He’ll have a light, a Bud Light.

Tonight President Obama is to sit down for a beer with Professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley.
Leaving aside the big issue of race relations, here a key question. What kind of beer?
Gates will reportedly have a Red Stripe, a Jamaican lager.

Crowley’s preference is for a Blue Moon, a handcrafted beer first made in Denver in 1995. Its Honey Moon Summer Ale is brewed in small batches and available May through mid-August. The Belgian White is a cloudy wheat beer.
They all sound delicious.
Then there is President Obama. He’ll have a Bud. A Bud LIght. Why?
