[quote:CE1:MV8yMDY1MTU0XzI3N0I2RTky] White House Press Secretary Jay Carney discusses Thursday's planned lunch between President Barack Obama and his former rival Mitt Romney plus the president's willingness to make a deal with Congress to avoid the fiscal cliff. But is that really the point? Instead, both parties might just want a public burying of mutual animosities. It could be good for them, and the country. Perhaps this will become a US tradition, along with the presidential turkey pardon and the lighting of the White House Christmas tree. Every four years, the combatants in the just-past election will gather in the private dining room next to the Oval Office and air their grievances. (Yes, that’s a “Festivus” reference. If you don’t know what that means, look it up.) But let’s back up a bit. The White House announced the meal Wednesday in a statement released by spokesman Jay Carney. http://www.csmonitor.com/USA/DC-Decoder/Decoder-Wire/2012/1128/Mitt-Romney-to-lunch-with-President-Obama-in-White-House.-Why-video?cmpid=ema:nws:Daily%20Custom%20(11282012)&cmpid=ema:nws:NzQ4MDU3NjQ3MQS2 [/quote]
