Big beer bet for Obama, Harper on Olympic hockey

Yuengling, Yes, good stuff.

USA Hockey played a great game they were plagued with the
“Obama Jinx”

Congratulations taxpayers! By the time 0bama manages to obtain and deliver the case of beer we will probably be out at least a quarter million dollars even if he pays for the beer with his own money, which seems unlikely.

“Yuengling? What a crappy beer”

Actually it’s a GREAT beer! I assume you’ve never had it - or you like light beer.

It’s also the oldest brewery in the country.

I have one "favorite" local channel. It happens to be nbc. By the time Olympic coverage ended local news on other channels was already over. (Other local channels are more biased than national news is.)

It seems just a little funny that nbc could do regular programming from 6:30 to 7:00 every night to show Friends, but couldn't cut Olympic coverage short to do local news. Their priorities are screwed up in my way of looking at things.

Yeungling is conservative brew. Sam Adams is liberal swill . Didn’t their president sponsor some contest where people had sex in public at a church? Seems like that’s something Obama might prefer to a company that kicked out the Teamsters.

Obama is quickly replacing the Sports Illustrated cover as the biggest jinx for sporting world or politicians.

Thank you Obama!

That's ridiculous that your local affiliate was so blind as to not find space for local news. I would be angry, too.

Thanks for the thumbs up on my friend's (Rick Nash) gold. It was a fantastic game; best since 1980!

Good grief, there are a LOT better options than Yuengling to pick from. Congrats to the Canadians, that was a great game!

We watched the hockey game, then ‘Antiques Road Show’ from ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan’, WI. One of my customers was on. I’ll have to be much nicer to her now that I know she’s $5K richer, LOL!

I hope at least this time Obama referred to Harper as the "Prime Minister":

Presidential hopeful Obama ‘promotes’ PM to president

[Rebelbase]

Presidential pussy couldn’t bring himself to offer a case of Samuel Adams.

I cant believe he offered them something they could actually drink, I figured he offer up Bud Light or PBR and they would serve it to baby seals before clubbing.
