At a White House rich in coffee lore, no word on presidents preferenceBy Matt Viser - September 15, 2014

Caffeine consumption in the West Wing has, apparently, become a state secret.
WASHINGTON - A recipe for beer brewed by the White House? The Obama administration happily shares it. A list of wines served at state dinners? No problem. But what about the First Familys coffee habits?
My mug is empty.
Security concerns are initially cited. Then e-mails go unreturned. Caffeine consumption in the West Wing has, apparently, become a state secret.
For an administration that loves to talk about the importance of local food, especially when it comes from the celebrated White House vegetable garden, it turns out that the Obama White House makes it nearly impossible to find the source of its coffee and how it is prepared...
Barack and Michelle are apparently rebelling against the sacred bean, the mainstream of many Americans, and all around Patriotism. Even Michelle refuses to break under interrogation.
Rumor has it that Obama drinks tea, which should have endeared him the GOPTeas. Another FAIL!
No one will vote for Obama in 2016 and my 'Obama Until Kingdom Come' posters will be irrelevant. He claims he won't run, not even if drafted, but I never believed him! Now that CoffeeGate is upon us, my heart is broken.

More on the next scandal:

Here's another picture* of Obama, looking very suspicious, I might add:

The White House refuses to say what coffee is served at the residence. Above, a picture of President Obama drinking a hot drink in April 2008.
...The White House has also purchased from Kona Rainforest Farm, a small, four employee Hawaiian coffee farm which has sold to the president's residence before.
Their website boasts that they are 'now served at the home of America's First Family - the Obama White House.'
However, the White House has only ordered from the farm four times, and their most recent purchase was for Independence Day in 2013, and only for 50 pounds.
'Initially they were buying pretty frequently. I think [theyve been impacted] with budget cuts, and our coffees not cheap,' said Robert Barnes, the owner. 'In recent years its been more special events...'
Obviously giving up on the born in Hawaii scam!

*Note he is sinister, that is, left-handed. A blow to Righties everywhere! Yes, this could have been better, but I haven't had my morning cup of coffee yet and needed to vent.

OP
Yes, indeed! Articles say he even goes into the Temple of Caffeine, Starbucks, and orders Tea!

Yes! He only cares about the black side of himself! That's why he's divisive and unfit to lead.

They consider themselves educated. Eugenics employed the now discredited 'science' of phrenology.

That would be a great idea. Since the original core of my own place was an 1848 slave cabin,
