Don’t spoil your appetite: Romney spotted at McDonald’s ahead of lunch with Obama



Mitt Romney loves his McDonald’s and has said so on many occasions. In fact, he often used a card his father got for helping out the McDonald’s founders to get free hamburgers for life.

It’s unclear exactly when Romney was buying this burger (the picture was posted on Reddit at about 2 a.m. ET), but hopefully it didn’t ruin his appetite when he met for lunch with U.S. President Barack Obama today.

Bitter campaign foes just weeks ago, Obama and Romney sat down with an eye on overlapping interests rather than the sharp differences that defined their presidential contest.

In their first meeting since the election, Obama and the Republican nominee met in the White House’s private dining room, fulfilling a promise Obama made in his victory speech the night of Nov. 6.
