Obama Loses Beer Bet With Harper


United States President Barack Obama has lost a bet and now owes Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper a case of beer. The two men made a friendly wager based on the outcome of the Olympic gold medal hockey game Sunday, between the United States and Canada.

Sidney Crosby ended up clenching the win (3-2) for Canada with an overtime goal in the exciting game. Harper can now expect a case of 24 Molson Canadian beer from Obama soon, however a time and date has not yet been set.

The beer, which will cost Obama between $40-45, is bottled by Canada’s oldest brewery, which actually happens to be part of Coors now. Had Obama won the bet, Harper would have had to buy Obama a case of Yuengling beer, which is considered the oldest beer maker in the United States, based in Pennsylvania.

This bet follows a different bet by White House spokesman Robert Gibbs and the Prime Minister’s spokesman, Dimitri Soudas. Apparently the two spokesmen had a wager based upon the winner of the women’s gold medal hockey game. With Canada also winning that game, Gibbs must wear a Team Canada jersey the next time he meets with the press.
