Obama is ‘known to prefer martinis,’ reports WSJ
A story in the Wall Street Journal today details the attempts by both the Romney and Obama campaigns to appeal to America’s every-man. Mitt Romney goes to NASCAR races (where he knows people… who own the teams) and President Obama goes to bars.
And, according to the Journal, when Obama orders a Bud Light, he’s wishing he had something with a little more flair.
The president’s staff has joked that he doesn’t always look comfortable with a beer in his hand; he has been known to prefer martinis.
The only person I’ve been able to find on-record who knew Obama likes martinis is Republican Strategist Karl Rove. Back in 2008, Rove said “Even if you never met him, you know this guy. He’s the guy at the country club with the beautiful date, holding a martini and a cigarette that stands against the wall and makes snide comments about everyone who passes by.”

Posted on September 12, 2012 at 9:51pmThis is a good statement by Karl Rove. It gets right the point without cutting corners. I wish he could make the same straight forward remarks when he appears on tv. I always see him as the Bush Campaign adviser who drove the bus into a ditch by not letting Bush fight back. It’s long past time Republicans took the gloves off when swinging back at the Democrats. They certainly don’t mind taking shots at the Republicans.

Posted on September 12, 2012 at 1:56pmHe doesn’t just get martinis. He gets cosmopolitans, I bet. Followed up with either a chocolatini or an appletini. Then he and Buddy (Reggie) love disappear for a few hours to…discuss things.

Posted on September 12, 2012 at 11:51amHey noslave–the main stain media has been crowing for over a month about President Obama’s special recipe beer and home brewers wanting that recipe. Anyone who knows guys like our President know he is not a ‘regular guy’ who drinks beer. Martini’s and high end wine as far as the eye can see—
