It looks like the nation’s beer enthusiasts are in for a disappointment.
Despite an online petition and a Freedom of Information Act request, it seems the White House has no intention of revealing the recipe for its homemade brew.
Press secretary Jay Carney told reporters Thursday he was “not aware” of any plans to detail what’s in the special suds.
“I think the president and first lady were asked about this a little bit in an interview last week,” Carney said. “I’m not aware of any plans to divulge the secret recipe.”

Just because you work for the government, that doesn’t mean that you are forced to be a saint in your off time. I dislike Obama INTENSELY, but let’s not get stupid about it, ok?

Posted on August 23, 2012 at 4:04pmWhy does this president gets away with drinking on the job? If I was drinking on my job, I will be in the unemployment line. And how do you know went he is not drunk? Maybe this is why the country mess-up. He is drinking too much. We do not know what in his beer or hard liquor. He spends soo much time making and drinking beer while working instead handling the people business.

Now add this, “Many of those who refuse or are unable to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance, paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.”
THE RECIPE was devised by our otherwise worthless employee while living in our digs, it is property of the republic.
