Celebrities / BOB MARLEY'S LEADERSHIP AND THE LEGACY FOLLOWED by 10KNews: 8:04pm On Dec 11, 2012

ROBERT NESTA MARLEY. Well, you all know about the guy, when he was born, and that entire beautiful story round and about Nesta. So I will not bore you will such long talks so I don’t end up telling you what you already know and get on your nerves. So, the story here will be all about “why I love Bob Marley”. Okay fine, I will tell you when he was born…No vex! No be only you go read am. Some deh sef weh no no the story about the man sha.

Robert Nesta Marley was born on the 6th of February 1945 in the Saint Ann Parish of Jamaica. His father Norval Sinclair Marley was a white man in his 50s and his mother Cedella Booker was a black woman who was 18 years old. Due to this, he suffered a lot of racial prejudice in his childhood. Although his father provided the family with financial support, he was away most of the time on his work related trips. Bob Marley was ten years old when his father died.

His family moved to the Trenchtown slum in Kingston after his father died. Since he was of a short stature and due to his mixed origins, Bob Marley had to endure a lot of bullying. So he learned self-defence and eventually gained a lot of physical strength. This earned him the nickname… 'Tuff Gong'.

This is also the time he met Neville Livingston (later known as Bunny Wailer) and they began playing music together. At 14 he apprenticed at a local welder's shop and began to make music in his free time with Livingston and Joe Higgs, who was a local musician and a devout Rastafarian. It was at one such jam session, that Bob Marley also met Peter McIntosh (later known as Peter Tosh). End of story! I will go no further than this… You already know the story and you know the rest.

But it is still about why I love Bob Marley. I love Robert Nesta Marley for his simplest way of life. Bob Marley's car most of the time is a Volkswagen bus. That is what we call "danfo" here in Lagos. Yet this man had Millions, not just in Jamaican currency, but in dollars.

For his simple life and nature, he nearly got killed many times. So bodyguards were suggested for him, yet he seldom uses bodyguards apart from when he goes to concerts and you know, you have to put the crowed in order. After the concert when he gets back home, he was still the little “tuff gong” the community grew up with and knew. He has not changed. He never changed. He was still the Bob on the street and when it is time for football and he was free, Bob will come out and play with his mates or whoever was available at the field of play. I am talking about a "WORLD CLASS SUPERSTAR" here. Can our superstars do that? E go hard o.

While many were calling him local and directionless, Bob was gathering his millions in banks for his children’s future and the future of his coming generation that will come. He was not flamboyant even with his big money from music. So it hurts too much when Nigeria politicians will steal government money and pile it for their children. Stolen money? They will end up using it to snuff cocaine when you are gone.

Let me tell you something about children. No matter how bad a child is, every child knows a good man, a loving man and a man that leads by example. Bob Marley’s children were watching him and learning from him and luckily for Bob, he had a very intelligent first son Ziggy who took his path in family unity and leadership. So, why are you killing yourself in the name of stealing government money so you can pile it up for the future of your children when your children know it is stolen money? IT IS WASTE! You can read about Ziggy Marley’s interview on our blog with this link http://10knews..com/2012/12/interview-with-ziggy-marleyfather-legacy.html.

Your children knew it was stolen money and it will be used without respect, because it is stolen money…cocaine, heroin, gay and lesbian practice and all manner of cultures that are alien to us. Lead your children by positive example. Give them the chance to find the need to get to know they have creativity in them. It is not about your flamboyancy and expensive schools you send them to. Let them know there is something called choice and honest leadership. Let them learn positively from you and that they can chose to make success all glorified and leave the same legacy for their own children. In this way, Nigeria will not be going backwards as she is going now.

I would have mentioned Fashola, but since he started to have fracas with the Okada guys, his ranking has dropped with the people. All the same, he has a concept which most governors in Nigeria tried to copy initially. But when they found out that it was not giving them enough chance to loot their states treasuries, they all dropped the Fashola idea for him and when back to looting. I heard some of them bought private jets from the loots. I am not a Fashola disciple…NO! I am just a lover of positive idea for my country, my people. I have no other place I can call my own apart from this country. Many of his opponents have said he would have done better if not for Tinubu’s strong grip on him and on the purse of Lagos state, but that is not the reason for this narrative.

