So there you have it. The beer summit-
Barak Obama-Bud Lite.
Professor Gates-White Stripe (import from Jamaica).
Officer Crowley-Blue Moon, with a twist of orange.
Joe Biden-Some kind of non-alcoholic crap.
Well, nothing was cleared up in the way of race relations, nor did any teachable moments emerge. Two people pretty much agreed to disagree over what everybody else already pretty much knew was a load of shit. It was all really a rather silly, petty distraction.
On the other hand, one memorable thing did occur.
Barak Obama did the impossible.
The President of The United States managed to make the choice of Budweiser Lite seem pretentious as hell.
