During a three-day Iowa bus tour, President Obama revealed that his bus was stocked with a special White House-brewed beer. The beer reportedly comes in two varieties -- light and dark -- and the President admitted he does drink it. Not much else was said on the subject, but we wanted to know how much of the public would crack a bottle with Obama.
Almost half of respondents would turn down Obama's brew. Obviously, there are going to be some telling demographics on this one, but first let's take a blind peek at some of the responses. A lot of comments suggested the reason they would (or wouldn't) partake is that they do (or don't) like beer. But there were also people who simply refused to associate with Obama. One respondent wrote, "As long as it's free."
Conservative Boycott
The strongest correlation, by far, was political alignment. There was a lot of resistance from the right. Part of it might be due to the way the story has been circulated -- that this is "Obama's beer." But more often than not, it was an opportunity to say that even beer cannot win them over. Conservatives were as willing to turn it down as liberals were to partake.
Drinking Doesn't Change Much
Believe it or not, whether or not people drink didn't have much to do with the results after all. Drinkers were more likely to join the president, but only by about 8%. We were actually surprised to see that 47% of nondrinkers were willing to have a beer with Obama, implying that a "nondrinker" is likely to be someone who will drink on occasion.
Drinking Age
Well, there's some good news and some bad news on the drinking front. The good news is, teens were 20% less likely than the 18-24 crowd to want to share a beer with Obama. And since young people tend to lean left, that's even more significant. It means young people are hesitant to consume alcohol. However, nearly half of teens would still do it.

President Obama doesn't see colour. He does see a great country inhabited by American citizens pulling together and becoming even greater.
I judge a man by his deed, not the color of his skin, we judge people differently

Boyd Haley PhD Discusses Flaws in the Saxe Alzheimer's Study.
Dr. Boyd Haley discusses the history of the Saxe study, where a dentist from the University of Kentucky's dental school put together a study to prove that mercury in amalgam dental fillings did not contribute to the total body burden of mercury. Haley says all other studies show a correlation between increases in total body burden of mercury when the quantity of dental amalgam is increased.
http://jada.ada.org/content/1... is the Saxe study on dental mercury and Alzheimer's published only in the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA). Other medical journals such as The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) refused to publish the study because it was so poorly designed, says Dr. Boyd Haley.
Yet the Alzheimer's Association website links to this faulty Saxe study as proof that amalgam fillings are not a contributing factor to Alzheimer's disease, calling this a "myth."

Haley points out that the Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA) is not a peer reviewed medical journal but only a trade journal of dentist who are selling toothpaste and other dental supplies.
There is conflict of interest on the board of the Alzheimer's Association, because doctors on the board want to treat Alzheimer's with drugs. No money can be made on Alzheimer's disease if one turns from drug treatments, and instead look for answers in Alzheimer's prevention by avoiding exposures to mercury in vaccines and dental fillings.
how much is Obama care a cover for actions of Appointed FDA Margaret Hamburg, 2009 refused to ban or recall or seek to hold makers lible to compensate for misdiagnosed given wronge kind of treatment & Drugs to make matter worse for those With dental works known as Amalgam Note: those “silver fillings” aren’t silver. Its mainly mercury ! Time released poison such I see from research is cause for many health problem & DNA Birth defect higher reaction to vaccines creating things like autism
For people on Gov programs from my research I found unless your Doctor says yes its medically related they will not just remove it because it not been made IIlegal, such then will then only pay for the teeth they deam as a problem again not because of the fillings , Yes such they will remove or help pay only unless its be said to be a problem like rotten teeth under not for the fact it even if 1 has Bone lose related , Yet because it not band the doctors will not remove it because it not Band
Those with Schizophrenia or Bipolar disorders of those how many are IIlfected by mercury

The neuropsychiatric sequelae of mercury poisoning. The Mad Hatter's disease revisited.
MRC Brain Metabolism Unit, Royal Edinburgh Hospital.
Abstract
BACKGROUND The detailed effects of mercury poisoning on cognitive function, brain anatomy and regional brain function are largely unknown. We report the case of a 38-year-old man who was exposed to toxic levels of inorganic mercury.
METHOD Four years after exposure, the patient was assessed using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single-photon emission computerised tomography (SPECT) and detailed neuropsychological evaluation.
RESULTS The patient developed a myriad of physical and psychiatric complaints, including stomatitis, muscle spasm, tremor, skin rash and the psychiatric syndrome known as 'erythism' (Mad Hatter's disease). Neuropsychological evaluation revealed marked and significant deficits of attention concentration, particularly when under time pressure. The MRI scan was unremarkable; however, SPECT revealed hypermetabolism of the posterior cingulate
CONCLUSIONS Mercury poisoning appeared to result in a dysregulation of posterior cingulate cortex, which was associated with attention/concentration deficits and marked anxiety/agitation.

AND.. if Obama would pick up the tab to get me to Washington, and perhaps the hotel and taxi bill to boot...
I would give it some serious consideration!