The reason for this narrative is totally also not about Bob Marley, but about us...The Nigeria Children. Nigeria is our mother and father. So this is about WHY NIGERIA CHILDREN ARE RUNNING AWAY FROM NIGERIA. What are our fathers doing that are not going down well with us her children? If you are a leader and the government purse is in your hands, what are you doing with it? Pushing the whole billions to your purse and that of your close friends, what about us? As Wande Cool will say…”Na so we go deh deh!”

The late next man to General IBB, I will not mention a name, you know him, could not give his people electricity while he was in power and when he retired from the military and went home, he wanted to install a big generator in his compound for his personal use. The community refused and rioted against it. If not for soldiers’ interventions and the elders who talked to the youths, innocent blood would have been shed there for nothing. Eight years in power and you could not beg IBB whom you are his next hand in power, to give your people electricity? Yet millions were passing into your personal account? Abeg!!! What about us?

What about us? What about us Nigerians? Why has Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (in twitter the hastag is GEJFailed), who went to school with “no shoes” suddenly began to hate the presence of the poor and just be giving them empty promises? “We are on top of the situation. We have formed a committee to look into it”. What is that about the poor that smells too badly that the rich find too pungent that they don’t want to help them, but to trample upon them. Yet in times of elections, you want to bribe the poor with a bag of rice? Well, you have just spoken out your disgust out and the wise ones have heard. You have just told them, they are hungry and they should eat rice and come and vote for you. I thank God for the wiser ones like I said. They will take your rice, eat it and still not vote for you. Some don’t even want to vote anyway. (But that is not a good idea. Make sure you vote for when you don’t vote, the evil men will continue to stay in power)

Now back to why I love Bob Marley. Why was Bob Marley concerned about the poor and making sure he never lost touch with them? Why was he dinning with them? Why was he playing with them? Why was he always with them? The answer is this and very simple. Your best strength as a person is when you are surrounded by and with people in a place where money does not matter, but love and friendship. Where people can talk to you freely and you can talk back to them same way too. Where they were not afraid to tell you the truth to your face and not fearing that you will use your money to intimidate them. He knew it and he used it. And they loved him for it…let me say that this love for Bob Marley will last for lots of years to come.

So, back to us. You are a rich Christian? You have failed Christ. Christ was always feeding and healing the poor. He was always with them. He loved them, HE helped them. If HE wanted to be in the parliament and turn himself to the Christ of the rich, HE can and could have done it most easily. Why not? The rich always try to entice HIM with their wealth. Well, that’s not bad. It’s okay to have wealthy friends. But HE dines with them and goes home to sleep under the same roof with Paul and Peter and the other apostles. You have failed the Christ if you are a rich Nigeria and your people can’t feed. They only benefit from you in times of campaign. You have failed The Christ.

You are a rich Muslim? You have failed the mission of the Prophet. The Holy Quran told us that the prophet gave strong warning never for you to despise the poor or the beggars, but to see to it that you help them. Never send a beggar away. Never turn your back on your brother. We know these things and you know it too. We have read these things and you have read it too. So what about us? What are you doing to us? We are the people the Prophet Mohammed told you to help. He said for you to be our voice with the position you are holding in Government now. Not for you to turn around and use us to create religious violence and turn twist the Holy book to favour you because you have money. You failed the mission of the Prophet and the promises of the kingdom will pass you by. After all, you have had your earthly fill.

What about us? We are the people Jesus Christ was telling you about to use your wealth to help us. That Government money you stole and put in your account which is our collective money anyway. Christ gave you the instructions to feed the five thousand. It is not until I am from your mother's womb that I can be regarded as your brother. NO! Once we are under one roof called "earth", then you and I are one family. The Whiteman left Europe, and the Far East to bring us education…Yes they also benefited from it, but you are I are better off with it, and we owe them a thank you. If not for them, the twins will still be used for sacrifices and there will be no “P-Square” or “Aneke” girls. If not for them, you will not be flying that private jet, for you will be one village warrior some where waiting for the next village war to happen so you can tie leaves on your waste and go fight with woods and sharp stones. We know this and you know this… so what about us?

