"Beer Summit" - My Two Cents Worth

With all the hoopla surrounding the White House Beer Summit is it proper to ask: "What have we learned?"

Well, I tell you what I have learned.

I have learned that we have a Yahoo for President! Well, actually I didn't just learn this, this is something I have suspected for some time, but with each passing day, I am more convinced that this is a fact.

Never mind for a moment the hope he has brought to our country, the unity he has created, the transparency he's working under, just never mind all that if just for a moment. Focus on his ability to speak "off the cuff". An ability that demonstrated to the world just what type of person he is.

I'm not so sure the remark about the "police acting stupidly" was written on his teleprompter. This had to be an impromptu remark, a remark that overshadowed the entire content of the purpose of the news conference.

Oh, wait a minute. Was this his intention? Was the news conference going so badly that he had to create a distraction so that the news would focus on this one comment instead of the entire subject at hand? Clever!

We all know by now that he did not have all the facts. We all know now that had he had the facts he would have thought twice about making such remark. Or did he have the facts? An opportunist he is, I tell you.

The White House Beer Summit is nothing more and nothing less than a great photo op. Nothing will come out of this. This will get a couple of more days of headlines and will be forgotten, that is at least until re-election time when the media and the dems will bring this out as proof that Øbama kept his promise to work on race relations.
