Obama can't even pick beers right

So much for Red, Light, and Blue. Which were obviously chosen solely to create that stupid-ass fucking tagline.

Among rival brewers, the news fell flat. "We would hope they would pick a family-owned, American beer to lubricate the conversation," said Bill Manley, a spokesman for the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co., a California-based brewer that happens to be family-owned.
Jim Koch, founder of Boston Beer Co., which brews Samuel Adams, decried "the foreign domination of something so basic and important to our culture as beer."
Richard Neal, a Massachusetts Congressman who has also written the White House amid the beer ferment, also hopes the meeting will promote beer-drinking nationalism. In a not-so-subtle dig at Bud, he said he knew he and the president "both share a common interest in fostering the success of American-headquartered companies."

More outraged American brewers at the link.

1 Jeebus H Christ, can't something go on in Washington without it being analyzed to death? I mean, who gives a flying fuck what brand of beer the President served/drank/whatever?

2 It was talk about the brands of beers or do another piece on Michelle's arms.

3 Actually, I think this is a place where he fucked up yet again, eddie. At least one of the beers should have been a truly domestic beer. Consider it a smaller version of buying an American car.

If they were really trying to be a bipartisan about it, they could have chosen a Coors beer for at least one of them, to include the GOP contingent.

Considering what a big thing the White House made of the Beer Summit, they had to figure someone would be looking at what beers were chosen beyond the colors of the labels. Oh, wait...

4 That makes me laugh.
At least they got some free advertising and some OUTRAGE!

It reminds me of Bush the Wimpier saying he hated broccoli. Maybe Obama is just trying to get them to ship him a few trucks of beer.
