The Civilest of Uncivil Lunches
posted by PAUL CONSTANT on THU, NOV 29, 2012 at 1:25 PM
Here, via NBC, is the White House report on President Obama and Mitt Romney's no-media lunch:
This afternoon, President Obama and Governor Romney visited for an hour over lunch in the Private Dining Room adjacent to the Oval Office. Governor Romney congratulated the President for the success of his campaign and wished him well over the coming four years. The focus of their discussion was on America's leadership in the world and the importance of maintaining that leadership position in the future. They pledged to stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together on shared interests arise in the future. Their lunch menu included white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad.
1. As Boston.com notes, Mitt Romney kicked off his 2012 campaign by serving big bowls of Ann Romneys turkey chili to fans in New Hampshire. There is no way that todays menu was a coincidence.
2. Lets stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together on shared interests arise in the future is the new fuck you, you fucking fuck.

(8,377 posts)1. When Obama leaves office, he could need a tax evasion specialist
Obama will be writing memoirs, giving speeches for $500K per talk, getting library donations ...
He'll need a guy to help him stash all of this offshore away from IRS and their posse of jack-booted thugs.
Is this the Luther Translation?

to gain admittance? They should of asked for his college records and birth certificate too.
