Hey, Obama… Beer Me

This little bit of amateur theater was just embarrassing.

  1. No kidding! I sat down to watch the news and this was the live feed. Of all the issues facing Obama’s America, the cameramen are tripping over each other to get this.

    I swear the President will start an all out race war before his first term is finished. Dude needs a lockdown filter when he’s not on the teleprompter.

  2. It’s probably safe to assume that Gates wasn’t asked to show his ID when he arrived.

  4. Barry sure stepped in it and now he’s trying to wipe off his shoes.

  5. What was Biden doing there? Trying to balance out the color chart? Or just there so he could make a stupider comment than Barry?

  6. Wow, so Joe Biden’s actually at a table with three people who’ve said and done more stupid things than he’s done in the last two weeks.

    A rare occurrence for our Vice President indeed.

  7. I wonder if they served both light and dark beer.

  8. I love how Obama made sure this was cast as a “Beer Summit” to make sure he could get back in the good graces with the regular white guy in America. 

    For some reason this whole thing reminded me of Dukakis riding in that tank.  Except that this time the media tried their hardest to make sure Obama came out looking good.

  9. Only thing that could have made this better was if they would have went bowling!

  10. Maybe next week Obama can have my two kids for some chocolate milk to get them to stop fighting over the TV.

  11. Why weren’t any other races represented?

  12. Two blacks, one white, and a blithering idiot do not cover the spectrum if you ask me.

  13. What’s the problem here, except for the fact that it was conceived and hosted by someone you all don’t like?

    BTW “beer summit” was a press invention.  And a stupid one at that.

  14. Why wasn’t there a Latina women at this gathering?

  15. The white table probably irked Professor Gates to no end.

    As I said at the post with the cartoon… 

    a) I’m surprised Obama didn’t offer the cop a donut.  It would’ve been more honest of his belief structure, lest we forget that his automatic reaction to the incident was that the cops “acted stupidly” without consideration for the facts.

    b) Are we to believe that a man who complains about the price of arugula at Whole Foods really settles disagreements over a beer?  Have you seen this man throw a baseball?

    Where are the mom-jeans?

  16. Nice to have a president who can drink. He might not be able to hold his tongue, but at least he can hold his liquor.

  17. But not just ANY latina, #14… only a WISE one will do.

  18. Wow.  Some of you reallllly hate that we have a black president.

  19. No asdg, we hate that this President uses symbolic gestures such as this to curry favor and cover his stupid mistakes.

    ....kind of like when the Left went completely bonkers over Bush’s aircraft carrier landing and ‘Mission Accomplished’ banner. 

    So, using your idiot logic and stupid comment, you and the the Left just really hate that we had a white President.  Right?

  20. If the President were James T. Harris or Alan Keys…I’d have no problem.

    It the fact that he is a socialist who over taxes and has no clue what he is doing that bothers me.

  21. The build up was greater than the event which is typical Obama.  But I do recall him saying to the press that it would just be three guys having a drink after work. 

    So tell me how did it get to be four?  Was Joe’s nose out of joint over the deal or was their a real attempt to get racial balance? 

    Regardless this president never runs out of campaign stunts…campaign or not the stunts just keep on coming. 

    I gotta say the butler with the silver tray and one beer at a time was a bit over the top.  Maybe somebody should ask what this cost the taxpayers?

  22. I’d vote for Clarence Thomas for President in a heartbeat - Or Condi.

  23. Equating this with Mission Accomplished is quite a stretch.  No one died because of this event; hundreds of thousands have died in Iraq.
