At a White House rich in coffee lore, no word on presidents preferenceBy Matt Viser - September 15, 2014
Caffeine consumption in the West Wing has, apparently, become a state secret.
WASHINGTON - A recipe for beer brewed by the White House? The Obama administration happily shares it. A list of wines served at state dinners? No problem. But what about the First Familys coffee habits?
My mug is empty.
Security concerns are initially cited. Then e-mails go unreturned. Caffeine consumption in the West Wing has, apparently, become a state secret.
For an administration that loves to talk about the importance of local food, especially when it comes from the celebrated White House vegetable garden, it turns out that the Obama White House makes it nearly impossible to find the source of its coffee and how it is prepared...
Barack and Michelle are apparently rebelling against the sacred bean, the mainstream of many Americans, and all around Patriotism. Even Michelle refuses to break under interrogation.
Rumor has it that Obama drinks tea, which should have endeared him the GOPTeas. Another FAIL!
No one will vote for Obama in 2016 and my 'Obama Until Kingdom Come' posters will be irrelevant. He claims he won't run, not even if drafted, but I never believed him! Now that CoffeeGate is upon us, my heart is broken.
More on the next scandal:

Here's another picture* of Obama, looking very suspicious, I might add:
The White House refuses to say what coffee is served at the residence. Above, a picture of President Obama drinking a hot drink in April 2008.
...The White House has also purchased from Kona Rainforest Farm, a small, four employee Hawaiian coffee farm which has sold to the president's residence before.
Their website boasts that they are 'now served at the home of America's First Family - the Obama White House.'
However, the White House has only ordered from the farm four times, and their most recent purchase was for Independence Day in 2013, and only for 50 pounds.
'Initially they were buying pretty frequently. I think [theyve been impacted] with budget cuts, and our coffees not cheap,' said Robert Barnes, the owner. 'In recent years its been more special events...'
Obviously giving up on the born in Hawaii scam! Kona is my favorite, but there is good Kenyan coffee to be had. And most coffee beans are called Arabica. This is where the RWNJs got their definition of Obama.

(53,661 posts)Of course, Obama visiting Starbucks itself is a bad omen to some:
The original brown siren did make a re-appearance for a brief time in 2006 to celebrate Starbucks 35th anniversary, and then again in 2008 to honor Starbucks coffee heritage. Even though the siren had her breasts covered in the retro-style logo, a Christian group, The Resistance, based in San Diego called for a national boycott. The new image has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute, Mark Dice,* founder of the group said in a press release.
Well hopefully, The Resistance wont be visiting the original Starbucks store in the Pike Place Market any time soon. The original siren proudly hangs outside the stores front door in all her bare-breasted, two-tailed glory.

Links to the meaning of the logo all goes downhill from there...

You gotta admit that San Diego looks pretty good from that vantage point. I missed out on Obama calling for Boehner to step down for saying he didn't like Mexican food. This could be another scandal in the works!

freshwest
(53,661 posts)Or at least that's what RWNJs argued with me when he was elected in 2008. We went round and round about it. It's like this or so they said:
Black people think with the same side of their brains as females do. This means they can't lead the country. Since Obama is bi-racial, the white side of his brain is being messed with by the black half. The white side of the brain being male, and capable of higher thinking, blah, blah, blah, is suppressed.
The (ahem) white males making this case were quite in earnest, and of course, it wasn't 'racist' because they felt sorry of Obama being mixed up like that. They saw it as a matter of nature as the leaders of the CSA said the same thing about blacks and women. Not his fault, and they felt great compassion for him.
That produces the meme he is weak, indecisive, ineffective, easily bullied, gay and since he has that internal neurological conflict, with the female half of brain seeking to control him, he is crazy and dangerous.
'Just think, he has his hand on the nuclear button. He might go off his rocker at a certain time of the month, like Hillary would.'
Yes, they really do think that kind of stuff. They are very 'concerned.'
Some of them. The rest are just plain fascists. I am so glad I got a chance to vent on that, too.

Our President's brain is half black and half female. OMG! No wonder they hate him! Nope not a racist thought in their empty heads.

(53,661 posts)Hillary has her hand over her mouth, as if she is ready to gag.
Obama is seeing the base nature of mankind at work. No wonder his hair is gray.
Even the adults are horrified, but must find a solution. Meanwhile, the GOP war on us remains.
This is just too much for the armchair warriors to comprehend, looking at Faux Noise and what is put out online.
They are not charged to do anything about it, so they can take a stand and look down and mock.
I wouldn't want to walk a yard in those adult shoes.

Wait Wut
(8,492 posts)Not your writing, but the insanity behind the nuts that said black brains are the same as women's brains. That there would be a conflict between the two sides.
This is why the right can't science.
freshwest
(53,661 posts)The CSA made what they thought were scientific claims of the innate inferiority of blacks and women to participate in government. They said, as conservatives have continued to say, that liberals are insane for opposing God's plan and the Laws of Nature (you know, like Gravity).
Read the following links to see where they came to think this way:

Scratch them on their Libertarian side, and you will find them adoring ancient philosophers from societies that just so happened to be built on the backs of slaves. The same place the CSA, TPs, Constitutional Party, etc. got their brainy talk. It's actually much worse than what the CSA said:
Ancient Greece and Rome were built on slavery and ruled by a leisure class who talked a lot

This is what I learned when I tried to reason online with these goons over the years. They feel very secure in their own version of reality. it works for them, actually. It gives them a rationale for their mistreatment of laborers. And it gives them cover to use terrorism to run people off their land or take their property, as an excuse that enriches them. It's not all what we define as hate. It's greed draped uner a flag and family and God.
When all else fails, they tell you that you should be killed off as a danger to 'their' country. Some CTers ascribe to this way of thinking, too, but use different terms. And one more here:
Okay, I will quit after this
