That kid looks like he could not be less interested in sitting next to the most powerful person on the planet.

I think that an intervention may be in Pres. Obama's future.

He moonlights as a racist Cambridge cop.  Times are hard, you know.

Obama's shitty beer choices continue to undermine my confidence in his ability to steer the ship of state.  Really? Bud Light?

Maybe not for the Blue Moon... definitely for the orange garnish.

I bet this choice was calculated to make him look like "one of the boys."

Or, as I've been informed, Anti-American.

It was a no-win: all the big American breweries are owned by foreign corporations.  Plus they'd say he's pandering.  If he drinks a Sam Adams, say, that's American, but he gets hit for being highfalutin'.


If I'd been advising him, I'd have told him to go with some Chicago-area local beer.  He'd still get hammered by his critics, but it would seem to be the most authentic choice for a very un-authentic situation.

I think Coors is only half Canadian.

I think Obama should "Buy American" by only wearing American Apparel.

I would have recommended Dog Fish Head 90 IPA

Best (readily available) Beer in America.
