Just a side note about that friendly beer in the White House...
   
...am I the only one who expects a few whiny parents to slam Obama for setting a bad example for children by offering a beer (as opposed to a Coke or whatever else) to Gates and Crowley, and for the media to run with it for at least half a week?

I guess they'll whine about anything on the DUmp.

Had President Bush invited someone to the White House for a coffee or something, the DUmmies would have been furious that it weren't for a beer.

Nah, they woulda cackled gleefully, because then it would be proof that he was a raging alchohaulic.   :whatever:

If Bush had even considered a glass of wine with dinner the DUmp would have insulted and derided him for years.

5. I'd rather they smoked a doob..
   
Less likely to get pissed off that way..

Why is one mind altering substance OK and another so demonized?

Maybe Obummer could offer to do a few lines of coke with the officer?  At least Obama could teach him how to cut the lines, at the very least.
