Obama: Web freedom will be part of Democratic platform(CNN) - This week, Republicans made a free and open Internet part of their party's 2012 platform. On Wednesday, during a visit with some of the most ardent open-Web supporters, President Barack Obama said Democrats will do the same. "Internet freedom is something I know you all care passionately about; I do too," Obama wrote during an AMA ("ask me anything") on social-news site Reddit. "We will fight hard to make sure that the Internet remains the open forum for everybody - from those who are expressing an idea to those to want to start a business." Obama became the most high-profile person to host one of the site's live chats, during which well-known figures take questions live. The site's two most popular AMA's before Wednesday were astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson and "Jeopardy" champ Ken Jennings.

Previously, Obama officials had been tight-lipped on the subject. But in a petition on the White House website, individuals identifying themselves as “home brewers across America” called on the Obama administration to fork over details of the secret ingredients, which reportedly include honey from the White House gardens. Separately, a Freedom of Information Act request was filed in an attempt to score the details. White House chefs reportedly brew three varieties: a porter, a honey ale, and a honey blonde.
