    I agree. When I saw the story, I immediately got irritated. First of all, the President is in Bavaria. He'd better be drinking a damned beer! And secondly, it was a Hefeweizen. I mean, lighten up! And since when is eleven o'clock too early for a beer?! Attention restaurants and taverns! You better stop serving! Give me a break.

    Obama really needs to set up an account on BA and rate his beers. ... If he trades, he would have some great places in DC to buy from. And screw it, he could have people wait in line for him to get whales.

    Well, it should have been an American beer, right? How fucking stupid can people really be?

    Clearly, the media is in the pocket of neo-prohibitionists.

    It would have been inappropriate to not share a beer under those circumstances.

    Times like this make me happy I am an average guy. I'd hate to have anybody care about how I live my life this much.

    11:00am really isn't breakfast either for most people, I eat lunch at that time almost everyday.

    I just heard on Fox News that President Obama had decreed every American Has to drink a beer for breakfast or be fined.

    I have it on good authority that soon after that picture Obama was asleep under the table with Angela Merkel decorating him with magic markers.

    Mr. President should check BA before ordering. Karg Weissbier only gets an 85 on here!

    In all seriousness though, we ought to cut him a break. A relaxed interaction with a foreign leader over a beer sounds like a good way to build friendly international relations.

    You have to be joking, right? If you are not, I'm sorry for your understanding of how big the world really is... if your sentiment is true, there's always Rick Perry to bail you out.

    Doggone it! The title is "Ale to the Chief" when he obviously enjoyed a lager.

    Does this mean I can apply and have ObamaCare cover my beer bill?
