Obama loses boozy bet with Harper
Barack Obama will have to shell out $45.40 for a case of 24 Molson Canadian, after losing a bet to Stephen Harper.

The U.S. President can blame Sidney Crosby, who scored the winning goal in overtime to win the Olympic gold medal in men's hockey.

...

The Canadians prevailed, and Mr. Gibbs must wear a Team Canada jersey at his next press gaggle.

Another betrayal of progressive ideals.

4. It will probably all be tracked out on Glenn Beck's chalk board
tomorrow night. President Obama has "socialist" tendencies because he rewarded a socialist government with a present. Damn you Obama!

6. Watch him scribble "CANADA" on his board, and then use the "C" for "COMUNISM"

2. I was just wondering if there was a "bet" placed
At least it's a GOOD beer. Can't wait to see Gibbs in the red jersey!

So,you're half right.
