Let’s Have A Beer And Get This Out Of Our System
Written by: Tom Sawyer
What would a poll say about three men sitting down to have a beer together after a heated dispute? Does drinking beer set the stage for reconciliation amongst Americans? Apparently many Americans relate sitting down to a beer as something they would want to do with someone to relax, get to know them and settle problems. Are you buying this? I’m not.
Thursday, President Obama, Sgt. James Crowley and Henry Louis Gates Jr. will site down and have a beer together. By now the backstory is well known and the only thing left to do is find a way to get people to stop talking about it. Someone at the white house had the bright idea to put this thing together and I would like to know who it is. I would ask that person what in the world they are thinking about.
It is being referred to as the “Beer Summit.”
Admittedly, the POTUS, or BHO, made a mistake when he said Sgt Crowley acted stupidly, but don’t we have bigger concerns as a nation? Our economy is still hurting and I would think our leader could use this time in a more productive matter. Yes, I have heard all the talk about the racial issues concerning this event and the “teachable moment” it has created. Quiete frankly, it isn’t really going to change anything concerning racial relations in our country so why waste the time?
For those of us, regardless of color, who truly don’t have severe problems with people of other races, this is just a story that will pass. For those who have racial hatred engrained in their every bodily fiber, do we really think three cold ones is going to make a difference? I have no doubt that some people will try to twist this thing around to make BHO look like he is doing something wrong…again. Whatever.
BHO needs a special czar and I would gladly volunteer, but more on that another day.

This is truly a joke. Whoever advised President Obama to do this is soooooooooooo STUPID! Who really believes this will calm the storm? Come on now. This issue is so much more deeply ingrained than people want to admit.

Well, I thought it was a cool idea to have a few cool ones. Sorry! Maybe because I always feel it’s a good idea to have a couple of cool ones….
