The prez picks Bud Light

Citing an anonymous administration source, Bloomberg reported Wednesday afternoon that President Barack Obama (at right) will have a Bud Light when he sips beer with Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley at the White House Thursday evening.

Bud Light is the best-selling beer in America.

It is, however, owned by In-Bev, a Belgian brewer.

No word on what brand of beer the guests, Gates and Crowley, will be served.

I am disappointed. I was rooting for a local beer. In this case, No-drama Obama picked a bland beer.

Symbolically for a patrioticic drink with two Cambridge guys, I would have picked Samuel Adams.

Olde Style is Chicago's Natty Boh, if my friends are accurate. Why not an Olde Style?
