Obama Tackles the Important Issues

Maybe he ought to have one.

Sigh.

"InBev turns to Busch shareholders; Company urges board's ouster after rejection" by Bloomberg News | July 8, 2008

ATLANTA - The conflict moved Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic candidate for US president, to speak against the proposed InBev takeover during a campaign appearance in St. Louis.

"I do think that it'd be shame if Bud is foreign-owned," Obama said. "We should be able to find an American company that is interested in purchasing Anheuser-Busch if in fact Anheuser-Busch feels that it's necessary to sell."

How come he doesn't seem to concerned with Zionist Israel's strange-hold over the U.S. government?

In its statement, Anheuser-Busch said an InBev subsidiary has a "significant partnership" with Cuba's government to make and distribute products in the Caribbean country. Anheuser-Busch said InBev hasn't said how the arrangement with Cuba would affect the US brewer's customer relationships or ability to get approval for the deal from US regulators.

Who cares if some Cubans hoist a few? WTF?!?

InBev spokeswoman Devlin didn't have an immediate response when contacted for comment on the statement. Anheuser-Busch rose 7 cents to $61.74 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. InBev rose 0.7 percent in Brussels.
