UPDATE: Jul 30 06:23 PM US/Eastern
The beer is flowing. President Barack Obama has begun his chat with the two men he joined last week at the center of an uproar over race in America: Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Cambridge, Mass., police Sgt. James Crowley. Obama invited both men to have a beer and listen to each other.
Vice President Joe Biden joined them as they all sat outside near the Rose Garden.
Oh, no!
Not Biden!
What's he going to say?
Note: They're drinking beer out of mugs. I understand that the White House probably doesn't want to provide the chosen beers with more free publicity than they've already been given. That said, these four don't look like regular guys having a beer.
Where are the bottles?
Sgt. Crowley appears to have the orange slice garnish in his Blue Moon.
What's Biden drinking? It looks very light. Maybe it's iced tea. Get a little beer in Biden and that could lead to a real disaster.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Obama starts White House meeting with professor, policeman at center of racial uproar.
Unbelievable.

Forget about the audacity of hope.
Today is about the idiocy of beer.
This is so lame.
CHUCK TODD: Tonight at the White House, the president sits down with Harvard professor Henry Gates and Cambridge police Sgt. James Crowley for what may be the most anticipated beer ever.
Some are calling it the "picnic table summit," because the three men will be drinking their beer at the same table where the president has huddled with Secretary of State Clinton.
Todd isn't kidding. His report is not tongue-in-cheek.
The media have lost it.
The story should be about why Obama hasn't met with Special Olympics athletes. Why have the media allowed Obama to get away with his stupidity on that?
Apparently, it's OK for Obama to mock the Special Olympics with impunity.
Maybe at least Obama can ask Gates and Crowley to join him in a toast to honor the efforts of the Special Olympics participants, those he dissed on The Tonight Show.
Here's to acting stupidly! Cheers!
