For Members of the BOG, Warning of Another Gate: What is Obama drinking at the White House? [View all]

At a White House rich in coffee lore, no word on president’s preference

By 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 Family’s 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 [they’ve been impacted] with budget cuts, and our coffee’s not cheap,' said Robert Barnes, the owner. 'In recent years it’s been more special events...'


Obviously giving up on the born in Hawaii scam! Kona is my favorite, but there is good Kenyan coffee to be had. And most coffee beans are called Arabica. This is where the RWNJs got their definition of Obama.

*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.
