually try to be moderate, or at least put on that front.
Yet all the left can do is bash the guy he's trying to be moderate with.
Get over yourselves.
Clinton became more moderate to get re-elected and stayed there to work with Republicans, and was successful as a result. Obama should learn more from his supposed mentor. A lot more would actually get accomplished.
Thank you, and I'm so sorry that the GOP can not understand that things change. The Dem's have beeen under the gun since Reagan. Now that has been over thirty years and the trickle down effect didn't work. No need to hold on to that plan. To the victor goes the spoils. Time to try something new. Yet it is true that taxes and death is the American way.
Ok Gateway. How did it not work.
Go ahead, I'll wait for your dem talking points.
Also, explain to me how the european ideas that Obama is driving us toward, does work. Explain to me how well Greece, France, hell all of the EU are doing right now.
No, Taxes are the liberal way. If all else fails, tax some more.
Yet, many of us know that we can spend and apply our finances vastly better than any government ever could.
Taxes have been a way of the world before Ceasar. Time for them to go away now? You pay taxes in church, you pay the church taxes. Grow up and understand the world.
I never said there should be no taxes. I'll never say there should be no government. That's the misconception that Dems quite often have about republicans. It's not that we want no government with no taxes. It's that we want a non-intrusive government, and intelligence when it comes to spending.
Secondly, where do you assume I go to church? Because I'm a republican that makes me a church goer? Perhaps you should grow up. I don't go, hell I don't even believe there is a god, so maybe you should know what the hell you're talking about before you open your mouth jack.
It is a shame there is still nothing but unsubstantiated ranting through the blogs again. Some people just like to show their ignorance and no common sense. If Obama is smart, he will discuss with Romney a position to help put our economy and jobs back in America. But it seems like a lot of the comments people are on Freeloading from our government and on the backs of the true Americans that DO PAY their taxes.There are too many Socialist liberals showing their true colors that should move to Russia or Iran. Too bad people can't get over being the problem and not the solution. Blame is cowardly and a cheap shot with no substance.
When Obama can actually tell the truth, perhaps that will happen! Till then; Zero is on his own; and there ain't much happning with the economy since election; "except bad!"
In Obama's case; he's just a typical muslim; "if his lips are moving, he must be lying!"
Soups on: Called Tear drop soup!
I only hope they allow cameras at the end that will show President Obama waving to Mitt as they load him into his car and drive him off The Peoples' White House property.

Once again, another ignorant comment which merits no substance or common sense. Obama has proven he needs ALL the help he and the rest of the Politician's can get. There has been no headway in our government. Hostess having the unions layoff 18,500 people because these idiots would rather have 100% of nothing than 92% of something. But, of course these morons will get help on Welfare, Unemployment, Food stamps, Obama care. More freeloaders on the dole.
Obama needs Help ...Listen to anybody that has had success creating jobs as we know the president had no experience when he took office.
Well Mitt did create jobs, ripping other people off. Not only did he take their money he took their benefits also. Mitt has never been a job creator as far as business is concerened. He is a money maker, investment hawk. The job that you care to give him credit for are low paying jobs that you would be better sered as a student in college or living at home with mom and dad. Not for raising a family.
The reason he's going to have lunch with Romney is to ask his advice on how to run the country because he still hasn't figured it out. It would have been a lot more sensible just to vote for Romney.
Obama is a genius. He can't blame Bush for his four years of failure anymore and he needs a new person to blame his incompetence on. After the meeting he will now be able to blame Romney.
I hope Mitt has a nice lunch, quiet chat and in the end; Mitt ets close to his ear and tells him what a lying, cheating, dumb chaksucker he really is, and walks out of the meeting.
I hope they'll be talking about both taking leadership to put America back on a strong financial leadership role. The Domenici-Rivlin Debt Reduction Task Force made some common sense recommendations for comprehensive reform. Now is the time for both parties to embrace it. Search for the recommendation and read the executive summary. This solution would mean our elected representatives would have to adopt something that all taxpayers would feel some pain, but the economy and the stock market would take off and we'd be the great nation God intends us to be.
The reason Obama won was racism and heterophobia, pure and simple. The numbers were evident and no Republican candidate would be able to overcome them: 10% of the population is homosexual, 15% is black, and 17% is hispanic. That's 42% that are a lock for Obama, and that is before you add in pro-abortionists, generational welfare recipients, and liberals that would vote for Satan himself if he were a Democrat. That's why Obama did not even try to run on his abysmal record, he just continuously denigrated Romney and had massive "get out the vote" campaigns. He knew that if these people voted they would automatically vote for him, so all he had to do was get them to the polls. Facts are obvious: blacks are far more racist than whites, homosexuals want lifestyle endoresement not just acceptance, and a large number of Americans just want their handout.
Dam: you should move to North Korea. Bah; Bah: little steeple
