The 2012 presidential contenders will break bread at the White House on Thursday.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney “will have a private lunch at the White House with President Obama in the Private Dining Room,” the White House says in a statement sent to reporters. “It will be the first opportunity they have had to visit since the election. There will be no press coverage of the meeting.”
When he gave his victory speech on Election Night, President Obama said he and Romney would be meeting soon to discuss ways they might be able to work together on some issues.
And at a Nov. 14 news conference, the president said that Romney “did a terrific job running the [Salt Lake] Olympics” Obama says. Romney’s skill at making something like that work better, Obama said, “applies to the federal government.” [Copyright 2012 National Public Radio]
