Just since July, Obama has stopped at four different bars to quaff a cold  one, bought a round of Bud Lights at the Iowa State Fair and released his White House microbrew recipe, according to CBS News reporter  Mark Knoller, who keeps meticulous records of the president’s activities.

And in the past few weeks, he’s begun finding his way to sports bars where  two of the country’s favorite leisure pursuits are combined.

“I’ve been missing football a little too much,” he admitted at The Point  After in Sioux City on the opening weekend of college football this month.
