Beer Summit @ White House

[Apollo]

That is your opinion... havent been proven (ruled on) tho.

Keep in mind, You stated Obama had called the cop and personally apologized to him

Well he pretty much apologized.

But I understand some people wanted him to say the actual words

Ohhhhh American democracy. You love to hate it. I really need to get back on my ten year plan to move permanently to Britain. Joining the military shouldn't throw my plans off. I can still make it through school after the fact and be settled in London or something.

C'mon girls.

Move it to CE&P.

This thread was about the beer summit.

And I find it amazing that Americans can trivialize everything from terrorism to war to the constant grinding harangue about your presidents which, incidentally has been going on since Jefferson.

But he did get involved, so he might as well try and fix it and open a bigger dialogue.

And see how effective he's been at that.

There isn't a better or more productive dialogue taking place.

There's video of Obama's happy hour at the White House but I'm not sure why it's being posted since the press were kept 40 feet away so they (and we) couldn't hear anything from this "teachable moment," but you can tell only Biden and Obama were enjoying themselves (or were only acting like it).

Apparently, there was no kiss and makeup between Crowley and Gates, as Crowley said afterwards, he and Gates "agreed to disagree."

Yeah i've been wondering the same thing.

But to be honest, it's mostly the hilary clinton democrats. They still have their panties up their asses.

Casualties spiked after thousands of U.S. and British troops this month launched major operations in southern Helmand province, a Taliban stronghold and the center of Afghanistan's opium production.

"We understood the return of security to these areas would not be achieved without sacrifice," said U.S. Rear Admiral Greg Smith, chief spokesman for U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan.

"For some that has come at a high price," he told Reuters.

"CLEAR, HOLD, BUILD"

The Helmand operations are the first under U.S. President Barack Obama's new regional strategy to defeat the Taliban and its Islamist militant allies and stabilize Afghanistan. They come before crucial presidential elections on August 20.

Truly sad the price of war. I feel for all the soldiers dying for something that should have been solved years ago.

Lets hope their sacrifice wasn't in vane.

If you want a really good shitfight, read 'American Lion' by Jon Meacham about the Jackson Presidency. It puts all of this into perspective.

It will also occupy the all partisan political hacks who occupy their time railing about how awful their president and the whole world is by taking them away from their computers.

I can't think of a president that had this level of criticism only six months into office. Anything Obama says or does is going to be met with complaints. It doesn't really surprise me anymore.


All together now: Ronald Reagan and George Bush, or is your memory to short.

Only in America though.
Of course I say that in the friendliest kind of way.
No knowing when you guys get touchy over trifles.....

If nothing else President Obama has helped with some of the funniest political cartoons I have seen in a while.

And here comedians were scared he wouldn't be funny enough for some soundbites.

I'm actually really hoping that Obama really does invite Michael Vicks and a pit bull over for drinks...

The pit bull would be welcomed inside. Vick can wait in the car with the windows cracked open.

Or not.
