This is our President taking in a NBA game and a beer. Damn straight.

This picture is awesome because our president is having a beer next to that little kid. He is sending a message of responsible use, showing our nation’s progeny how adults should conduct themselves when consuming alcohol, and also showing that this is an activity enjoyed by adults only. Theres no sense in the (conservative) ideology of “hide indulgencies away from our youth, lest thay taste this mysterious fruit of the knowledge of good and evil,” as it merely probes young minds’ curiosity in an unsafe manner. Open display of responsable substance use is what youths need to see. Its an eons-old aspect of human culture, and it permeates every aspect of the consumerist lifestyle. Children dont need to be bombarded with Heineken, Fosters, and Budweiser ads, and then have such things paraded as a mystical experience treasured only by the most loathesome. They need to see such aspects of our culture, and learn to associate it with a time and place like in the above image. I say good show Mr. Obama.
We are bff.
