Mitt Romney is no stranger to the tactics of Pres. Obama, but on Thurs., Nov. 29, 2012 the former presidential contender went to the White House for lunch anyway.
According to White House spokesman Jay Carney, Obama wanted to ask Romney how he could make the government more efficient?
Isn't that supposed to be something the president already knew?
During the presidential campaign all voters heard from the president's campaign ads was how the former Mass. governor didn't have the solutions to America's problems; that he did.
Looks like that was just a lot of campaign baloney, as many Romney voters suspected. And now the proof is in the pudding as they say, since it is Obama courting Romney to find out how to make America's government more efficient.
Gather News writer Renee Nal points out the inconsistency of the president in his words and actions where Mitt is concerned, saying the president appears to be contradicting his own self by associating with an outsourcing felon who didn't pay his taxes for ten years and kills cancer patients.
She's got a great point.
So what's the president up to now? Why invite a presidential competitor to the White House -- and at this time in his term in office? Could it be that Pres. Obama is really sweating the fact that the "fiscal cliff" can't be averted in Congress without the help of Mitt Romney, who could sway Republicans if he wanted?
Or maybe Carney was being honest, when he said the president wanted Mitt to tell him how he could make the government more efficient, which the former governor promised to do if elected. If that's the case, and Romney agrees, then America wins and financial disaster can be avoided if Obama implements those recommendations.
One thing's for sure either way, and that is that Pres. Obama knows just which person to go to when he is lacking knowledge on a topic. Too bad the rest of the country didn't realize that fact before Election Day 2012, right?

I'm guessing since Mitt never revealed his big plan to the American people during the campaign, curiosity must have got the better of President Obama. Wagers were probably made amongst the white house staff as to whether or not he ever really had a plan to begin with. If he still couldn't get it out of him now that the election is over, no one probably ever will.
I like to give credit, where credit is due. Inasmuch, I give credit to Mitt "Elitist" Romney for being a,
Self adoring, materialistic exhibiting, money hoarding, tax evading, elitist loving, capitalist pandering, foreign venture investing, manufacture expelling, American job outsourcing, slave labor employing, middle class ignoring, poverty class hating, social program destroying, ideological changing, 1st class flip flopping asshole, as well as being a grandious liar.
well you are welcome to your opinion no matter how hate based it is!
That being posted,
Romney has done more to help more people than most all of you progressives combined.
Hey, how'd that whole election thing work out for you?
And guess who's still dead?
I'll take the 40 hour work week, child labor laws, social security, civil rights, voting rights, gay rights over Staples, Dan.
"Mainly people in China, and himself, Dan."
Ali, FTW.
No, that's not what Carney said. It's not what he said in the press briefing that took place while President Obama and Romney were having lunch, and it's not what he said in the press release after the lunch was finished. But hey, why let reality interfere with writing a Gather article, right?
Hillary never let's small things like recorded facts and/or documented information get in the way of writing an article here on GNP. She has always taken the position that when needed, changing circumstances and informational material to fit into the extremist ideology, makes the subject of her article more appealing to her conservative readers. It's sorta, give em what they want, facts be damned and judging by the number of extremist which post comments in agreement with her articles, it works well for her.
When he does make an obvious bi-partisan gesture you try to cast it as weakness, the failure of his own policies and a desperate cry for help. Morons!
If Obama fed 5,000 people with a few loaves and fishes, turned water into wine and walked along the surface of the Potomac in mid July you rightwingnutjobs would accuse him of putting bakers, fishermen, vintner and shipwrights out of business.
Well he didn't...He did however obstruct a plenty! And most of Obama's bipartisanship can be characterized as follows:
Obama: You give me everything I want.....And I'll give you nothing!
Which BTW is how he is proceeding concerning the dealings over the upcoming fiscal cliff. He and the Dems have said...You give us higher taxes and we'll talk about spending cuts some where down the road.....Oh and another BTW....Not raising spending is NOT a spending cut.
I can guarantee you that Rory is no fan of the Unicorn.
Apparently you are unaware that it is Mitt Romney who believes in Unicorns and lives on the planet of Kolob. As for rainbows, those are the designs on Mitt's magic Mormon underware.
It helps to know the issue and the subject.
And Ann Romney was already planning White House dinner parties. She already ordered the new White House curtains.
I'm so happy this 1% family will never occupy the White House as a resident.
Golf anyone???
