Does He think Before He Speaks

Readers: Take the time to read the paragraphs and quote from Barry on the taste of Guiness: from WeaselZippers.us

(LA Times) – It was a happy occasion Monday during President Obama’s hasty visit to Ireland to see what is deemed his ancestral hometown of Moneygall and stop by Ollie Hayes’ pub for a pint.

…Monday it’s what happened inside the Moneygall pub that may not go down too smoothly with the American distributors of Ireland’s world-famous Guinness.

The president got to reminiscing good-naturedly about a previous encounter with the tasty liquid.

“The first time I had Guinness,” Obama said, “is when I came to the Shannon airport. We were flying into Afghanistan and so stopped in Shannon. It was the middle of the night. And I tried one of these and I realized it tastes so much better here than it does in the States.”

Then the commander-in-chief blithely added: “What I realized was, is that you guys are — You’re keeping all the best stuff here!”

Question: If, as Barack says, his FIRST Guiness was in the Shannon airport and it tasted better than it does in the United States how the hell would he know the difference?

I realize this story is petty in nature; only wanted to remind you if Sarah Palin sad said this the cast of Saturday Night Live and the three lamestream media outlets would have been all over it like flies on pudding.
