Beer at the White House

Getting a kick out of the Beer Summit President Obama threw for police Officer Crowley and Harvard Professor Henry David Gates. Read my comment in Newsweek.

I think it's a brilliant way to diffuse a volatile situation. Especially impressed that an off the cuff comment by officer Crowley was the impetus to this landmark summit. If only the White House kitchen served bread instead of nuts and pretzels we could have witnessed the parties breaking bread. Talk about civilized.
