The President’s Beer Summit even brought the prohibitionists out of the dustbin of history:
Representatives of Pray at the Pump (more about them shortly) and the pastor of Rising Sun Baptist Church of Baltimore plan to picket the White House today, asking President Barack Obama to change his choice of beverage when he meets today with Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge, Mass., police department and Harvard University professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. over a beer.
The demonstrators want the White House to serve lemonade instead.
(…)
The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union also isn’t happy. “There are so many other beverages he could have chosen that would have served just as well,” said president Rita K. Wert, suggesting lemonade or iced tea.
Lady, if the President wants to drink a cold one, or two, at the end of the day, leave him alone. And leave the rest of us alone while you’re at it.