Nigerians who cannot do armed robbery and kidnapping are running away from the country to other lands where they can at least find a little peace, electricity, food and work. And if that does not bother you as a leader, then your name na sorry. And if that bothers you as a leader, what are you doing about it? Education used to be very beautiful and we found love going to school when Awolowo gave us free education. That time, if you pass WEAC, nobody looked at you suspiciously thinking you have bribed your way through or slept with some invigilators. But now you build schools with church money and only the rich can afford it. What about us?

Nigeria sports are dead; all thanks to weak Government policies and embezzlement of sports funds. What are you doing about it? The EKO12 has just ended. People no care. Dem no send. Dem no gree come...why? Where has the love for sports gone to? They have no love left because they were busy looking for what to eat. Who no chop deh go watch sports for stadium? Haba! Your government policies have killed our sports. So now, do you know how many billions of Naira they make from these sports viewing centres? Ask multi-Choice and you will be shocked. Our money is transferred abroad to the Whiteman because the only club we know about now is Chelsea and Barca. And as stupid as that might sound, Nigeria is the place they have their biggest fans, that you can hear a full grown Nigeria man living in Nigeria saying “my club has won today and I am so happy”. What is his club? Manchester united. If you call “Eyimba of Aba”...he will tell you “shut up! Eyi wetin, eyi nonsense” Or you say 3SC. He tells you again to shut up! What is 3SC? Is that a formula for mathematics? Do you blame him? Ha has no local sport he can call his own. So my Government, what about us?

You blame our girls for the high level of infidelity, prostitution and being too loose. Haba! See you! Dem no go chop? na only you sabi use blackberry and drive better car...If the level of play have been fair and conducive, most of the girls doing “Ashawo” and “Aristo” would have been super stars, somehow, somehow in sports or in education or in show business, but the level of play here is not fair....my heart bleeds but what can I tell you now that you will hear? What did Bob Marley tell his children that made them to be responsible? What did Fela tell Femi and Seun, which made them responsible men in our society? What are you telling your own children that make them want to loot Nigeria treasury? What about us? What about us? What about us? Abacha pikin nearly killed Diya for Prison! But I am not going to talk about that, for all things that bite in the night are mosquitoes and Diya is one of them.

If Larmode, EFCC chairman should open his mouth and tell you how much is leaving this country, in the name of treasury loot, you will not wait for him to finish and you will either kill someone or kill yourself. What about us.

So, that my dear readers of this piece, this is why I loved Bob Marley. He did not only leave behind $24million dollars in 1981 (forgive me if I am not correct with the exact figure) when he died, but he left a foot step for them to follow and they learned to live the same kind of life he lived. He was not a miser and neither are the children misers, don’t get me wrong. Since 1981, how many Bob Marley’s children have you heard is messing up in their society? They are all rich and they are all doing well in their own respective fields. Even when they can live very well on the wealth their father left behind, but they chose to follow their respective paths and do well because he taught them how to. He taught his first son the last lesson on his sick bed before he died. He said to him “SON, MONEY CAN’T BUY LIFE” and he died.

Our fathers, please I am begging and asking you, what about us? What are you teaching us.

Entertainment / P-Square, Knocked Down Ghana Girls at the 40,000+ TURN OUT Concert!!! by 10KNews: 1:54pm On Dec 06, 2012
It has happen in the past with several super stars like Michael Jackson and others who get fans passing out on seeing them on stage and in person. But it is of great excitment that P-Square acts created such excitement for fans at their just concluded concert in Ghana last week

During their performance at the ‘Top of the World Celebration’ concert in Accra, P-Square thrilled fans with back to back hits and the screaming fans wanted more. The excitement of seeing the duo also created chaos in the huge crowd as fans starting pushing and jostling each other.

