Real Reason for Beer Summits Discovered

Home - by Lori Ziganto - March 1, 2010 - 11:17 UTC - 20 Comments

Turns out, not only was Obama told to stop smoking (meaning he still does. Which only bothers me due to his rank hypocrisy) but the man who fancies himself a health expert and everyone’s doctor was also told to “moderate his alcohol intake.” Besides wondering just how much he does drink that he needs to be told to moderate it, Ann Althouse makes a good point:

(If you think we shouldn’t be talking about the President this way, let’s remember how people called Bush a “dry drunk.” That is, he was criticized for being a drunk when he didn’t drink at all!)

The beer summits are really just a regular day! Shall we rename the White House, the Par-tay House? Maybe this is just something else that he inherited from Bush. Or, Anheiser-Busch.

    I wish he would switch to Muskatel and Ripple.
    Fred G Sanford drank that.
    He called it “Muskatipple”

    Sheesh. Could you imagine his ninth step amends list? Finally, having to apologize for himself instead of apologizing for others. AND on top of it having to apologize TO America for having apologized FOR America. They say the steps are ego deflation. I would hate to be downwind when this douche gets deflated.

    So, just how much is he drinking- enough that it’s showing in medical tests? Does he have early signs of liver damage?

    **O swilling liquor in the White House and smokin’ cigs, passes out, cig drops into a couch starting a fire…so,would Meeshell save the George Washington painting like Dolly Madison did?** ;)

    So when does this doc have the IRS or FBI checking him out FDR style?
    It is great to see though, that Bambi has his checkups at the same fine institution that helped John Murtha

    On a related note, Obama owes Canadian Prime Minister Harper a case of beer.

    He smokes because he’s a complete amateur in a pro game. Don’t expect that to stop anytime soon.

    He drinks because of what he has to go home to at the end of the day.
    I’m giving him a break on that one.

    Wait a sec, in the update at Althouses blog:

    http://althouse.blogspot.com/2010/03/how-many-beers-day-would-obama-need-to.html

    The actual wording is (PDF):

    Continue smoking cessation efforts, a daily exercise program, healthy diet, moderation in alcohol intake, periodic dental care, and remain up to date with recommended immunizations.

    Why does The Guardian hate our President?!

    Recommending “moderation of” is completely different from recommending continuation of “moderation in.” Reading the original report, I’d say the doctor told Obama that the amount he was drinking was just fine.

    I know, it was too good to check.

    Well thank goodness the US didn’t win the gold medal because our PM would be sending him a case of beer.

    What was the old quote–the bars are closed on election day so we can’t drink while voting for the bums that’ll drive us to booze the next four years. One down, three to go, and there’s a margarita waiting for me at home tonight.

    It is racist to tell a mulatto to quit drinking and smoking. Next, they’ll tell him to get loose shoes.

    I thought muslims were not supposed to partake of alcohol.
    Unless, of course it is done while fooling the infidels into complacency so you can…

    Oh, never mind.
    Disregard.
