Look Bush sucked and conservatives who spend time trying to defend him are just delusional about his administration.

Bush did have a DUI. That's against the law. Obama is just having a beer at a basketball game. Haven't you ever had a beer? I like beer and I don't think drinking it is some monumental sin.

It's just a beer folks....Let's stick to criticizing Obama for his income redistribution policies not his choice of beverage.

So by your reasoning every alcoholic drink that Bush had after his DUI is illegal? I didn't know you could never drink alcohol again after one of those... even if you never had to drive yourself anywhere.

You certainly missed my point.

Given the recent performance of the Bulls, I can't blame him for wanting to have a drink while watching one of their games.

Jesus Christ, just when I thought they couldn't grasp for farther straws.
I think they call in to the radio station and fuss, then run over here to post.

"People are losing 5, 10, 20 thousand dollars a day in the stock market, and he's sitting there drinking a beer!....It's insulting... there's a lot of people suffering." "The president is the president 24 hours a day. I don't think he should drink on the job."

Sound familiar?!

Bush said he was an alcoholic.
He said he got sober in 1991. There are photos of him drinking afterward.
It's the hypocrisy.

There are many more, just google.

Get that man in rehab fast!

I had a beer last night. No one is criticizing me at work this morning.

Obama will ruin his exemplary status with the effete intellectual snob crowd and the tea totaling puritans if he is seen in public drinking anything with less status than a rare wine or 30 yr old scotch. How could he risk being exposes as a guy that drinks beer?

AND it looks like a Budweiser judging by the hue. Man... between his red label beer and his Marlboro 100's he is turning out to be a regular old cowboy!

I love that he has a beer if he wants one. Some people probably are offended that he went to a sports game in the first place.
