Gatesgate Begets Beergate

One controversy after another dogs El Presidente as he pours a cold one with his new-found beer buddies.

Earlier this week the White House indicated each man would drink the beer of their choice — Bud Light for President Obama, Blue Moon for the police officer, and perhaps Red Stripe or Beck’s for Gates.

But one Massachusetts congressman thinks another beer entirely should be served: Boston’s own Sam Adams.

In a letter to Obama dated Wednesday, Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal strongly urges the president not to drink Budweiser, now owned by a Belgian company. Nor should the White House consider serving Miller or Coors, Neal writes, both owned by a United Kingdom conglomerate.

These are weighty issues. This is behavior unbecoming the leader of the free world. I think the President should just resign.

(I glad that I created our new “Beer” tag because it appears to be well positioned for heavy use in the immediate future)

But in the mean time and in light of Congressman Neal’s push to elevate one’s choice of beer to the national stage, we can speak up, be heard, and tell our President what beer we think he should drink for the betterment of our nation (these are all real beers).

  1. Angryclown is upset that you didn’t list “Jesus Juice” as that is what he serves his guests.

  2. He’s also half white, so no Mich Golden Draft Light?

    What? No Old English 800?

  3. Angryclown is upset that you didn’t list “Jesus Juice” as that is what he serves his guests.

    Is that another name for Seltzer Water?

  4. Clownboy, is he black? Lilly white mother. Check. Raised by his lilly white bank president grandmother on the sandy beaches of Hawaii. Check. You have to wonder if Barry even saw a black person before he turned 18.

    But serious, the answer to the question on what beer should he drink….it’s whatever the pollster tell him to today.

  5. Something from PigsEye brewing? Or one of the Summit ale’s?

  6. Johnny, Google “Jesus Juice”. It’s not seltzer water. And given that both the Professor and the Sargeant are of Irish ancestry, I’m surprised that: 1. Guinness is not a selection; and 2. Irish groups aren’t protesting that The One is stereotyping the Irish by making sure both Gates and Crowley show up by offering free beer.

    Thanks a lot Seflores.

    I did.

    That was almost as bad as the time Smithers told me to Google “Prince Albert” when I asked what that was.
