Barack Obama Likes Beer, Okay??

From a 60 Minutes interview with Obama and Biden:

“But you tried really hard to reach these people,” [Steve] Kroft pressed. “You went and sipped beer, which I know you don’t particularly like — I mean you even…”

“Steve, I had a beer last night,” Obama interjected. “I mean, where do these stories come from, man?”

“I’m the one… [that] doesn’t drink,” Biden added.

“Where does the story come from that…I don’t like beer?” Obama asked. “C’mon, man.”

He probably had a Stella Artois. With a bowl of granola instead of beer nuts. Because that’s what fancy-pants liberal elitists do.

Update: Obama has a beer named after him in Kenya. And John McCain hates beer.

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
