Obama Visits Iowa State Fair: Four More Beers!

Later, he also passed on a smoothie, reportedly saying the healthy drink “sounds OK, but a beer sounds better.”
 
When he made it to the beer stand, Obama pronounced “Bud Lights all around on me,” to cheers and laughter from the crowd.
 
After checking his wallet, he offered to buy 10 beers for 10 people and chants of “Four More Years” quickly morphed into a chorus of “Four More Beers.”

During the video feed I seen on TV I heard a guy ask "are the beers on you"....and it was at that point he said "let me check my wallet....the beer vendor said "he is stimulating the economy."

He was really caught off guard as I don't think he knew if he had any cash on him..... :rotf:

I must admit. The President did look pretty down to earth..I seen it on Fox of course. Too bad he is so out of touch. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/08/obama-visits-iowa-state-fair-four-more-beers

Of course shutting down the beer tent by the SS cost the owner big bucks for the ten beers that the President bought....

It was petty to not buy beer for the guy holding a Romney sign.

Jay Leno said that this was the first time the President did not spend more money then he had.  :-)

The beer tent being shut deal is making the news today!

I also heard from friends that were trying to go to the fair,  that they could not get there due to traffic being backed up due to the President being in town. So they just bypassed the mess and headed home.

Very true.

All the footage I seen of the fair looked packed when Ryan was there and a ghost town when Obama was there.

According to my friends that were traveling, once the President was there no one else was let in and were being turned away causing a major traffic jam on I-80. The fairgrounds are right off the interstate (sorta.) I hope 10 beers and two porkchops on a stick is enough to keep the fair going for an afternoon!  :rotf:

The world's largest truck stop is on this same interstate. I am sure the truck drivers and motorists loved burning up all that expensive fuel while being stuck in traffic for hours.

 I wonder how many deliveries were late?

When there is already heavy traffic due to a fair...why add in a Presidential motorcade to stop the traffic????????

I think I seen the President buying ralph wiggum a beer!
