From the White House press release on the meeting:
This afternoon, President Obama and Governor Romney visited for an hour over lunch in the Private Dining Room adjacent to the Oval Office. Governor Romney congratulated the President for the success of his campaign and wished him well over the coming four years. 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. Their lunch menu included white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad.

Brad Lawrence: "Well, Mitt, I hate to cut this short, but I have tax payers waiting."
John Murray: "There's a nice gift bag for you on your way out."
Betty Lee: "Obama: May I give you a personal tour of my house?"
Julie Gaughran: "Okay, Mitt, this is the part where you self-deport back to Boston."
John B. Melcher: "So Mitt...would you please explain to me one more time how exactly Obamacare works?"
Rebecca Charloff: "Romney: Okay, last offer. Five million dollars, right now. Just take the money and walk away quietly. You people are always looking for handouts, right?"
