OMG! Obama seen drinking in public!

Yup. That's him in the picture in today's NYT. Watching a ball game and drinking a beer.

According to an article in today's Times, he went to a (Chicago, of course) Bulls/Wizards game recently. And he and Michelle have even (gasp!) dined out at Washington restaurants like Equinox, Bobby Van's Steakhouse and other spots not normally associated with presidential appearances.

Whose cockamamie idea was this, anyway? Doesn't he know that a president isn't supposed to venture outside the bubble that is the White House with its sycophantic, self-referential babble? And how welcome a sign is that?

More to the point, even: What that beer he's drinking?

Obama = Hope for North America ; no matter what beer he drinks!

wow he drinks beer. I bet he eats hotdogs too.

**Thud** You mean he goes out and enjoys sporting events in public and is even known to talk some team trash? Imagine! :D

it's so nice to have a real person as president again.

i agree with andshewas. it is so nice to have someone who is comfortable being himself. he does and says what he feels. it is a good feeling knowing every word out of his mouth and every step he takes isn't planned out for him.

Right on! Thank you Mr. President for keeping it real.

I thought it was hilarious that he got so much flak for appearing on Leno's show (re: comments like "Who does he think he is? A celebrity?"). But right on with the beer and the dining out! I applaud the way he approaches the "Presidential image."

There is great pride in calling him our President!

because god knows no president has ever drank a beer and watched a game before. what other normal human functions does this man do that we can shower his with amazement and praise about?

You're missing the point.

YAY!!! I feel the love I feel the LOVE!!!

Wow! And I bet he actually sits on the john and takes dumps too! :P

I'm so sorry...I really couldn't resist.

Yes, let's give him a trophy for participation as well.

yes, finally one of the people!!!

Que Living Colour - Cult Of Personality

Good for him, and for the brewery that makes the beer he drank if they find out the brand.

So incredible! Wow! Does he actually breathe air, like the rest of us?

Next thing you know people will be saying that he does coke and smokes pot. Oh, yeah, he did.

"he does coke and smokes pot."

present tense? really?

Note "did". Presently? Who knows?

Yes, but he didn't actually watch the game live, I understand they put it on a teleprompter for him.

Oh No! He's got to go to Rehab.........

Jr. High got out early today judging from some of these juvenile posts. Disappointing.
