Peace Through Brew

Apparently President Obama does not care for the term, "Beer Summit."
“It is not a summit. It’s an attempt to have some personal interaction when an issue has become so hyped and so symbolic that you lose sight of just the fact that these are people involved, including myself, all of whom are imperfect, and will hopefully instead of ginning up anger and hyperbole, everybody can just spend a little bit of time with some self reflection and recognizing that other people have different points of view.” 
 Nor, apparently did Obama care for the idea put forth rather hopefully by Vice President Joe Biden that they all wear Snuggies  during tonight's meeting with Professor Henry Louis Gates, and Sgt. James Crowley.
To this the President very calmly replied, "I don't think so."
