I'm going to meet privately with my neighbor Ann on Thursday!!

Obama/Romney meeting is about as newsworthy as mine!!!

Why should anyone care about either of these meetings??????

Yep, I wouldn’t doubt that one bit.

Obama is simply using Romney. After meeting Romney will pull a Chris Christie and praise Obama. Then, Obama will now have the political cover to say, “See, I’m reaching out to Republicans. I’m trying to deal with them.” At the same time, Obama will cut the legs right out from underneath House Republicans and THEY will have all the appearance of looking like they’re intransigent.

This is simply a ploy and, once again, the Stupid Party, will fall for it. (The same Party that happily allowed the debate “moderators”. The smae Party that STILL cannot fix the military ballot issue or prevent wholesale voter fraud.)

To thank him, the “plan” worked.

Because nothing truly bad for the country can come out of your meeting with your neighbor.
Something astoundingly bad can come out of Romney meeting with Skippy the Echolocating Wonderbat.

You are likely right.
And there may be more to this meeting than a simple ‘hello’.

Romney should keep in mind Petraeus and now Rice. Set up, use and abuse at leisure.

and Romney is a patriot.

Not if he works in anyway with or for the marxist...because nothing zero does is for the good of THIS country.

Initiate reparations negotiations for past Mormon Church sins against the melanin aggrieved. It could happen.

Some of the people here could provide textbook examples of cutting off your nose to spite your face.

Look, Obama is in, it’s a done deal. If someone offered you a job where you thought that you could mitigate some of the damage to the country, in spite of having a malignant POS president, what would you do?

"Romney going for a job interview?"

Maybe Obama's new "Minister of Economic Planning" (which we need as much as a plague of locusts/4 more years of Obama)?

Sorry, they're BOTH losers, each in his own way. NOTHING good can come from this, and the risk is that a lot of bad can easily follow.

Probably.
Then comes the political blackmail afterwards.

“You are likely right.

Obama saw that Romney never attacked him like he should have.(Romney) “Obama is a nice guy, but he didn’t get the job done” So Obama will enlist the liberal RINO to sell his policies to the House & Senate Republicans. And it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if Romney tries to help Obama.

Romney fought light years harder against his Republican opponents than he did against Obama.
He played patty cake with the creep instead compared to the RNC primaries.

Yes, and Romney will see it as “Reaching out” to the Dems.

this reminds me of Fountainhead by Ayn Rand.

The incompetent architect, devoid of talent and ideas, begs the real architect to ghost write a building project.

Obama is looking for business speak classes.

Ah yes, selling out and assisting in the destruction of the country.
THAT will mitigate things nicely.

You don’t understand marxists much, do you.
Romney would not be able to do sheep dip to ‘mitigate’ anything.
He’d be a wholly owned bought and paid for minion to use and throw away.
He’d be a pet, pure and simple.
And if he strayed from what he was told to do, well, he wouldn’t want to do that.
Chicago politics, do you understand them?
