For the first time after one of the most bitter and expensive presidential campaign that resulted in President Obama getting a second term in the Oval Office, Obama and former GOP contender Mitt Romney will come face to face.
The White House has announced that Obama and Romney will meet at the White House in the private dining room on Thursday.
On election night, Obama said he was looking forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where they can work together to move this country forward.
The meeting between the two will be closed to the media and The White House said it will be the first opportunity they have had to visit since the election.
What both men will discuss was not released by the White House.
The meetings comes as the president is involved in ongoing negotiations with Congress to "prevent the economy from going over the "fiscal cliff" of mandatory spending cuts and tax increases set for Jan 1."
Romney told his top donors that Obama won the election because of gifts he gave to minorities and young voters.
Obama won the Electoral College with 332 votes to Romney's 206.
In addition to Florida, Obama won nearly all of the swing states - Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Iowa, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Virginia, Colorado and Nevada. Romney carried North Carolina.
