It appears that in order to hold a discussion the President, in some fashion has to drug his guests. Otherwise why would it be the highlight of his meeting with the Cambridge Policeman and Gates that they should indicate what "beer" they want to drink. It is a terrible example for the young people to make alcohol his center piece. That is all that has been covered by the media. Given the number of people in the world who suffer from some form of addiction to make another drug the key to a Presidential meeting is beyond the pale. I know there will be all sorts of response that it is just "beer" but it is a form of a drug and should not be the principle line item on the Presidents agenda and an example being set for the youth.
