U.S. Brewers Say Meeting With Professor, Policeman Should Be All-American Affair
The president's plan to toss back a few cold ones with some high-profile guests at the White House has the American beer industry hopping mad.

Obama drinking Sam Adams would be like Dracula chugging Holy water! Just another ‘brew-up’ on Obama’s watch. :-)
Colt 45.

I hate to think of the innumerable ways they are going to spin this to make Crowley look like another Koolaid drinker.
Forget about beer!
Why would Muslim Obama be drinking beer?
So we’ve gone from Rodney King asking “can’t we all just get along?” to Barack Obama saying “come here and let’s all get along (or else)”.
Jesse Jackson owns the franchise to distribute the Budweiser brand in Chicago.
It’s the beer all authentic black men drink.
FYI: Liberal Muslims are allowed to drink alcholic beverages. /sarcasm
I wonder if "Mr Roller Cooler-Cooler Roller" will be there.
(singing) "It's got wheels."
Bud Lite is barely beer.
Huh? I thought it was Miller Beer(the champagne of bottled beers).
Bud Light. What a putz. He can’t even drink a decent beer.
He not, he’s drinking Bud “Light”.
