Just before the Super Bowl kicked off this weekend, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie visited with Sarah Palin, only to discover that the football fan is a little shaky on American history. During the discussion with NBC, Palin said that they are making beer in the White House kitchen. Dressed in casual skirt and blouse with the sleeves rolled up, Palin told Guthrie, “They are making beer in the White House.... first president since George Washington to make some booze in the White House.”

I see what you're doing there. Nicely played.

I'll say this.
If you ask me to chose between someone who doesn't know how old the White House is and someone who won't call an Islamic terrorist and Islamic terrorist, I know which one I pick.

Sure it wasn't Tina Fey doing a bit? I know people who are absolutely convinced Palin said she could see Russia from her back yard.

I confess I was caught by that one, too, although I did know that Washington never lived in the White House. Of course, what she said could just as reasonably be understood as saying that Obama was the first President to do whatever he did.

The real story, you won't hear this from the MSM.
Just before the Super Bowl kicked off this weekend, NBC’s Savannah Guthrie visited the White House kitchen for a few words with President Obama, only to discover that the football fan in chief is a little shaky on American history.
During the discussion with NBC, President Obama said that they are making beer in the White House kitchen.
Dressed in casual shirt with the sleeves rolled up, Obama told Guthrie, “We make beer. First president since George Washington to make some booze in the White House.”
The only problem is, as Greg Pollowitz noted, George Washington didn’t make any “booze” in the White House. In fact, not only was George Washington no longer president in the year 1800 when construction on the White House was finished, he had already been dead for a year. The first president to live in the People’s House was our second president, John Adams.
George Washington didn’t live in the White House, much less make any “booze” there.

That's the way I read it. Washington was the first president. If Obama was the first president since Washington, to do whatever, it could simply mean Obama was the first president to do it.
I don't know how anyone would know that, though.
If a president had made beer, he probably wouldn't announce it- at least most wouldn't.

I suspect Harding was making bathtub gin during Prohibition.

If Obongo had not of said "in the White House" he would have been on firmer ground, but he is a lying dumbass, but not everyone will admit that he is. They refuse to hold him to the same standard of a former unsuccessful politician.
Old Hickory might have made a run or two himself, who knows.

If Obama said that he could see Russia from his house, the MSM would report, "Obama has greatest ocular capacity of any President in history"

His parents misspelled his name: it should be "Birick Ibimi", because everyone knows that with him, it's "I-I-I-I-I".