It was out of the exhaustion and suffocation that a few female fans passed out and had to be pulled out from the crowd for resuscitation. P-Square had to pause their performance to call the attention of the security to the incident when they spotted it.

Bravo brothers! You are stamping feet on solid grounds and breaking them!

Romance / Love Triangle!!! Are You In It? by 10KNews: 8:38pm On Dec 04, 2012
OLUWAKEMI is newly married to the Love of her Life and expecting a baby with her husband OLUWASEUN, and so she's having unprotected sex with him because that's her man. Good enough!

[b]BUT; Oluwaseun however
has a woman on the outside, MATILDA, and he is having unprotected sex with her because she's a decent lady. They both love "skin on skin" and besides, that's the only person other than his wife, he is having sex with, so he tells himself he is safe because its only two women… and he trusts them. Abi?

Decent Matilda has her man], IKECHUKWU!!! Who means the world to her and she is having unprotected sex with him because that's the man she intends to marry. She tells herself she is safe because she only has two men, Oluwaseun a married man and Ikechukwu...

But Ikechukwu has an outside woman named HALIMA a young "good" undergrad he's also considering to marry, and is having unprotected sex with her because to him Halima is faithful so he tells himself its only two women he is having sex with so it can’t hurt him. Halima on the other hand has no personal man, just friends or lecturers who assist her "ministry" when she has urges and Ikechukwu is not around when the “oshu” is boiling. Body no be fire wood na.

Do you see where this is going Everyone thinks that they are safe when in fact they are so unsafe and at risk. If you agree with on this, then join the Fight Against HIV/AIDS/ STDs Virus by sharing this page with friends on facebook and twitter. Love you for sharing this.

God, Ghanaians must really love their beer. I can't believe you are still dragging the star thing. You want more links proving that Nigeria got Star beer before Ghana? Okay love, find them below.

Then back to your comment...

- Highlighted 1 - Hehe. Guinness is Irish. Go build your own company and stop claiming another country's product. This is the kind of thing you don't catch Nigerians doing.

- Highlighted 2 - What in God's name are you ranting about?

- Highlighted 3- LOL! You are one hell of a comedian. I bet Ghana even invented the word "star". I think you should all apply for a copyright on that word just because your country uses it.

- Highlighted 4 - You have shown that you have the intellectual capacity of a one year old. The joke is on you buddy. kiss kiss


Dear Virgo,

You are one Nigerian, Nigeria is missing....educated and well read with fact of research (Not just copy and paste people do these days).

Celebrities / Hit And Run Rumour: ‘I Might Act Crazy But Not Heartless’ – Terry G by 10KNews: 1:25pm On Dec 04, 2012
The controversial singer and producer denounced the rumors as he claimed nothing of such happened.

Read what Terry G had to say:

"I was at club Royale with friends having fun, when it was time for me to leave I was escorted by two bouncers of the club to my car. Yes some guys tried to mop me while I was leaving which is normal, I got into my car peacefully and drove out after a couple of snaps with my fans. I never received any call from the police inviting me for a hit and run case and I have no reason to run been Godly or notorious, I am a known face so what sense does it make hitting someone and running. I might act crazy but not heartless".

Politics / 7 Persons Sentenced To Death For Anti-islam Movie by 10KNews: 3:09pm On Nov 30, 2012
CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian court convicted in absentia Wednesday seven Egyptian Coptic Christians and a Florida-based American pastor, sentencing them to death on charges linked to an anti-Islam film that had sparked riots in parts of the Muslim world.

The case was seen as largely symbolic because the defendants, most of whom live in the United States, are all outside Egypt and are thus unlikely to ever face the sentence. The charges were brought in September during a wave of public outrage in Egypt over the amateur film, which was produced by an Egyptian-American Copt.

The low-budget "Innocence of Muslims," parts of which were made available online, portrays the Prophet Muhammad as a fraud, womanizer and buffoon.

Egypt's official news agency said the court found the defendants guilty of harming national unity, insulting and publicly attacking Islam and spreading false information — charges that carry the death sentence.

