Presidents are telepathic. That"s how they can tell you what you want to hear. Beer is a telepathy aid. ---

Clinton would probably have more interesting stories. Obama is a smart guy, too–but he’s been pretty busy lately. I’d gladly have an ice tea with Carter. Nix on either Bush; The Smarter might bring his wife & The Younger should have given up drinking long ago. Thomas Jefferson _was_ interested in beer & had it made at Monticello; details [here](http://wiki.monticello.org/mediawiki/index.php/Beer). In San Antonio, you can have a drink in the [Menger Bar](http://mengerhotel.com/page/ntmc/Menger_Amenities/6_4_html.html)–where Teddy Roosevelt recruited Rough Riders.
