In perhaps the most startling revelation so far in Obama’s three-day bus tour across Iowa, it was revealed this morning that the White House brews its own beer, and that the presidential bus is stocked with bottles of that beer.That is pretty sweet. More Americans may want to have a beer with George W. Bush, but unlike Bush (or, unfortunately, Biden) Obama actually might have a beer with you.
The revelation came incidentally, when a man at the Knoxville coffee shop where Obama stopped today somehow got the president onto the subject of beer, and Obama noted that a sample of the White House’s home brew was just outside.
(The existence of White House home brew has been previously reported, in a spate of stories in 2011.)
Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki told reporters that Obama gave the man a full bottle of said beer, retrieved from the bus.
In a press gaggle a short time later, White House Spokesman Jay Carney took several questions about the beer, some which he could answer, others he could not.
The beer comes in two varieties, light and dark, Carney said. He has personally sampled the lighter brew, and declared it “refreshing.”
“It is superb,” he said. “It is quite good.”
Does the president himself drink the beer? Indeed he does, Carney said.

Presidential Beer

Tells you a lot about Obama. He has such a high opinion of himself that he cannot stoop to drink Natty Light like us commoners. He has to use taxpayer dollars to create his own special brew that is only accessible to a few select cronies. Sort of like Obamacare is good enough for us but if your in the administration or Congress you get your own special healthcare. What a joke this administration has become.
ReplyDeleteYou have some issues. I would wager that the beer isn't even a blip in the White House annual expenses. I think it is kickass that we have a President who has beer brewed at the White House.
