Drinking in the WH?

ABC News blog ^ | 1.29.09 | Jake Tapper

President Obama, it should be noted, is not a particularly big drinker, though he has been known to enjoy a vodka martini time and again.

“President Obama, it should be noted,
is not a particularly big drinker,”

Translation: He’s a big drinker. I know he likes beer and wine as well. Kendall Jackson Chardonnay.

[Rapunzel]

He is probably having these ‘socials’ to find out which ones smoke and which ones smoke...what??? Now that he is in DC, he may need a new connection/source!

He could never be mistaken as a Colt-45 dude.

[olivia3boys]

Wow, I love Kendall Jackson Chardonnay! Guess I have something in common with Obama after all.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Okay, I’ll rewrite this as if I were an MSM hack writing about McCain if he had won the Presidency:

“President McCain is a big lush.”

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

He drinks chardonnay? He should hand in his man card immediately! ;)

Real men drink cabernet sauvignon.

[Vendome]

Drinking in the Whitehouse? No kidding? Gee I usually think of news organizations as reporting news.

But “the one” Drinks a “Vodka Martini”?

Well alright, I guess he is the new James Bond.

This is tabloid and entertainment, unless... oh, wait. What if drinking is a gateway drug and Obama has suffered from the pressure and began to smoke again and take cocaine blah, blah, blah.

That is where this is going.

This just SCREAMS to be Photoshopped with BH&MO’s faces. Unfortunately I don’t have Photoshop.

We who are right of center are shaken, not stirred.

Dom 1999, Michelle's everyday happy hour request. Compliments USTAXPAYER...and don't forget the little fish eggs.

[absolootezer0]

no, its the martinis for lunch crowd that are big drinkers.

i think i’m still safe, i haven’t gotten past beers for lunch.

"I walked into 7/11 this morning for coffee and was instantly blinded by all the Hussein and Dear Wife pictures on the covers of magazines at the check out counter. From People to Time and all the rags in between. It’s taken me a few hours to recover my sanity and eyesight."

I've taken an "out-of-site, Obamassiah-rag-might-not-sell" approach.

In the grocery checkout line, as the person ahead of me is being waited on, I act interesterd in and pick up any mag with Obamassiah on the cover. My interest in each one doesn't linger very long, and I "reverently" put them back in their respective positions in the reverse of what they were origionally, with the back cover now the "selling point".

I wish I knew how many of the weekly mags with Obamassiah on the front that I have "read" have had to be "recycled" due to not selling.

I hope it's a LOT.

[Old Teufel Hunden]

Just a question, isn’t it true that Moslems aren’t supposed to drink?

[End Times Sentinel]

Merriam-Webster says time and again means frequently, repeatedly. Perhaps Tapper just misspoke, but some editor somewhere ought to know better.

Okay, I thought I was the only one that would notice that.

Tapper PROBABLY meant "from time to time", but it's an odd mistake to make.

This story is more a tribute to the embarrassing stupidity of the MSM than about "The One"'s drinking.

Go to AllenBrothers.com and get a look at how much wagyu beef costs. The taxpayers of this country should be outraged.

CAUTION: Use of Colt 45 will cause the ladies to SWOON!

Kool Aid and Absinthe?
