Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (CNN) - Mitt Romney met with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell during a quick swing through the nation's capital Wednesday, a campaign aide confirmed.
The campaign previously characterized Romney's afternoon meetings as "private."

During his seven-hours in Washington, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee also attended a small fund-raising event and gave a speech at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce outlining his education policy.
McConnell, the Republican leader in the upper chamber, formally endorsed Romney in mid-April.

One stupid republican meeting with another stupid republican, where is the news in this? Let's hear more about Willard's plans to turn the economy around not about his meeting with the weenie sucker in the Senate.
Willard just stopped by to get his latest marching orders.
Two republican freaks that should run for office in somila where they have the same values ,no health care ,no regulations,no taxes ,no minimum wage and no DEMS .ha ha .
What a surprise! Two GOBP cult members trying to make the President a one-termer.
Most likely Romney was getting an update on the Senator's plan to make Obama a one term president.
Avoid buying into the Romney campaign bull...the worst part about being deceived is that you are not aware of it...duh!
McConnell no doubt told Romney he is committed to block every one of Obama's ideas, even the idea Obama took from Romney (individual mandate) or another idea that Romney supports (keeping student loan interest rates low).
I can just hear it..I'm the white oh, I mean right guy for the job Senator McConnell.
Mitch McConnell , spinless !
Romney / bring back the GW Bush years .
►McConnell◄: "Oh, Mittens, keep up the fact that President Obama is a 'nice guy' and we will continue to say that he is not American, he's a socialist, he's not creating jobs, he's divisive, he hate rich people and we'll even bring up Rev. Wright – AND as long as you continue to say he's a nice guy, the American people will start thinking you really believe that.
►MITTens◄: "But should I say it before I FLIP or after the FLOP – should I say it while LYING or telling the truth – and after I say it can I say "...I haven’t, haven’t, I’m not familiar precisely with exactly what I said but I stand by what I said whatever it was...?"
►McConnell◄: "Yes!"

No child Left Behind policy is a great aspiration than a good policy. I believe that the teachers could never stop trying to do their efforts on that matter before this policy. I wish the teachers would not be disrupted by No Child Left Behind policy.
CNN Plan – McConnell is generally unpopular. Romney stock is on the rise. Let's remind everyone that they both exist and know each other, maybe it'll rub off against Romney's popularity.
America will not forget McConnells statement: That he and Repubs were going to do whatever they could like , obstruct and destroy America to TRY to make President Obama a one term President. Vote these obstructionist/Tea party people out of congress now before they can do anymore damage to America
Mitch McConnell is evil and racist. His endorsement for Romney is just more poison for a growing pot of toxic waste.
Mitch McConnell has been successful in only one area – making the Senate Republicans totally useless and having them work toward a total lack of progress in America. He is a political terrorist.
Aw come on - it was an Obama-bash. We've heard it all. You can tell us.
We don't believe a word you say, and I don't trust either one, but you can tell us.
Two losers had a secret meeting. Wooooooptiiiiiiiiiidoooooooo.
WHY is everything this man does "private"... his records as governor: private. His meeting with Santorum: private. His tax returns: private. His conspiracy with McConnell: private. His thoughts on government transparency? keep it private. Basically, he is letting us voters know right up front that the way he will run his office is none of our business.
Romney is the establishment candidate and the tea people shouldn't support him because he doesn't care about those ideas. This isn't to say that the tea groups are really going to support those that need help any how.
he was part of the gang that helped send jobs to china-i guess him and mitt are going to talk about the good old days when america was a manufacturing giant of the world
Wow. I'll bet the room was abuzz. It's rumored that the servants had to stand close with fire extinguishers, in case the drapes caught fire.
one thing you won,t get from mitt is[made in america]you will get[ sold in america] at least obama,s trying to change that the the republicans are no help at all.before reagan you could go into any store in america buy shoes cloths washing machines the lable would say built in america
OMG! He,s not supposed to do that, right?
Of course he met with Mitch. Had to get the lecture on saying "NO" to everything Obama proposes. I guess that's what they mean by moving the country forward.
Romney and the GOP are domestic terrorists. Where's SEALTeam 6 when you need them?
