Obama, "I'm the First President Since George Washington to Brew Beer" - WRONG

By Elizabeth Nelson

While everyone was all abuzz about Super Bowl deflategate XLVIII, and watching to see if the patriots had deflated balls and if New England had the Right Stuff to beat the Eagles with the right balls, I'm sure everyone missed the historically inaccurate interview our no-balled occupying president  gave Savannah with the Today show.  They are seen touring the White House Kitchen and then proudly Obama but inaccurately touted that he's the first president since Washington to  Brew Beer In The White House https://youtu.be/WZlzY6hsNh0    

By now, we shouldn't be surprised that Obama enjoys changing history, just by speaking the words into existence and by proclaiming himself at the top of historical change. However, he's far from the first, since Washington. There have been four Presidents before Obama and after Washington:

Thomas Jefferson (1801-1809)

Though the brewing duties were left primarily to his wife during his presidency, Thomas Jefferson built a brew house at his Monticello estate after retiring. With the help of British expatriate and trained brewer, Thomas Miller, Jefferson produced a hoppy beer he referred to as “ale” because of its lighter color compared to the typical porters of the day. Jefferson was quoted in a letter petitioning for Miller’s citizenship saying, “I wish to see this beverage become common instead of the whiskey which kills one third of our citizens and ruins their families.”

James Madison (1809-1817)

Madison, the fourth president of the United States, is best known for being the “Father of the Constitution,” but he also played a hand in protecting and promoting beer production in young America.

Though occurring before his presidency, Madison promoted the idea of taxing imported beer and ingredients as a source of revenue for the new, struggling country, and to give domestic breweries a fighting chance in the beer market. Contrary to popular belief, Madison most likely did not propose appointing a Secretary of Beer to the presidential cabinet.

Franklin D. Roosevelt (1933-1945)

Roosevelt won four separate elections and served more than twelve years as president until his untimely death during his fourth term. In his time in office, Roosevelt ended a dark era for beer by signing into effect laws that ended 14 years of Prohibition in America. The 21st Amendment officially passed on Dec. 5, 1933, what is now known as Repeal Day.

Jimmy Carter (1977-1981)

It took more than twenty years after the end of Prohibition for brewing beer at home to become federally legal. Jimmy Carter, America’s 39th president, signed H.R. 1337 on Oct. 14, 1978, which contained an amendment sponsored by Alan Cranston, creating an exemption from taxation for beer brewed at home. This exemption officially went into effect on Feb. 1, 1979.  Read more Homebrewer

Why is this statement significant? Because the gaffe went unreported and uncorrected by any of the media. However, had this historically incorrect statement come from a Republican President, like Reagan or Bush, the media wouldn't have hesitated to jump all over it.  They never wasted an opportunity to point out "look how stupid Republicans are." 

Yet, when a Democrat says something stupid or inaccurate we don't dare hear a peep out of them, let alone a correction or God forbid they flip the script and mock him.  Just like we didn't hear them mock or correct his "57 states," or "Corpse-man," right? 

Oh no, they look the other way and pretend it never happened, because they can't go against the image they've formed in their head and have shoveled down their libtard viewers throats.

"Obama is a genius demi-god, makes no mistakes and is the best president in American history."
