President Obama Drinks a Beer: A Photographic Essay
There he is, Leader of the Free World, partaking in our favorite Memorial Day weekend ritual. Feels good when it first hits the lips, eh Barack? BlackBook was so inspired by Obama’s recent Guinness-fest in Ireland that we put together a little collection of all those times the Prez sucked some back some brew in front of a camera. Bottoms up!

eixo a year agoThere’s a difference between the photo-op Obama and the behind-the-scenes Obama. From the famous Newsweek 2008 Special Election Project: On June 3, the last day of the longest-ever primary season, Obama finally secured enough delegates to become the presumptive nominee…If ever there was a time to party, this was it. “OK, pretty big night,” Jim Margolis said to Obama. “You just locked up the nomination—how about a beer?” Obama started to say yes, then stopped. “We won’t hit the ground until 3 in the morning, and I’ve got AIPAC first thing—I better not,” he said. “OK, I’ll have two,” said Margolis. Here’s Obama after he’s just secured the Democratic nomination for President of the United States, and he’s still refusing one beer because he has to work in the morning! He also left an English pub during a 1997 stag night, because a stripper arrived. All I’m saying is that in either one of those situations, I would have been sucking the taps dry after everyone else was ready to go home. But then again, I’ll probably never be President.
