Here are my predictions on today’s Obama-Romney lunch. I may not be a psychic but, hey, my predictions are better than Dick Morris’. Prediction:
1. Romney will say 47% of the lunch was bad.
2. Romney will make a sundae at the sundae bar, point to it and tell Obama: “I built that.” Obama will point around the White House room and tell Romney: “I won this.”
3. Romney will have lunch with an empty chair.
4. Romney will pass on several of the menu items with political names. He’ll quickly decline the Joe Biden Tongue Sandwich, the Donald Trump Pooh Pooh Platter, the Rush Limbaugh Overstuffed Baloney Sandwich, the Fox News Crepes and the Sean Hannity Poppycock. But then he’ll think maybe he may run for some office one day or want to be in a Republican administration so he’ll order all of them — except the Biden sandwich.
5. For dessert, Romney will ask if they have his favorite item: sour grapes.
