At a lengthy, sprawling press
conference this afternoon following significant Democratic losses
in yesterday’s midterm, President Obama said something that
probably won’t surprise anyone: He could use a drink.
Specifically, Obama said he would “enjoy having some Kentucky
bourbon, ah, with Mitch McConnell.”
He
continued:
I don’t know what his preferred drink is, but you know, my
interactions with Mitch McConnell, he — you know, he has always
been very straightforward with me.To his credit, he has never made a promise that he couldn’t
deliver. And you know, he knows the legislative process well. He
obviously knows his caucus well. You know, he’s always given me, I
think, realistic assessments of what he can get through his caucus
and what he can’t. And so, I think we can have a productive
relationship.
If McConnell (who is
apparently a Manhattan fan) and Obama do share a bottle of
Kentucky’s finest, here’s
what they ought to drink:
I’ve got a bottle in my liquor cabinet right now, and I can
vouch for its tastiness.
Obama was not always so keen on grabbing a drink
with the Kentucky Republican:
