"Meeting for a beer" and "Meeting for a coffee" are just two ways of saying .. "Let's hang out and talk to each other." People I'm sure are free to drink water or coke or non-alcoholic drinks.

Methinks this is a tempest in a teapot!

You are absolutely 100% correct. He will not apologize or even admit when he is wrong. Remember he still doesn't think the surge worked in Iraq and that the USA can ever do anything right.(Unless, of course, he does it)

I also agree with UpNorth...this will be turning a lemon into lemonade. Remember their rule about letting no crisis go to waste.

BINGO

Remember that laughter is good medicine.

Folks , I think were looking at this all wrong...I am not the least bit concerned about his alcohol consumption !!
I am more concerned about mine sense he became President......

slurred speech Fumar

the event. The cop is out numbered by the elitists with an agenda, who will say and do what ever is needed to further their agenda.
To promote the so called learning or teaching moment in itself has in it's wording the issue is as the elitists perceive or choose to have it play out.
The only teaching moment I can glean from the incident information is that both elitists need to watch their mouths!!!!
Even Colin Powell said hat!!!!!!!!!!!

The President is being blasted because on prime time National TV, during a press conf about health care he stated "the police acted stupidly" before he, or anyone,had any data to base judgement on. Every single person watching that news conf knew he was going to have to go into a major damage contgrol agenda the moment the words rolled off his lips. This is partof that agenda.

Actually that is not what I meant.....

As an example his choice for Surgeon General is to fat...was one thread.

The list is endless

How would W have handled this? Sent them all off to Gitmo?

Probably would have roughed them up a bit first.

He would have acted presidential and not get into the fray.

Nice conversation...reminds of the photo of the President drinking a beer at a Bulls game sitting next to children..not water...beer !

Next we need a photo of him drinking a beer while smoking a cigg and talking on the phone in the oval office.

I hope you noticed that the Prez was drinking Bud Lite, the top selling beer in the country. It just demonstrates that Barack is one of the guys, kinda just like you and me.
