and for you Mr. President?

Tonight President Obama will be hosting the two men at the center of the recent racial profiling scandal, in Cambridge, MA, at the White House. As has been well reported, they will be sitting down to discuss their issues over a beer. Alcohol has long been used to grease the skids for negotiations and apparently this age old tactic is not below the President of the United States.

With all the different angles and issues to be dissected and analyzed about this meeting here is arguably the most important: What type of beer will they be drinking? Apparently at the White House even your drink orders have to be vetted and their choices have been the topic of some debate. NPR even ran a story on it last evening. So if you're curious here is what the three men will be drinking:

President Obama - Bud Light (originally reported as just Bud but the president's press secretary notified the media of the correction in his afternoon press conference yesterday - no joke)
Professor Gates - Red Stripe
Sgt. Crowley - Blue Moon

Bottoms up gentleman!
