Barack loves a Guinness. Michelle, not so much

published 23 May 2011

Brilliant to see the President of the USA gulping back hearty amounts of Guinness, while visiting the Republic of Ireland this week.

The world's most powerful man sunk a pint of plain like a pro. The same, we fear, can not be said of his good lady.

As these images suggest Michelle Obama may not have been quite so keen on Dublin's finest export. In fact, if there's one thing that face says to us it's that the swig she's just taken won't go down and stay down.

Hats of for effort though. Bet they could still put David and Samantha Cameron under the table at today's barbecue.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
