With the president of the United States set to get loaded on beer presidentially sip malt beverages with Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and Sergeant James Crowley AKA the Cambridge police officer who (wrongly?) arrested Gates, a more pressing concern has come to a head: the beer choices. When questioned, press secretary Gibbs revealed the beer selection for the momentous event: Bud Light for Obama, Blue Moon for the po-po, and Red Stripe or Beck’s for Gates. Here’s where the trouble begins:

In a letter to Obama dated Wednesday, Massachusetts Rep. Richard Neal strongly urges the president not to drink Budweiser, now owned by a Belgian company.

As you can see, this is the kind of trial that defines the very soul of a nation.
