White House Race Discussion Beer Poll

well okay if thrown off doesn't work for you then like HI DERE says, you're hung up on it.

either way, you're overthinking it by like a million percent. yes, rituals and meetings have hidden agendas and rhetoric and stuff, but i think at the end of the day it sounds like you just don't like beer

Que we should definitely settle our difference of opinion here over a beer

anyway i live in DC, c'mon down to visit, we'll have some 60 Minute IPA's and laugh about it

xpost HI FIVES

i guess i'm not sure if there is another rhetorical setting you would find better or if any rhetorical setting would bother you?

watch out, Que's going to have his girlfriend Julianne Moore fling paint on you

wait, you like Julianne Moore, nvrmind go knock yrself out

let's get together & solve racism over coffee & danish

the new album from Sufjan Stevens

tbh i think this beer meeting was awesome

Yes, because Crowley made a joke about it and Obama decided to call his bluff.

Did not know!

yeah that's crazy i had no idea--i like the meeting more and more the more i think about it

If there is any rhetorical imagery I think people should take away from it, it's the idea that people who have issues with each other that stem from racial friction can actually sit down and talk to each other like rational adults and come out the other side still behaving like rational adults.

Earlier Thursday, Obama said the chat was prompted by an exchange he had with Crowley, who said in a phone call with Obama, "Maybe I'll have a beer in the White House someday."

The president replied that that could be arranged.

also lol Obama, you are awesome:

"This is not a university seminar. It is not a summit. It's an attempt to have some personal interaction when an issue has become so hyped and so symbolic that you lose sight of just the fact that these are people involved," he said.

He said he would be surprised if the media makes the meeting out to be more important than his meeting Thursday with Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, president of the Philippines, but "the press has surprised me before."

<3

oh, obamapaws

lol!

this whole episode has depressed me greatly, and the presidents involvement was pretty dim, but that is great

yes mr president there will be 4 kajillion blog posts about yr meeting w/ gloria macawhatsis

maybe she can bring him a six pack of san miguel

Kudos for completely misinterpreting Obama's slam on the media coverage of Beer Summit 2009

srsly mr president you need to start drinking some real beer

red stripe gonna walk this poll obv, 2nd place is a bit more uncertain?

of the three, blue moon is the only one which constitutes a 'good' (but not great) beer. raise yer standards

I've got a few stripes in my fridge. don't mind if I have one right now..

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

probably have to go with Red Stripe, even though I don't love it. Unless I was simply having a single beer, Blue Moon would be the last one I'd go for if presented these three options.

Hoooray beer

shoulda had a lone star
