White House expresses distaste for Obama wine


I'm sure it would be a smokey, woody vintage with a hint of lemon...**

WASHINGTON (CNN) - The White House is not taking kindly to a report of a special wine created to commemorate President Obama's historic status as the country's first African-American commander-in-chief.

French winemaker Angela Bousquet-Keita has reportedly created an Obama cuvee - or vintage wine - to celebrate Obama's election, according to a report by Spiegel Online.

But the White House is responding with sour grapes to the news.

"The White House has a longstanding policy of disapproving uses of the President's name and likeness for commercial purposes," White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said in an e-mail to CNN.
**I just made that crap up, I have no idea how to judge wine..
