Over the weekend, the Obama White House released documents that the public has demanded feverishly since they were aware of their existence.
Those documents?
The recipes for the White House’s own home-brewed beers, the Honey Ale and Honey Porter, made with honey collected from beehives on the South Lawn of the White House.
From whitehouse.gov:
Inspired by home brewers from across the country, last year President Obama bought a home brewing kit for the kitchen. After the few first drafts we landed on some great recipes that came from a local brew shop. We received some tips from a couple of home brewers who work in the White House who helped us amend it and make it our own. To be honest, we were surprised that the beer turned out so well since none of us had brewed beer before.
As far as we know the White House Honey Brown Ale is the first alcohol brewed or distilled on the White House grounds. George Washington brewed beer and distilled whiskey at Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson made wine but there’s no evidence that any beer has been brewed in the White House. (Although we do know there was some drinking during prohibition…)
As of yet, there have been no complaints accusing the Obama White House of lacking transparency for refusing to release the recipe of the White House Honey Blonde Ale.

Democracy Tax
There are no Democracy costs for the Products of China．
For all products from China, we should have China pay Democracy Tax to America, because price competition has to be fair.
Democracy costs too much, and the costs of democracy such as the election and division of the three powers are added on all products from toothbrushes to cars.
The cause of the recession and unemployment lies in the Communist China.
Hey, as long as BO is having a good time living it up at our expense, I’m happy. My life revolves around putting Him on a pedestal. He’s the best partier-in-chief we’ve ever had, and so cool and popular with the Hollywood crowd! Who cares if he doesn’t understand simple economics or the concept of incentive as a motivator, he has his own brewery! He probably has his own choom crop in the WH garden too! He’s so cool. Maybe he’ll turn the Capitol dome into a giant lava lamp in his second term because that would be cool. If I vote for him, that makes me cool too!
