Obama Surprises DC Bar With St. Patrick's Day Visit

President Obama made a celebratory St. Patrick's Day stop at the Dubliner, an Irish pub in Washington, DC, on Saturday. According to the White House pool report, the president drank a Guiness as patrons chanted "USA! USA! USA!" with a few stray "Four more years!" thrown in for good measure.

1. I love that he drops into place around here in DC...

but I hate being cut off by his motorcade

2. I wish he'd drop by my work. Of course, I'd probably be carried out on a stretcher.

6. This brings something else to mind....

Remember how the repugs voted for Dumbya based on the fact that he was "someone you'd like to have a beer with"? Got to wonder what's going to happen to that little meme once they nominate a teetotaler Mormon. Hell, I wouldn't want to have a beer with Romney, even if he DID drink the stuff, and not just because he's probably stick me with the bar tab.
