President Barack Obama enjoys a non-alcoholic weissbier
Angela Merkel welcomed Barack Obama to the G7 summit with a traditional Bavarian breakfast on Sunday complete with a half-litre of beer.But before he could get down to business, Mrs Merkel treated him to a full Bavarian breakfast of white sausages, pretzels and foaming lager. Eleven in the morning might be considered a little early for a beer in some parts of the world, but in Bavaria breakfast is not complete without a weissbier, as the local wheat beer is called.

How we survived 8 years, I will never know.
Thank the goddess that we had Obama to clean up his mess, Rex!
PS~ I never broke into a sweat for 2008 and 2012. I new he was going to ace it!

(65,616 posts)I hope in my lifetime I get to meet him one day (so I can tell him face to face how proud I was to vote for him twice and thank him for saving all our collective butts), but now what I would most like to do is meet Mr. Biden and give him a huge hug and cry some together.
I am still LIVID over what Ted Cruz said!!! I thought I would calm down by now...but not even a little bit. I can't even type in public what I would like to do to Cruz.
You knew from the get-go sheshe2! I just regret not listening to you sooner!
Tip of the hat to ya!

(83,772 posts)Incredibly cruel remarks from a man devoid of humanity. I know exactly how you feel. It doesn't stop with the GOP. Someone here left a comment on this thread in the BOG. It has finally been deleted. They made remarks about TPP and the catfood commission on a thread for the President and VP Biden at Beau's funeral.

Thanks, Rex. Yup I knew, I honestly did.

(65,616 posts)see who would get a hide first. I've noticed some people have no shame at all, none. Nice thread, I am sorry it got hijacked that shit is so out of line.

Thanks Rex~

(59,587 posts)Add to that the generally incoherent imbecility, and it's obvious the dude was medicated for eight solid years.

(9,983 posts)Heavy-duty antidepressant. "Street medicine" rep for multiplying effects of alcohol, i.e. 1 drink = shitfaced! = My personal pet theory is that he could somehow sneak a drink on Air Force One, or from his overseas security detail, and hilarity ensued

(6,409 posts)They have so many breweries and varieties of beer, they can't even keep track of all of them. It is confusing when you have 100 or so choices. The variety is astounding, everything from very pale, delicate beers all the way to beers so heavy you can eat them with a fork.

mahalo for your OP, she!
When I first saw that image, I thought Angela Merkel was about to break out in song.
Thanks for the image, Cha.

(17,918 posts)...you'd be drinking at 11am too.
No one has done more with such little congressional support and so much hate than any President in US history. If he were running in the general for an FDR 3rd term, I'd vote for him in less than a heartbeat.....and then worry the shit out of him about TPP and the TBTF's.
