1. K & R.

I listened to this on the podcast last night, but I haven't heard the reaction from the right. I'm going to assume they found some ridiculous reason to bash it.

5. This is a quote from the local bb in my home town.

This town is so full of racists it's pathetic, but they just floor me sometimes. Let me share this tidbit just to show how these fools work
QUOTE-
"The little beer-fest love-in was a disgusting display and a poor example for our children to witness. If the POTUS can drink so casually, even though he probably drinks 40oz ,fortys, with his homeys, why shouldn't our kids do the same? Remember how a certain type of sex was proclaimed to not be sex by Slick Willie and young girls turned in to shop-vacs? Democrats have so shame; we already know they have no souls but they could at least lead by example even if they have no self respect."
END QUOTE

Honestly, I'm one of a hand full of normal people around here that post on the local board and if it weren't for family ties and jobs, I wouldn't choose to live here at all.

2. Would I have a beer with the President, sure. He ain't a t-total like the fictious scenario in 2004.

3. For the love of mud! I can't believe this is an issue. n/t

6. After listening to every word of that segment, this is what sticks out

"Sitting around talking while drinking a beer? I'm in!" Joe Biden :rofl:

I had no idea Biden was a smoker. I think it's great that this was that much of a relaxed atmosphere for these guys.

Has this ever happened before in presidential history?

8. I doubt it will do a thing for the non-famous rousted by cops.

But at least this case works out well.

Says more about money than anything else. You think if that professor were a student, or was just coming home from work at McDonald's, he would have gotten to hash it out with the President, etc? He would have spent his day in court.
