Press Pool Refuses Beer From Obama
HONOLULU, Hawaii – A few members of the press pool following President-Elect Barack Obama in Hawaii refused to have a beer on his tab last week. Obama had been on a holiday vacation in the state he once called home when the refusal occurred. The press pool was sitting outside the club house of a golf course on which Obama had been playing poorly by his own admission. Obama offered the round of beers at the snack bar half way through his five-hour game of 18 holes. The pool noticed that Obama ran up a $17.75 tab that consisted of two spam masubi rolls among other items. Spam musubi is made from spam and a fried egg on a bed of rice on a dried seaweed wrap, according to the New York Times.
