Obama is a homebrewer

[unionrdr]

That's just plain backa$$wards. Left the door open for state by state prohibition,just like the last time. This is one of those times where the federal law should have told the states to put up & shut up. What in the WORLD is it going to hurt? Some greedy politicians who's strings are being pulled by corporate alcohol lobbyists?
Sorry for the political rant,folks,I just think politics & common sense do not mix well much of the time. Let the people have their home brew. You're still getting sales taxes,for God's sake.

I think Carter just passed the law making it legal to brew beer at home.

NRS

Billy Beer.

 

[unionrdr]

No duh,what do you think we've been discussing? Why do you think we're all here & gettin drunk on our own stuff? rofl...I wish I'd saved a 6'er of that billy beer. It was ok,but historically worth collecting.

 

[rexbanner]

this makes no sense at all.

Yep.

I think this is cool. I only wish Obama had picked another beer for his "beer summit" a while back. I understand he was kind of obligated to pick some BMC and I'm glad he didn't pick Miller or Coors. If he had picked any craft beer he probably would have gotten **** for being an elitist. This vindicates him in a big way.

FYI, Bush doesn't drink beer at all, or soda. He was actually our most physically fit president.

r8rphan and mhenry, there is a debate forum on this site for a reason. This thread is for people who want to talk about how cool it is that the prez is (indirectly) making homebrew.

i believe you are adding your own presumptions to the original post. there was no such stipulation on the sunsequent postings.

what is the point of meaking a thread to see how many people respond with agreeable statements?

personally i don't think it is cool at all and our president shouldn''t be having Super Bowl photo op parties.

 

[unionrdr]

I don't think they're just photo-op parties. Just nosey tabloids,news papers,etc. that are allowed in making mountains out of mole hills. I like the fact that he still enjoys watchin the game,sinkin some home brews,maybe have some premo munchies to boot.
Maybe with the president making HB,the states that don't allow it may see that it's ok.?...

 

[redcoat_or_rebel]

anyone think Obama on that label looks like the goofy gremlin from the Gremlins 2?

 

[unionrdr]

I think it makes him look more like Alfred E. Newman (Mad magazine)..."what? me worry"?

OK, you don't have to think it's "cool" to post here. But the rule on HBT is you keep threads about anything polarizing light in tone unless you're in the debate forum, and those two were dragging the thread down into ugly territory. It has since bounced back.

Once again, speaking agreeably is how we keep from getting threads about the president and homebrew locked or moved to the debate forum. Another thread about obama making homebrew did get locked for that very reason. Just saying.

 

[bob1852]

Why was this thread bumped in the first place? This is old news; nothing new developing....

You're wrong. It's the owner of this forum's rules - no politics outside the debate forum.

Actually it is not backwards. It's the way it works. Feds say that they don't care and that it is up to the individual States to decide. Don't like what your State decides? Move or fight your own people for your rights.

bernerbrau said this thread is for anyone who thinks that the prez drinking homebrew is cool. the OP simply posted a link to the article and didn not say if he/she agreed with the article or asked "who else thinks this is cool?". So, no, i am not wrong that this thread is not about that. i didn't say antyhing about the forum rules.

i'm not trying to be objectionable, i just enjoy reality and how things actually happen not how people say they do.

and @UnionDr rights are taken everyday by governments in general. our system of government was not meant to have non-participating citizens. if you don't speak up, they will take it from you.

 

[BendBrewer]

HAHAHAHAHA.....sorry, I always laugh at **** like that. People who live in fear crack me the **** up!

 

[unionrdr]

I don't need to worry too much here in Ohio. They'll take tax revenue any way they can get it. So much the better for me & my fermenter. But I do have hopes for others less fortunate that the President making home brew will help to change some states minds.

 

[redcoat_or_rebel]

ignorance is not fearlessness.

 

[BendBrewer]

Stop......my ribs are killing me.......co-workers are wondering what's so damn funny.

 

[unionrdr]

Fear is born out of ignorance. In other words,people fear what they don't understand.

Same thing goes for "Frustration".

1. When I said "this thread is for people to talk about how cool it is that the president is indirectly making homebrew", I was not speaking in an absolutely literal sense. I was deliberately trying to lighten the mood, and I was trying to imply that it was for lighthearted discussion, not serious debate. I was not trying to make this thread exclusionary in any way.
2. I revised my statement as soon as you took it for a thesis point that needed to be rebutted.
3. All serious political discussion goes in the debate forum.
4. All serious political discussion goes in the debate forum.

You bashed his post telling two people who talking politics to take it to the debate forum. You were wrong and you're wrong again.

 

[BierMuncher]

I'm too busy/tired to pick through the OT political noise and clean this up.

Try again and keep the political debate in the debate forums please.

 

[TrainSafe]

Saw this article this morning indicating that Obama is a home brewer too. It is interesting that even though they're serving the beer at official functions, he purchased the brewing equipment out of his own money.

"White House brewing its own beer" - CBS News

 

[Pappers_]

Yes, one of the cooks at the White House does the brewing.

 

[Revvy]

Yeah, we had threads about it back when they actually were brewing the beer awhile back.

White House Honey Ale

 

[TrainSafe]

It figures. I'm usually the last to know.

 

[bakeup]

No, I'm now the last to know.

 

[shanecb]

I'm actually trying to get a hold of the White House chef to see if I can get the recipe, and do a real quick 1-on-1 for an article. I haven't gotten turned down, I just keep calling at the wrong times.

 

[user 21663]

You know the President isn't brewing, that's for sure. This is the same guy that chose Bud Light for the Beer Summit. A great opportunity for craft beer exposure to the world and he chooses Bud Light!!.

 

[valacech]

I thought this was really interesting.
