Sam Jackson, on the other hand...
But seriously, I can't get over this: Bud freakin' Light? Are you a college freshman or a fat Nascar fan or a Southerner? Why don't you just serve them Tang instead?
Dumbest quote ever. The choice of beer doesn't make this stupid, this situation makes this stupid. Obama is trying waaaaay too hard to cover his *** for diving into a situation he should have just kept out of, and is only digging even deeper. And honsetly, his PR department is either full of morons, or else feels that they need to cater to America like everyone is a complete moron, which works for a good part of the populace, but not everyone.
Honestly, I don't think Barack Obama knows what beer even is, but his PR people were probably saying something along the lines of "You know what would make you seem cooler in the eyes of Americans? They like to drink lots of beer, so maybe if the President of the United States drinks a beer with his college professor friend who has a temper tantrum at a police officer over racism allegations with that police officer, they'll think you're normal. We better make it a beer they like, though, or else they'll think we're not like them."
I wish they'd put as much thought into the economy or health care as it seems they do trying to boost his image by 'just having a beer' with random people. Stephen Colbert had a good quote last night along the lines of 'the "teaching moment" is that if you arrest a black man under questionable circumstances, you get invited to the White House to have a beer with the President.'
Sam Adams sucks.
Liking Bud and saying Sam Adams sucks is rather perplexing.Not sure I should ever listen to your beer critiques again.

Hehe:
(Heard the Sam Adams guy on WEEI last night talking about "domestic" beer - the largest truly American-owned beer company (Sam Adams) makes up only .8% of the US beer market. I found that interesting.)
If LBJ were alive today, I'm sure he would be shocked to learn that all he needed to do for racial harmony was host a kegger at the White House.
Is there anything this President CAN'T do?
(swoon)
I'm sure he or GWB would have served a Shiner Bock or a Lone Star...
As much of an Obama supporter as I was... man this guy's losing a lot of ground with me.
A Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA would have been a good choice as it's delicious, American made (local even), and drinking one would have had the same result as drinking tequilla.
The only thing more comical than everyone wanting to drink with W was the fact that he was a recovering alcoholic. He wasn't drinking, period.
