[bigtree]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama called former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney on Wednesday to congratulate him for wrapping up the Republican U.S. presidential nomination and wish him well in their battle for the White House, Obama's campaign said.

"President Obama said that he looked forward to an important and healthy debate about America's future, and wished Governor Romney and his family well throughout the upcoming campaign," the Obama campaign said in a statement.

Romney, whose main rivals had long since dropped out of the race, clinched his party's nomination on Tuesday night after securing the number of delegates needed after the Texas Republican primary.

President Obama was able to stifle the full-throated life that I'm certain was rising up?

Say what you will about whatever policies he has that you don't like...

The man has class.

9. It's hard to believe these two are on the same planet.

It is ironic because Mitt's life goal is to be on another planet in which he is god. (It's a Mormon thing.)

Oh, and don't forget that while these two exchange pleasantries, Mitt is planning to steal grandma's social security and basically make our planet inhabitable for anyone not in the 1%.

According to the White House, Obama called Romney just before noon to congratulate him on securing the Republican presidential nomination after he won the Texas GOP primary on Tuesday . . .

Romney, who has no public events on Wednesday, was on the West Coast when the call came in at 8:30 a.m. Pacific Time, according to a campaign aide.

The call was “brief and cordial,” and Romney “thanked the president for his congratulations and wished him and his family well,” the aide said.

11. I suspect that the POTUS speaks with the calm assurance of

the man who just drew the fourth jack. There is no way this election should even be close, but one can count on that wretched hive of scum and villainy known as the Repig party to pull every dirty trick they can manage.

12. Don't forget the media.

They will also be pulling out all stops and latching onto any faux "controversy" they can drum up.

13. We are getting nervous here in Florida. The plan and repub win is already set for '12 unless DWS

and the DOJ get down here quickly. I'm waiting to hear anything from Alan Grayson on this also..
