Obama drinking free beer

Owner complains Obama’s beer tent stop cost him $25,000. We’re at the point where if we could only limit the havoc wrought by the Light-drinker on each of us to $25K per head, that would be an improvement.

  • just where were oprah, rosie, roseanne, and mishi...elle anyways?

    enquiring minds actually don't care.

  • Look at Obama's face. He's staring at the beer, going "Holy crap! What is this magical amber liquid?! It's so different from my usual French wine and Raspberry Schnaps!"

    • The beer, named White House Honey Ale, comes in both a light and dark variety. The honey portion of the drink is taken from first lady Michelle Obama's garden beehive.

      "I think I've only tried the light, and it's quite refreshing," Carney confessed, although he admitted that he wasn't a beer aficionado.

      this from a dif article entirely.
      1st.
      no self-respecting beer drinker EVER calls him/herself an afficianado, at least not of beer, which leads me to:
      2nd. if carney's not drinking beer, what is he doing?
      3rd, if we're to let the poor drink beer that they might forget their troubles, then why aren't the o's redistributing that brew to some of us poor folk? huh? huh? huh?

  • Nothing new here. Obama shows up, tens of thousands of dollars are lost. This guy is a black hole when it comes to other people's money (am I allowed to say black hole and not be a racist?)

      • Dallas Co.

        says it all. ignorant black people who don't understand science terms. Devil's food is chocolate, not black, and i prefer it to angel food cake anyway, and i'm white, glaringly so.

        black sheep
        More recently the rhyme has been connected to the slave trade, particularly in the southern United States.[7] This explanation was advanced during debates over political correctness and the use and reform of nursery rhymes in the 1980s, but there is no historical evidence to support this case.[8] Rather than being negative, the wool of black sheep may have been prized as it could be made into dark cloth without dyeing

        • I'm guessing there are plenty of ignorant white people that don't know those scientific terms also, Robert.

          • well sure, i grew up with a great many of them, in more than one trailer park, but I rose above, true, i got some knocks along the way, and i really ought to've specified that these ignorant black folk are the primary ppl hollering about "racist" terminology. Dallas has been screwed up since, Barbara Jordan, i think it was. oh what a disgusting person.

          • you're right, she was. I plead a faulty memory cuz it was years ago. however, if i recall correctly, she had a rabid audience in Dallas Co.

  • The owner should send the DNC the bill for lost revenue. How much do you want to bet "Dear Leader's" next beer tent appearance is BYOB.

  • Surely he has one of those "we reserve the right to refuse service to anyone." placards he could've posted. How much money is this small biz owner gonna make because he served this kenyan.

  • Did mooochelle approve if the beer and eats? This man has no clue on connecting with the average American.

  • Who dresses this guy? The shirt looks like a picnic tablecloth that's about 4 sizes too big. Don't tell me he's spending our money at Walmart. Only thing missing is the Mom jeans.

    • Most men are dresssed by their wives. Having seen some of Michelle's nightmare ensembles, what do you think she is going to pick for him? Though I will give her credit that she looked nice on Jay Leno a couple nights ago. Still Sleevelss, but she didn't look like a reject from Goodwill.

    • He really wanted to pull the shirt out, button only the top button and drop is pants half way down his skinny ass.
