Holy Schlitz - Obama's a Big Tipper!

So we got this pic of Barack Obama pounding a brew at the Raleigh Times Bar in Raleigh, North Carolina. And guess what we found out... Barack tipped $18 on a $2 Pabst Blue Ribbon.
The bartender told TMZ he poured Ms. Obama a free PBR because, "She's a lot cuter than he is."

Launch photosNow that's a Pabst smear!

211. VAN HALEN ROCKS is a racist bit@#!!!!!!! That just shows what you think all black people do!! He is a grown a$$ man, he can do what ever he please. He is human just like the rest of you and if he wants a beer then he can have one. So what if h drinks, a big portion of america does. People said what ever they wanted about him, especially saying he was Osama, so what if he made comments, you act as though he is the first and he def. won't be the last. He is an intellegent man and you should take him as such. A lot of racist people are forgiven daily by simply apologizing and he made some statements, not saying that he is racist, and all of a sudden it is a big deal he did it because he is black! Tally it up, it doesn' even sond right, Dog and that idiot on Seinfield apologize and they are in grace period!!! WTF GET OVER IT, I SURE DID!!!!!!!!!!!

212. Some of you are okay with having a racist in the white house (jenny 59), just as long as he is pro-american (white, that is...). Get real- the race issue is on the bottom of the list: world poverty, economic failure, our decaying environment, healthcare- those are the issues that need to top our list of concerns. These issues affect all human beings- regardless of race, creed or religious beliefs. As long as we keep getting sidetracked with the b.s. things are going to stay the same.

213. It just occured to me.

It's the youth vote firing up the Obama campaign.
The same youth who rebelled in the '60's with their anti-American "down with the Man" sympathies,

Obama won't honr the flag and the young praise him for it

Once he's in the White House he'll be burning it and the new age hippies will be raving...

214. Yep and in the 60s guess who emerged from the chaos, a President who everyone said couldn't win because he was Catholic. JFK, now prepare for JFK 2.0.

Barack Obama 08!

215. This is ridiculous. Why do so many people on here complain about TMZ when you are ON THEIR WEBSITE READING IT. It is highly annoying and illogical at that! I have read a few of the comments on different articles, which I normally don't do, and I am just flabergasted. Okay, so even if they stretch the truth OR go out on a limb with a tip that isn't 100% accurate, YOU KNOW THAT. This isn't Time Magazine, okay. I find it entertaining, I love gossiping about it and that is what gossip is all about.
Oh and they can't name the sources of these stories (not this one in particular, more the American Idol ones) because then the "source" would be ratted out and there goes there inside stories -_- Do you people know anything about celebrity gossip? Sheesh.

Oh yeah and Obama still counts as a celeb in my book and I like to read stuff about him. Also, everyone who is hating on him for drinking A BEER is just ridiculous. Join all the other billions of Men (and some women) who drink beer every day when they get out of work. Even if he was a drunk (which he is obviously not) it would still be better than who is leading our country now.

216. Even with Ted'd blessing and Michelle's Jacqueline makeovers,

218. "I notice how some white people are soooo angry at this man. For what? How many times have we all gone to church and disagreed with what our pastor said. I just did Sunday. D@#$ he already distanced himself from this man to pacify you idiots. Give him a break and a chance. I'll bet you are the same ones who voted for Bush. Ya'll just won't let the Black man win will ya? God forbid one of us wants to be Pres now. Perish the thought of someone of color looking out for someone other than rich white people who did cause 9/11 because they knew it was going to happen. They may as well have flew the planes. Go Jeremiah Wright. I agree with you!!!"
--------------------------------
Just wanted to comment on this. Why does it have to be about his race? I don't care if he's whiter than Michael Jackson, I still don't like him. Oh yeah.. He's half-white. So, wait.. He's not black! He's biracial. Black AND white. If we are being racist against him, then we must hate white people too. Get a clue. In fact, from all the comments I see, the majority of the comments are anti-white. It is not to the benefit of African-Americans to be anti-white. We are NOT your enemies. All of us are from the same country so we need to stop whining and start trying to get along. It's beyond stupid to judge a whole race from the actions of a few idiots.

220. i see a lot of comments about i dont want a president that drinks. i think it is great that he would have a beer with the locals. you dont see it in this pic but the rest are of the restaurant regs. its great that he can come down to the everyday Americans level. even if it is for vote.