Maximum sentences are common in cases tried in absentia in Egypt. Capital punishment decisions are reviewed by the country's chief religious authority, who must approve or reject the sentence. A final verdict is scheduled on Jan. 29.

The man behind the film, Mark Basseley Youssef, was among those convicted. He was sentenced in a California court earlier this month to one year in federal prison for probation violations in an unrelated matter. Youssef, 55, admitted that he had used several false names in violation of his probation order and obtained a driver's license under a false name. He was on probation for a bank fraud case.

Multiple calls to Youssef's attorney in Southern California, Steve Seiden, were not returned Wednesday.

Florida-based Terry Jones, another of those sentenced, is the pastor of Dove World Outreach, a church of less than 50 members in Gainesville, Fla., not far from the University of Florida. He has said he was contacted by the filmmaker to promote the film, as well as Morris Sadek, a conservative Coptic Christian in the U.S. who posted the video clips on his website.

In a telephone interview Wednesday, Jones said the ruling "shows the true face of Islam" — one that he views as intolerant of dissent and opposed to basic freedoms of speech and religion.

"We can speak out here in America," Jones said. "That freedom means that we criticize government leadership, religion even at times. Islam is not a religion that tolerates any type of criticism."

In a statement sent to The Associated Press Wednesday, Sadek, who fled Egypt 10 years ago and is now a Coptic activist living in Chantilly, Virginia., denied any role in the creation, production or financing of the film.

He said the verdict "shows the world that the Muslim Brotherhood regime wants to shut up all the Coptic activists, so no one can demand Copts' rights in Egypt."

Coptic Christians make up most of Egypt's Christian minority, around 10 percent of the country's 83 million. They complain of state discrimination. Violent clashes break out occasionally over land disputes, worshipping rights and love affairs between Muslims and Christians.

The connection to the film of the other five sentenced by the court was not immediately clear. They include two who work with Sadek at a radical Coptic group in the U.S. that has called for an independent Coptic state, a priest who hosts TV programs from the U.S. and a lawyer living in Canada who has previously sued the Egyptian state over riots in 2000 that left 21 Christians dead.

In a phone interview, one of the men sentenced who works with Sadek, Fikry Zaklama, said he had nothing to do with the film and hadn't even seen it.

"When I went to look at it (on the Internet), they told me it had been taken down," said Zaklama, 65, a Coptic activist and retired physician who practiced in Jersey City, N.J. "I'm not interested. I'm not a clergyman. I'm a political guy."

Nader Fawzy, a 53-year old jewelry store manager and president of an international Coptic rights organization from Toronto, Canada, said he planned to file a lawsuit against the Egyptian government in Canada for what he said was a wrongful prosecution.

He said he's terrified of being kidnapped and spirited to Egypt. Fawzy, who came to Canada in 2002 from Sweden and lost his Egyptian citizenship in 1992, denied any involvement in the film. He said the Egyptian government has long been out to get him because of his Coptic Christian activism.

"Of course, I'm worried about this death penalty," Fawzy said, adding that the verdict has limited his ability to travel freely. "Who will give me guarantees that the Egyptian government will not try to kidnap me, to take me to Egypt?"

The other person is a woman who converted to Christianity and is a staunch critic of Islam.

The official news agency report said that during the trial, the court reviewed a video of some defendants calling for an independent Coptic state in Egypt, and another of Jones burning the Quran, Islam's holy book. The prosecutor asked for the maximum sentence, accusing those charged of seeking to divide Egypt and incite sedition. All the defendants, except Jones, hold Egyptian nationality, the agency added.

Some Christians and human rights groups worry that prosecutions for insulting religion, which existed to a degree under the secular-leaning regime of deposed President Hosni Mubarak, will increase with the ascent of Islamists to power in Egypt.

Foreign Affairs / Palestinians Win De Facto U.N. Recognition Of Sovereign State by 10KNews: 12:51pm On Nov 30, 2012
UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The 193-nation U.N. General Assembly on Thursday overwhelmingly approved the de facto recognition of the sovereign state of Palestine after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called on the world body to issue its long overdue "birth certificate."

