Obama, Romney meet up for 'friendly' lunch

President Barack Obama and Mitt Romney met for lunch Thursday at the White House, discussing America's leadership in the world and pledging to stay in touch after a bitter presidential contest.

In their first meeting since the election, Obama and the Republican nominee shook hands in the Oval Office and had an hourlong lunch of white turkey chili and Southwestern grilled chicken salad in the private White House dining room.

Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom called it a "very friendly lunch."

The White House said Romney congratulated the president on his successful campaign and wished him well in the coming four years.

White House officials said the two men pledged to stay in touch, particularly if opportunities to work together on shared interests arise in the future.

THE GAME: I'm Paying Voters to Vote.

Rapper The Game isn't letting New Yorkers use Hurricane Sandy as an excuse not to vote today, he's already shelled out $10,000 to 500 voters stranded by the storm ... in order to help them make it to the polls.

Game tells us, the money was intended to help voters who were hit hard by last week's disaster to pay for gas or another form of transportation in order to cast their ballot.

And get this -- Game says he's so committed to the cause ... he even helped shuttle people to the polls in his own car.

By the way, Game ... who lives in LA, says he voted by absentee ballot -- and claims he's not doing this to influence people to vote for President Obama.
