Obama celebrates St. Patrick's Day with a Guinness

(CBS News) - The president got in the St. Patrick's Day spirit with a pint of Guinness at a local Irish pub in Washington, D.C.

Mr. Obama did not have to pay a cover charge at the Dubliner, a pub a short drive from the White House and just blocks from the U.S. Capitol. The lively crowd toasted with the president, and he also posed for a photo with a 21-month old baby who was also at the Irish celebration.

(The president's mid-day pint with revelers decked out in Irish green can be seen in the video above.)
