Apparently, Barack Obama had just invited his just-defeated opponent Mitt Romney for a private lunch at the White House today.  Aside of being an obvious PR stunt, both Obama and Romney have good reasons to meet after a contentious election.  So what’s in it for them?  Here are 10 reasons why Obama and Romney are meeting for lunch:

1)  For Romney: Hey, a free lunch!

2)  For Obama: It’s a chance to finally confirm or deny the persistent rumor that Romney is really a robot, since robots do not eat.

3)  For Romney: He still has plenty of Obama zingers that he hadn’t have a chance to use.

4)  For Obama: A few people of the kitchen stuff need to be fired, and Obama is bringing a professional to do it.

5)  For Romney: He will get to see for himself if Obama’s administration of lunch will be a failure.

6)  For Obama: One more chance to rub his victory in Romney’s face by having Romney over at the White House as a guest.

7)  For Romney: An opportunity for once to flip-flop and not be skewered for it, because changing one’s position on what to have for dessert is still acceptable in politics.

8)  For Obama: A rare chance to eat with someone who is not very inclined to talk to him.

9)  For Romney: A chance to observe how an average middle-class African-American family lives.

10)  For Obama: A couple of czar’s positions are still open, and who could be a better candidate for czar’s job than someone who’s already living as one?
