Obama is a homebrewer

[mhenry41h]

On the topic of the thread, I would love to see this recipe.

Coming soon...to a fridge near you.

I now very, very much appreciate the Mods moving political talk to the Debate Forum. It disturbs me to be reminded how many among us get their facts, news and world views from talk radio. I'll be more careful about which threads I open, that's all.

The recipe for "White House Honey Ale" has not been released

And he promised this would be the most transparent administration ever? And they won't even release a beer recipe?

The title had 'Obama' in it. I wanted to know about the beer, but I expected lots of childish and volatile posts. As a whole, I thought the thread was pretty civil and on-topic considering.
On-topic: they have a white house beehive?

 

[edecambra]

I have no agenda here, I just thought that was funny.

That was funny. I'll have to agree I like ed's pale ale but if appreciate if you guys kept your politics in your pants, (or the debate forum at least).

Frank Davis, however, this hardly makes him communist if this is your point. Trying to use a figure a person has claimed to admire as evidence of his/her policies over said persons voting record and actions makes one fall into the Glenn Beck school of conspiracy theories. Let's base our opinions on "real" evidence.

Not correct, Obama credits this man as the person who most influenced his ideology.. Upon his death, Obama sought out and found a new mentor, one who was 'identical' in his ideology as Frank Marshall Davis.. The reverend White.. but of course in the twenty years sitting in the pews, he had no idea of this ideology (even though it was identical to his formative years mentor).. You do know what a 'mentor' is, and the influence such a person has on a young mind, right?

The fact that he sought out a carbon copy to be his spritiual advisor/mentor is 'telling'...

For the record, I first heard about the Frank Marshall Davis thing (in the business news daily) when Obama was running for senator in Illinois against a man I respect as a 'true' intellectual... long before I heard of Glenn Beck... another incorrect 'assumption' on your part...

 

[r8rphan]

Quack.

Is that the readers digest version?

Here, I found the rest of the Digest article:

If it walks like a duck, if it looks like a duck,
if it acts like a duck, and it quacks like a duck...

It's a safe bet that it's a duck...

Paging Glenn Beck...paging Glenn Beck...

Look man, we don't have to agree on politics and heaven knows we obviously don't. You know what I'm sure of? We probably both love beer, so let's tip one back and agree to disagree...Cheers my friend.

Why is it that you guys, when engaged in these 'discussions' always need a straw man to attack as if that is somehow an argument that has merit?

That's fine.. but you brought up the whole socialist/communist thing... and also the discrediting of anyone holding to that opinion of the man, before anyone even did so or alluded to it in any way, at least in todays discussion.. no one else but you.. (I did not go back through all the previous pages)......

and 'that' original statement was also a straw man argument in it's own right... and then you attempted to silence disagreement by elevating yourself to some sort of 'expert' on the subject.. as if that is supposed to impress us plain ole ignorant yokels...

None the less... yeah
Cheers to beers!

I'm disappointed at where this thread went. Throw it into the Politics forum. I enjoy talking beer and stuff, but when people can't leave out the drivel it becomes petty. Never talk politics and religion at dinner or a date. Can we get back to the beer?

 

[r8rphan]

Never talk politics and religion at dinner or a date.

Are you in a round about way, trying to ask one of us out to dinner?

If you were a hot girl I sure would be!

Ben Franklin?

Actually, I think that was Barney Franks boyfriend...

You're right, nobody had brought this up today. In fact, the comments very early were what got me fired up. Perhaps you are right and Obama is a Communist Muslim from Kenya. Truth be told, all of those arguments are conspiracy theories and nothing in his voting record or his political career suggest so. I'm simply stating that super libs thought he was going to be a quasi-socialist leader. They are down on him because he isn't. I just get peeved at comments and theories that are way off base. At any rate, we're to be talking beer here so cheers my friend...Whatcha got on tap?

[r8rphan]

I never said anything about being a muslim or his birth place..All that assuming will get you in trouble..

The fact that he's not acting 'as' socialist to the degree as was expected, has no bearing on his ideology/world view... nor does it mean he is not acting in socialist ways..

It means, there is only so much the American People will put up with, and as such have neutered him to some degree, and that he has gotten into office and has decided it's a pretty cush lifestyle, and wants another term at it...

You can tell much more about a man by who his friends are, and who his enemies are, than you can by what he says, or what he does at any given snapshot period of his life....

Who he surrounds himself with, and who he turns to for advice tell the story...

Not drinking anything at the moment.. That's for later after the days 'to do list' has been first addressed...

 

[bigbopper]

i almost beleive this,even if its true he still SUCKS as president(may be worse than carter

 

[r8rphan]

This is very cool. As a beekeeper myself, I hope to brew this beer when the honey flows in a few months. Maybe he'll also get a mead done this season and have it aged for the big party in early Nov 2012.

FYI, the first make work pay tax refund of $1000 helped me move to a kegging system. I just realized the second Obama tax break has increased our monthly income by $100, which will certainly help the brewing hobby this year. Anybody else use all these Obama tax cuts for brewing purposes?

When did they start calling them the "Obama Tax cuts?" LOL.. He fights the extension of the Bush tax rates tooth and nail, and then when ****** slapped in the mid term election and forced to extend them, suddenly they're the "Obama Tax cuts?" How do they get away with this all the time?...

Is there 'anything' that the left doesn't own?

The last guy wins that prize by a landslide.

Leave the politics out of General Beer Discussion!

 

[LakewoodBrew]

Pretty soon we will have Neo-Nazis espousing the genetic superiority of Belgian White Beer.

Why can't we just talk brew?

Bush's tax policy didn't include the 2% reduction in employee paid FICA taxes...

So, irony that taxes are lower now under Obama than they were under Bush....

I still want the administration's transparency promise to come through and hope they post the recipe!

 

[jjward101]

wow. Really? I'm brewing my 5th batch, and even I know that anything shedding light on home brewing is a good thing.

As a card carrying republican.....please STFU and have a beer.

 

[r8rphan]

Well, 'that' is a good thing!

As my dad used to say.. "Want in one hand, and crap in the other.. See which gets full quickest!"

Let r8rphan have the last word on this. Or it will never end!

Don't B a dik....

 

[cheezydemon3]

If I was RICH (not just president) I would devise recipes all day and have my lackeys brew it.

SO TF WHAT? He Homebrews??????

HELL YES!!!!! That is an amzing and wonderful point. He didn't watch the thermometer himself? SO WHAT!!!!!

 

[r8rphan]

If I was RICH (not just president) I would devise recipes all day and have my lackeys brew it.

And I would hire lackeys that are hot chicks in skimpy outfits....

Wait.. I'm starting to sound like Sheen.. or Ghaddafi...

I would device recipes and brew it, but the secretary of state would have to clean up using a toothbrush.
