Serving Romney peanut butter sandwiches and potato chips (with 7-11 cookies for dessert) might be kind of mean. I think it should be an elegant gourmet meal, served by white-gloved waiters. Romney could easily afford such a meal himself, of course, but it would probably twist his knickers just a bit tighter for his host to be that black guy who bought the election by giving stuff to the undeserving 47%.

Remind him of how the 99% exist.

I don't want my tax dollars feeding that fucker anything better than my neighbors & I could afford.

Tuna casserole (with crunched up potato chips) and Kool Aid are staples in most Mormon homes.

been a pain in the you know where ever sense. Mitt, too, is still bitter. My Prez needs to understand that these people do not like him and a formal beer summit will not change that.

Then again, maybe he knows Mitt is a snake and he is wearing his mongoose suit to that lunch.

according to the elder Gods of planet Kolob. So a "beer summit" would be more like a "Caffiene Free Diet Coke" summit.

I had never heard that it is a tradition, no press is allowed, but maybe that is all it is.
