| The Politics of Beer said by blog.nielsen.com July 30, 2009 :Is the President Seeking to Connect with Mainstream America by Choosing Bud Light? The White House announced that the President will be drinking Bud Light at tonight’s much-publicized “Beer Summit.” Consumer and media research firm Scarborough Research shows that Bud Light is also the beer choice for politically mainstream Americans. Bud Light drinkers (ages 21+) have no distinct political profile. They are just as likely as all drinking-age Americans to consider themselves Democrat, Republican, or Independent, and are average for voting in presidential, statewide and local elections. Bud Light drinkers are also average for being registered to vote. Concrete Proof.
1. President Barack O'Bama reveals his bias (beer-as?) again.
2. Beer Drinkers have no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever.
Now you know.

| I didn't pay too much attention with regard to the specifics, because I believe it's a bit broad to classify Bud drinkers as less political or involved as a non-Bud drinker.
With that said, as an Obama supporter and a supporter of all things beer, I found his choice of beer poor. Not that I have anything against Bud specifically - I enjoy an ice cold Budweiser in the summer - I would have preferred Obama think about it a little. I'm sure there are many fine small American breweries in the D.C. area. Heck, not that far up the road from D.C. is America's Oldest Brewery. They offer many nice brews. Seems it would have been a little more logical to pick there, have the media do a little piece on them, bring some attention to a place in PA that can probably use the attention.
Meanwhile, Bud advertises in more mediums than I can count, so they don't exactly need the help.

So this is BO's big push to identify with the average American? The beer he is going to drink in public, but I'd bet not privately? How shallow can he get? How much less substantive can he get?
He's bankrupted the country and to show how "American" he is he's going to announce he's changing his brand of beer as his political solution..... What an idiot. |

said by Noah Vail:2. Beer Drinkers have no distinguishing characteristics whatsoever. i do take offense to that (well, as much as a beer drinker can take offense). i find that a person's choice in beer says a lot about them - as long as its beyond a domestic. i drink bud light, but its not my favourite. give me something "wheat" anyday - but then again, living in the phoenix metroplex, its summer every day.