The U.N. victory for the Palestinians was a diplomatic setback for the United States and Israel, which were joined by only a handful of countries in voting against the move to upgrade the Palestinian Authority's observer status at the United Nations to "non-member state" from "entity," like the Vatican.

Britain called on the United States to use its influence to help break the long impasse in Israeli-Palestinian peace talks. Washington also called for a revival of direct negotiations.

There were 138 votes in favor, nine against and 41 abstentions. Three countries did not take part in the vote, held on the 65th anniversary of the adoption of U.N. resolution 181 that partitioned Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states.

Thousands of flag-waving Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip set off fireworks and danced in the streets to celebrate the vote.

The assembly approved the upgrade despite threats by the United States and Israel to punish the Palestinians by withholding funds for the West Bank government.

U.N. envoys said Israel might not retaliate harshly against the Palestinians over the vote as long as they do not seek to join the International Criminal Court.
If the Palestinians were to join the ICC, they could file complaints with the court accusing Israel of war crimes, crimes against humanity and other serious crimes.

U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called the vote "unfortunate and counterproductive," while the Vatican praised the move and called for an internationally guaranteed special status for Jerusalem, something bound to irritate Israel.

The much-anticipated vote came after Abbas denounced Israel from the U.N. podium for its "aggressive policies and the perpetration of war crimes," remarks that elicited a furious response from the Jewish state.

"Sixty-five years ago on this day, the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution 181, which partitioned the land of historic Palestine into two states and became the birth certificate for Israel," Abbas told the assembly after receiving a standing ovation.

"The General Assembly is called upon today to issue a birth certificate of the reality of the State of Palestine," he said.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu responded quickly, condemning Abbas' critique of Israel as "hostile and poisonous," and full of "false propaganda.
"These are not the words of a man who wants peace," Netanyahu said in a statement released by his office. He reiterated Israeli calls for direct talks with the Palestinians, dismissing Thursday's resolution as "meaningless."

ICC THREAT
A number of Western delegations noted that Thursday's vote should not be interpreted as formal legal recognition of a Palestinian state. Formal recognition of statehood is something that is done bilaterally, not by the United Nations.

Granting Palestinians the title of "non-member observer state" falls short of full U.N. membership - something the Palestinians failed to achieve last year. But it does have important legal implications - it would allow them access to the ICC and other international bodies, should they choose to join.

Abbas did not mention the ICC in his speech. But Palestinian Foreign Minister Riyad al-Maliki told reporters after the vote that if Israel continued to build illegal settlements, the Palestinians might pursue the ICC route.

"As long as the Israelis are not committing atrocities, are not building settlements, are not violating international law, then we don't see any reason to go anywhere," he said.

"If the Israelis continue with such policy - aggression, settlements, assassinations, attacks, confiscations, building walls - violating international law, then we have no other remedy but really to knock those to other places," Maliki said.

In Washington, a group of four Republican and Democratic senators announced legislation that would close the Palestinian office in Washington unless the Palestinians enter "meaningful negotiations" with Israel, and eliminate all U.S. assistance to the Palestinian Authority if it turns to the ICC.

"I fear the Palestinian Authority will now be able to use the United Nations as a political club against Israel," said Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the sponsors.

Abbas led the campaign to win support for the resolution, which followed an eight-day conflict this month between Israel and Islamists in the Gaza Strip, who are pledged to Israel's destruction and oppose a negotiated peace.

The vote highlighted how deeply divided Europe is on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

At least 17 European nations voted in favor of the Palestinian resolution, including Austria, France, Italy, Norway and Spain. Abbas had focused his lobbying efforts on Europe, which supplies much of the aid the Palestinian Authority relies on. Britain, Germany and many others chose to abstain.

The traditionally pro-Israel Czech Republic was unique in Europe, joining the United States, Israel, Canada, Panama and the tiny Pacific Island states Nauru, Palau, Marshall Islands and Micronesia in voting against the move.

'HOPE SOME REASON WILL PREVAIL'

Peace talks have been stalled for two years, mainly over Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which have expanded despite being deemed illegal by most of the world. There are 4.3 million Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza.

