Drink up

Seems like every Chicago politician is trading in Goose Island 312. Here's Rahm passing along a case to the Israeli ambassador to the U.S.

And here's Obama paying off a World Cup bet with David Cameron with the Urban Wheat beer:

 

The timing of Rahm's gift couldn't be better. Even with Peavy on the mound, the White Sox lost to the Angels 6-2. The Sox now lead the division by 1.5 games meaning....it's time to drink.

Obama, by the way, thinks the White Sox are going to make the playoffs and then probably lose to the Nationals:

President Obama on Friday congratulated the Washington Nationals on clinching a playoff berth.

"I want to congratulate the Washington Nationals for bringing playoff baseball to D.C.," Obama said at a campaign speech in Woodbrigde, Va., on Friday. "You guys are looking good."

Obama, noting his hometown Chicago White Sox are leading their division by two games, said he looked forward to a Windy City-D.C. World Series.

"I am looking forward to a White Sox-Nationals World Series. It’s going to happen. White Sox are still in first place," Obama continued. "But I've got to admit, you guys are looking a little better right now. You guys are looking very good."
