The Most Awkward Lunch in the History of the World...
5
Oh, that Mitt Romney...what a sad life...six houses, loyal family, $250 million in the bank...I'd much rather write an embittered post about him as I sneer over the coffee I can barely afford.
But hay, they're finally throwing the book at felonious window smashing hipsters from Ballard instead of punching CD residents.

Somebody please, please take Mittens out for a giant platter of rancid oysters the night before.
Because what an awesome way to cap his failure-filled campaign by committing Bushushuro in the White House, at Obama's feet.

Oh, to be fly on the wall for that meeting.
It came across very clearly during the debates that those two men really and truly hate each other. I'm sure they're just thrilled about having lunch together.

Ryan was observed to have "unfollowed" Romney on Twitter in the last few days. Let's hope that comes up in their sure-to-be-jovial discussion.

Obama should show him the IRS agents and the extradition treaties with Greece, Italy, Spain, and Portugal if Rmoney doesn't pay his taxes that he still owes.

I don't know what to make of this...
Is this another case of Obama embracing his enemies in his quest to subvert them on his program of radical Centrist Progressivism?
Was this a pro forma, "no hard feelings" offer that Romney was too awkward and privileged to know he was supposed to graciously turn down?
Is this just a simple case of graciously rubbing the losers face in your victory?

Newsflash..Rmoney is one of the 1% who actually run the country. Obama is just checking in with one of his handful of real bosses.

Cato knows what he's talking about folks; He's got a degree in The Truth, from Ron Paul University LLC

They could always go for the most awkward & uncomfortable meeting in the history of civilization. They'd just need to also extend invites to Nate Silver, Dick Morris, all the Cheneys & Palins, whatever surviving Nixons they could track down, and my weirdo cousin Mary, provided she's off her meds.

I'm now imagining Mitt taking a dump in the Oval Office bathroom and not flushing a laThe Monarch.

Awkward?
Naw.
All those political shitbags are BFFs. They hang out with each other at high end corporate functions all the time.
Both sides work for government power at citizen expense. You would have to be an idiot to not know the Democraps and Rethuglicans are in cahoots.

Obama did the same thing with McCain after beating him in the election, but that made more sense: McCain was still a senator that he'd have to work with. Maybe this is just Obama showing good manners?
I bet under normal circumstances, Romney is a lively and interesting guest. But the fact that the press will be covering the lunch means he'lll be in awkward-robot mode, delivering prepared jokes.

CNN has wondered whether Obama will give Romney a cabinet position. I'm afraid that might be possible. Geithner's leaving.