After the vote, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice called for the immediate resumption of peace talks.
"The Palestinian people will wake up tomorrow and find that little about their lives has changed save that the prospects of a durable peace have only receded," she said.

She added that both parties should "avoid any further provocative actions in the region, in New York or elsewhere."
Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad said he hoped all sides would use the vote to push for new breakthroughs in the peace process.
"I hope there will be no punitive measures," Fayyad told Reuters in Washington, where he was attending a conference.
"I hope that some reason will prevail and the opportunity will be taken to take advantage of what happened today in favor of getting a political process moving," he said.

Britain's U.N. ambassador, Mark Lyall Grant, told reporters it was time for recently re-elected U.S. President Barack Obama to make a new push for peace.
"We believe the window for the two-state solution is closing," he said. "That is why we are encouraging the United States and other key international actors to grasp this opportunity and use the next 12 months as a way to really break through this impasse."

Foreign Affairs / Romney, Obama Have Lunch, Agree To ‘stay In Touch.’ Maybe. by 10KNews: 12:31pm On Nov 30, 2012
President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney met for lunch at the White House on Thursday, their first face-to-face meeting since the bitter election campaign in which each man basically warned voters that the other risked destroying the economy. A syrupy White House statement released after the meal said they had discussed America's global leadership role and agreed on their desire to stay in touch. Maybe.

Mitt Romney arrives at the White House for his lunch with President Barack Obama. (Jason Reed/Reuters) Romney arrived one minute early for the 12:30 p.m. lunch, walking into the West Wing through a side entrance a safe distance from the press. He walked out the same way at 1:43 p.m., even as Obama's press secretary Jay Carney gave only meager details of what he insisted was a "private" get-together between the president and his defeated Republican rival.

Romney "congratulated the president for the success of his campaign and wished him well over the coming four years," according to the White House account of the meal. "The focus of their discussion was on America's leadership in the world and the importance of maintaining that leadership position in the future.

"They pledged to stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together on shared interests arise in the future," the statement said.

The lunch menu included white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad.

The White House barred reporters from the event, but released an official photo showing Obama giving Romney a tour of the Oval Office.

Carney, briefing reporters while the lunch was going on, predicted that the two men would compare experiences from the campaign trail. "There aren't that many people who have run, been nominees for their party. There aren't that many people you can talk to who know what it's like."

Obama is "very interested in some of Gov. Romney's ideas," Carney insisted. But, when pressed, he would highlight only the Republican's widely praised rescue of the Salt Lake City Olympics and say that Obama hoped to apply Romney's know-how to his own efforts to make government more efficient.

That's a skill set, not an idea, one reporter pointed out. So are there actually ideas of Romney's that the president always either supported or opposed in the campaign but is now rethinking?

"There were certainly things that the two men agreed on" during the campaign, Carney said. "I wouldn't say it was the majority of things. It wasn't."

Still, Carney pointed to the three presidential debates and underlined that the erstwhile rivals had frequently professed to agree with each other.

He's right. Here's a sample of some of those moments. Note that some of the "agreements" are tactical attempts to score political points rather than any sincere assertion of commonality of purpose.

From the first debate:

Obama: "Gov. Romney and I both agree that our corporate tax rate is too high."
"I agree that the Democratic legislators in Massachusetts might have given some advice to Republicans in Congress about how to cooperate."

Romney: "I agree, education is key, particularly the future of our economy."
"We agree; we ought to bring the tax rates down, and I do, both for corporations and for individuals."
"Let's come back to something the president (and) I agree on, which is the key task we have in health care is to get the costs down so it's more affordable for families."

Or this exchange:

Obama: "One of the things I suspect Gov. Romney and I probably agree on is getting businesses to work with community colleges so that they're setting up their training programs ..."

Moderator Jim Lehrer: "Do you agree, Governor?"

Obama: "Let—let—let me just finish the point."

Romney: "Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah."

Or this one:

Lehrer: "Can the two of you agree that the voters have a choice, a clear choice, between the two of you?"

Romney: "Absolutely."

Obama: "Yes."[/font]
