Obama and Romney's sit-down Thursday will likely be their most extensive private meeting ever. The two men had only a handful of brief exchanges before the 2012 election.

Even after their political fates became intertwined, their interactions were largely confined to the three presidential debates.

Romney has virtually disappeared from politics following his loss in the Nov. 6 election. He's spent the last three weeks largely in seclusion at his family's southern California home. He has made no public appearances, drawing media attention only after being photographed at Disneyland in addition to stops at the movies and the gym with his wife, Ann.

I was surprised to hear Obama say during his acceptance speech that he would meet with Romney. I can't remember this ever being a part of any political victory speech I've ever heard before, and I suspected it would quickly be forgotten. I have to say I'm impressed with him following through with it.

I hope Romney gives Obama a Book of Mormon and challenges him to read it!

He has probably been given more that a few over the years. He might be using one as a door stop right now. This might be the best possible use one can put it to.

"In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Gov. Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward," Obama said at the time.

This might make Republican leaders not write Romney off so quickly. Hopefully Romney will not come to the meeting with a chip on his shoulder and taunt the President with charges of bribing the American voters with hope of continued life giving sustenance.

That's tough to use in place of toilet paper.

yes, because Romney has such a huge and passionate following around the country. he's like a conservative rock star. like Pat Boone.

that's a good point. i think if Romney humbles himself this could be a teachable moment for him and really help him turn things around in his life despite the serious mistakes he's made in the past year. i hope all went well the other day.
