MarginOfError Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) President Barack Obama is getting some flack ... after enjoying a beer.He was at an NBA basketball game and ordered a brew. Images of Mr. Obama enjoying a beer have angered some people.One caller to WWL complained, "People are losing 5, 10, 20 thousand dollars a day in the stock market, and he's sitting there drinking a beer!" She also said, "It's insulting... there's a lot of people suffering." She insisted President Obama should not publicly have fun during a time of so much pain.another woman was upset about the courtside presidential beer. "The president is the president 24 hours a day. I don't think he should drink on the job."WWL - AM870 | FM105.3 | News | Talk | Sports - Obama beer sparks controversyOh the horrors! We elected a man who drinks BEER...at a basketball game!!!!

We elected a man who drinks BEER...at a basketball game!!!! What ever will we do?!?!?!?!?!?I know, Moe. I know. I expected President Obama to wear sackcloth and rend his clothing while he wept, crying up to the heavens 24 hours a day. Next, they'll be saying he sometimes likes to wear comfortable clothing or spend an afternoon throwing a football around with his son. Quote

pam Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Seriously though...how people can get so upset seeing President Obama drinking a beer is beyond me. Quote
Guest Godless Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Lol, this came up the other day on a beer forum I frequent. People were making fun of the fact that he was drinking the cheap stuff, which unfortunately is the only beer you can get at the Verizon Center. Quote
Guest Godless Posted March 4, 2009 Report Posted March 4, 2009 Oh and I heard it was an import.....Heineken? Ew. Quote
