Obamamania has intoxicated many of America’s liberal primary and caucus goers, but in Kenya it has been elevated to a higher level - 6% alcohol content to be exact - in what is now the hottest selling item in the country. Senator Beer.
In Kenya, it is in a brown bottle that is served in jugs. Obama’a father was from Kenya, which is why the citizens of the country identify with the Illinois Senator and have made him their role model. The brewery was smart enough, however, to avoid using the name “Barack,” so as not to encourage lawsuits.
An enterprising brewer (East African Breweries Ltd) took note of the fame generated by Obama and introduced a cheap brew that was safe and lower in alcohol content. Kenyan beer normally have as much as 40% alcohol. The brewery’s low alcohol lager effort is “Senator Keg” beer that patrons simply refer to as “Obama.” The depressed economy has made beer drinkers switch to cheaper beer, and what better way to pass the time talking about politics and life itself, than a glass of Obama.
Raising a glass of Obama apparently raises their hopes too. Fears of encouraging alcoholism because of its low price is being disputed by its low alcohol, which brewers contend is supportive of responsible consumption. Kenyans can therefore get tipsy on Obama, and can still grow up as responsible citizens - much like their idol’s experiments with substances. Whatever Obama says in speeches, you can expect Kenyans hearing it on radio or watching on TV to say, “I’ll drink to that.”
I’d prefer something like “Six of these, are you’ll go home riding dirty!” but then again, I’m no copywriter.

It's the new "Billy Beer."
“The brewery was smart enough, however, to avoid using the name “Barack,” so as not to encourage lawsuits.”
They should have called it ‘Elephant Ears Pale Ale”.
Obeerma?
Too bad that beer is haram, or this might have become the official beer of the Obama campaign.
There was a Kenyan beer called "Tusker." It would give you a hangeover while drinking the first one.
I heard that
Barack six-pack? Nascar Barry? Grandma’s Malt Liquor?
Case of liberalism.
My question too. That’s a bottle of booze with a bead of sweat in it.
No wonder old man Obama was driving drunk when he had his accident. Probably took him days before he realized they cut of his legs.
Kenyan beer; when one is all you need!
Man, I’m Stealing that!!!

Funny one! I like the throwaway line at the end about all foam, no beer.
