Red, Lite and Blue Summit
- Red, Lite and Blue Summit
Nickname given to a meeting between President Obama, Professor Henry Gates and Sergeant James Crowley, on account of their beers of choice.
Ahead of the White House “beer summit” between President Obama, Professor Henry Gates and police Sergeant James Crowley (whose recentarrest of Gates catalyzed a fierce row about race and policing into which the President waded), ABC News reported:
The president will drink Bud Light, White House Press Secretary Gibbs told reporters today. Gates has said he likes Red Stripe, while Sgt. James Crowley mentioned to the president that he prefers Blue Moon.
“So we’ll have the gamut covered tomorrow afternoon,” Gibbs added. …
For days, people have been speculating about what the president would choose for Thursday’s gathering? A lager? A porter? Maybe a wheat beer? Does he pick something light to help the men with the Washington, D.C., summer heat?
Gibbs’s announcement aboard Air Force One today now clears the way for the Red, Lite and Blue summit.
(This meeting has also been described as a “suds summit” and “beer diplomacy.”)
