News junkies will have plenty of sources for coverage of the lunch between President Barack Obama and GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
Rather than rehash the stories and the comments coming from on-air commentators, here’s a copy of the release from the office of the White House press secretary.
“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.”
It sounds like a very civil affair, right down to the use of turkey in the chili and grilled chicken in the salad, so as not to favor either side in the poultry wars.
