He also had the option of saying "No". If he didn't, he calculated the cost/benefit ratio when he made a decision, if he was any kind of businessman.

Here is a link to the dump.........

The BUD TENT | Largest Outdoor Beer Garden at the Iowa State Fair

They do have $4 beers after four I heard on the radio but for how long I don't know.
You just poured ice cold been on every ignorant demo on the thread... Reading some of their posts, I think they drank a lot of beer, also..!

They love to spout how they know everything. I've drank many a beer at this very location the orator caused all the ruckus. Was there this last weekend to be precise. Not much else to do but drink beer at the fair. Pretty damn boring place. Turn the kids lose and sip the suds.

I'm sure it will be hallowed ground now. LOL

Well get out your tape measure and head out to the fair and measure his allotted space and get back to us. We will all await your report. The fair ends Sunday I believe so you best get to it.

Geez, talk about "drama queens"... it's like conservatives must lay awake at night, concocting all these arcane ways they've been "victimized" by "Nobama" and "lib-ruls"?!

He will recoup any losses and then some considerably with the publicity and free advertising this event gave him.

Since you've been there, can 6,000 to 10,000 ppl fit inside the tent and still be able move around?

I think it's conceivable that he could do $25k in two hours. I wonder how many taps he usually runs? This photo is obviously not peek hours. What time did Obama visit the bud tent?

It would take 35 taps running non stop to make $25,000 in an hour. So 18 taps going non stop for two hours. That is a lot of beers and a lot of ppl. Maybe 6000 ppl or more an hour. No way is this guy serving that many ppl.
