Election Day Fun: Obama, Romney Food Art

Both candidates have been busy all day, making last minute speeches and appearances in their final moments before they just sit and wait for the news.

But even the leader of the free world needs a little something-something to get him through the day. Both Barack Obama and Mitt Romney have tweeted what they're snacking on -- and who they're snacking with.

Let's take a look:

A campaign worker snapped this picture of Mitt Romney enjoying one last peanut butter and honey sandwich on Air Romney.

Meanwhile, in Ohio, Barack Obama has a few minutes of coffee talk with Bruce Springsteen and Jay-Z.

Did you vote? Then reward yourself at one of these places giving away free stuff -- just for doing your civic duty.
