Hey everyone, you're filling up my email with this stuff. Knock it off, if I want to
hear all of this I'll have a beer with you and try to get you to stop talking
somewhere else. Lets just assume 50% of you feel one way and 50% the other. I really
don't want to know anymore about which way you lean politically. So please stop.
Thank you,
Ken

I don't think it hurts to have a president or any

participates. It just struck me that any contempt for the president's brewing skill
coming from that off-the-cuff response of Mikes was directed toward any bigwig boasted as
a "home brewer" who turned out to be somewhat less than deep into the arts and
crafts of the hobby. I took Mike and Jeff's commentary as exactly that--finding out
after a lot of buildup about president Obama being a big home brew enthusiast, that
he's at least allegedly or assumedly having the maid and the butler and the kitchen
staff keep his fermenters clean and perform all that untidy brew-potting and racking off,
rather than finding out he was actually down in the basement bending tubing and making his
own lagering tank and bodging hoses together making jerry-rigged siphon rigs and whatnot,
like most "normal" home brewers. I can see Jimmy and Billy Carter down there
doing that for fun and relaxation. It would have been neat if Obama was that sort of home
brewer too, but if no, well at least he's got a toe in the water. And a little poke
in the ribs at extract brewers is always well-deserved. Like commercial cider makers who
use Chinese concentrates from 55 gal drums of powder and balance it all out with malic
acid, a little tannic acid, and a squirt of "apple essence."

I was referring more to Mike Moranz' reply since Jeff was responding in agreement
with it. Mike's was definitely a political reaction.

Note to self, never bring politics into brewing because you'll get responses from
people like this...

http://www.thebarn.com/mailman/listinfo/mba Thanks for that Mike, besides the fact that Obama
wouldn't know a good beer if it sprayed in the face.

How is it that this president gets credit for brewing? Like many issues, people have
these ideas about him and for the life of me, I don’t get it. He is not a brewer, never
has brewed, and probably won’t until he leaves the White house this January and retires in
Hawaii. It’s the White house chefs that brew! Everybody should pay more attention to the
facts.
Maybe then he’ll have time in between Ellen, The View, and golf.

Shouldn’t we invite the actual home brewers that made the beers (the White House cooking
staff)?

I am certain Obama will be making at least one pit stop in the Cities before the
election.
I propose we send him an invitation to visit with us for tasting some of our brews (and
we in turn will get to taste the White House brews that travel with him). Wonder if other
brew clubs have extended such an invitation. Let's be the first! Or, let's not
be the only one that didn't extend an invitation.
Do we, as a club, need to vote on this proposal? If so, please consider this as a motion
put forth by me. We need someone to second the motion and then open up discussion prior
to casting our ballots.
So, do I hear a second??
