Today, Hillary Clinton met President Obama for lunch at the White House (Hillary Clinton GROUP)

[BlueCaliDem]

Just heard Rachel report it. It's the first time they met after VP Biden announced he wouldn't be running for president. That this is made public kind of hints at something here... To me, it hints where President Obama's preference lies, because those are some powerful optics!

It was lunchtime at the White House for President Obama and Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton today.

The former rivals-turned-amicable colleagues met privately for a 90-minute "informal lunch" at the White House, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest said.

"When their schedules permit, President Obama and Secretary Clinton enjoy the opportunity to catch up in person," Earnest said.

The lunch was not on Obama's or Hillary Clinton's public schedules, and the White House did not disclose what exactly the two discussed.

1. Wouldn't you like to be a 'fly on the wall' for this 90 minute conversation?

Of course, a fly not too near President Obama!

[Walk away]

2. That's right! He likes pie and can snag a fly!

[Cha]

7. Yes he does!

[Cha]

6. I think I prefer to be a incognito spider!

[BlueCaliDem]

14. Hahaha, Cha! Spiders are slower than flies, and we know how quick President Obama is

when making short work of a buzzing but quick insect!

[BlueCaliDem]

12. Well, after remembering my sig- gif of Pres Obama smacking that fly on his hand, I really wouldn't.

Hehe...

[yallerdawg]

16. Please keep that sig-gif standard DU size!

Flies would be appalled if you blew it up to your special smilie sizes!

[Walk away]

3. Great photo! His endorsement is going to make her an incredibly powerful candidate.

[BlueCaliDem]

13. As was pointed out to me, it's a photo of their lunch a few years ago, but there aren't

any pictures of them during this latest unscheduled lunch, and it's the picture ABC used.

[Walk away]

15. That's OK with me! I'm sure that 2 of the best known and respected people....

..on the planet, who worked well together for years, had a great time at lunch!!!

4. Sane with the sane

K & R

[Cha]

5. Oh WOw you got a pic! This has interested me since I first heard about it, BlueCali.. 90

Minutes!

Josh Earnest: "They discussed a wide array of topics,” Earnest said, “but this was mostly a social occasion.”

"Mostly"! But, not all! Thank you!

Gosh they look good.. Democracy for lunch.. that's what's on the menu!



How the heck did they get that pic?!

Hillary Clinton, President Obama share ‘chiefly social’ lunch as speculation mounts about a Clinton White House bid.

The Monday meeting sparked questions about whether the pair discussed the former secretary of state’s rumored presidential ambitions.

9. PS. This is an example of propaganda. Did Rachael use an old pic to reference today's lunch?

Turn off the TV.

[BlueCaliDem]

10. This is the picture at the link provided in my post. And by the way? You're in the Hillary Clinton

group. Did you miss that part in my post's subject line?

[Cha]

11. Nah, it's not "an example of progaganda. President Obama and Hillary had a "secret lunch" today

whether you like it or not.

The pic was at the link so I certainly didn't know it wasn't from today.

But, you immediately go to "propaganda" like you have some big Gotcha moment when you have Nothing.

17. Actually, it's not the fact that they had lunch together that surprises me,

it's that they are lunching outdoors in DC in December. Just how warm was it yesterday over there? I'm in NJ and it's been pretty warm too for December, but it would be too chilly to eat outside.

As for the lunch, they have had private lunches in the past. They have become friends.
