Obama buys books in Va. to
promote independent shops

Associated Press, by Joe Gorlik

Arlington, Va. - President Barack Obama made a quick trip to a Virginia bookstore for some Christmas shopping. The president took his daughters, Sasha and Malia, to One More Page Books in Arlington, Va., on Saturday afternoon. The White House says Obama was promoting an effort called “small business Saturday” to encourage shoppers to patronize mom-and-pop businesses after Thanksgiving. At the store, Obama held up his BlackBerry, apparently looking up a book title as he spoke with shop owner Eileen McGervey. He said “preparation” was the key to his shopping.

Comments:
If you need to check the setting on your BS Meter, this short article will help tune it. How? 0bama claims to be "Christmas" shopping. If he can´t mention God in his annual Thanksgiving message to US as a nation, he doesn´t recognize Christmas. Oh, and using the Blackberry was his portable TOTUS.

Which family members would that be Zero? Your brother´s child that Dinesh De Souza paid for his surgery? Your aunt on welfare? Your uncle? Maybe some typical white people related to your very mysterious mother?

Sounds like this was just nothing more than a slap in the face to Walmart, since Walmart won this latest battle with the union issue.

If he really wanted to help he would cut taxes, cut regulations, not impose Obama care on small business, and not block real customers from coming into my bookstore.....

But, he just wants a photo op..

"One More Page" will be going "Chapter 7" within four years under Obamatax and Obamacare.

How nice of him to throw a bone to small businesses for a day. The other 364 of them are spent trying to kill small businesses.

We all know he promotes green energy and would not have bought printed books.

Oh my god, I mean oh my Obama! I´m getting all uh moist inside.. He´s just so, so so Dreamy!!! It´s like He looks at you and you just melt like butter and you wanna get on your knees... Oh my Obama! I´m going to faint, He´s soooo Dreamy!!!!

I always thought there was something creepy about Obama´s "smile", and now I hear the same creepiness in his "laugh" (or whatever you can call it). But the dark, hidden agenda behind the persona is exactly what his worshippers love about him. Anyway, I Hope Malia and Sasha enjoy their copies of Rules For Radicals, The People´s History Of The United States, and Das Kapital (no, he didn´t buy them the Manifesto - they already use it as study material at home).

#5 is right. Every time Obama visits a place of business, or even praises one in a speech, the business goes belly up. Reverse Midas touch.

1. A huge number of small businesses have been destroyed by Obama´s policies. Not because of those policies "going wrong," but because they produced the only results they could have.

2. And this little, nearly-unseen, weekend exercise in clumsy propaganda cost us taxpayers how much? Didn´t calculate that, AP? Hmmm? How many SS agents? How many zillion-dollar armored SUVs? How much did it cost the locals for their cops´ overtime? How many area businesses had to close that day? For how long? How much time and gas did locals waste so Stinky could do what he pleased, when he pleased, where he pleased -- all to no ["no," as in "zero"] beneficial purpose?

The whole thing, somehow, stinks more by the day.

So Barry went book shopping at an small business shop, the very one he wants to raise taxes on and put them out of business. Isn´t Barry soooooo special.

What´s really amazing here is how Obama tries to portray himself as an honest president trying to do his job while his hacks are working behind the scenes trying to destroy the country from the inside out.It´s not just economic liberalism but cultural and foreign policy liberalism.

Look at all the so called progress the left has accomplished over the past 4 years,does anybody think a single one of them is happy?

Not that I follow gossip(snicker) but i was reading about Elizabeth Montgomery´s behind the scenes basket case life yesterday.She had all the trappings of the rich and famous but was tormented by a fatal attraction to older and abusive men.

The point is a person´s pubic image can be crafted by media specialists that make them likeable or whatever.These are the type advisers that have Obama going to NJ or this bookstore.

I think Obama´s daughters had a lot to do with him getting reelected.Even though they´re rarely in public,people of all stripes seem to like them regardless of what creeps Obama and his wife are.I keep my fingers crossed that they don´t grow up to be far left liberals and they have as sense of proportion over what´s right and wrong.

So the Dunce-in-Chief buys a book to get himself a photo op while the Secret Service no doubt turned away hundreds of potential customers so he could be "safe" inside the store? Just like he drives hundreds of military people off the golf course at Bolling Air Force base in Washington so the selfish little twit can hit the ball around. The only thing "transparent" about this boy is his sick personality.

Wherever the Won goes there is a LARGE bubble of protection. Hundreds of paying customers are blocked . Streets are closed and employees are searched, bomb sniffed and background checked. When He stopped for an ice cream in Bar Harbor, Maine a couple of summers ago there were F-16s circling above all day. Was all of that really necessary ?

So why isn´t the story by the press headlined as "Tech challenged president still buying paper books"?. If Bush or Romney were the president, the story would be all about how he is in such a rut and so unprogressive that he doesn´t know you don´t have to spend taxpayer money on Secret Service details going to a bookstore when you can go online and download the book, the whole process taking less than 1 minute. How stupid is he?

Washington - A key committee in the Republican-led House has taken up a tough enforcement-focused immigration bill, but the proceedings were immediately interrupted by protesters shouting "Shame, shame!" More than a dozen protesters began chanting as soon as Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia gaveled the committee hearing open Tuesday. Goodlatte stopped the proceedings until the protesters were ushered into the hall, where their shouts could still be heard. Goodlatte said the bill under consideration, which empowers local law enforcement to enforce federal immigration

It’s been two years since NASA’s space shuttle program came to an end, but thousands of Americans still dream of becoming astronauts. Eight of them – four men and four women – were introduced Monday as NASA’s astronaut candidate class for 2013. (Snip) The bios of the eight people selected will probably make you feel like a bit of a slacker. Two of them have PhDs and one is a physician training in sports medicine. Four have experience as test pilots for the Navy or Air Force. One person is working at the Pentagon on ways to defeat the homemade bombs that have plagued troops in Iraq and

Washington - After Republicans lost the presidential election and seats in both the House and the Senate last year, many in the party offered a stern admonishment: If we want to broaden our appeal, steer clear of divisive social and cultural issues. Yet after the high-profile murder trial of an abortion doctor in Philadelphia this spring, many Republicans in Washington and in state capitals across the country seem eager to reopen the emotional fight over a woman’s right to end a pregnancy. (Snip) The bill stands no chance of becoming law, with Democrats in control of the Senate and the White House.

Tehran - President-elect Hassan Rowhani of Iran, speaking Monday for the first time since his election victory, said he wanted to reduce tensions with the United States but ruled out direct talks between the two estranged nations. In his first news conference after winning Friday’s presidential election promising more freedoms and better relations with the outside world, Mr. Rowhani called the issue of nonexistent relations between Iran and the United States “an old wound, which must be healed.” Iran, he said, wants to reduce tensions between the two countries, which have no diplomatic relations and are

Washington - Pharmaceutical companies that pay rivals to keep less-expensive generic versions of best-selling drugs off the market can expect greater federal scrutiny after a Supreme Court ruling on Monday. In a 5-to-3 vote, the justices effectively said that the Federal Trade Commission can sue pharmaceutical companies for potential antitrust violations, a decision that is likely to increase the number of generic drugs in the marketplace and benefit consumers. Specifically, the justices threw out lower-court rulings that said the agreements were legal, provided that a deal did not keep a generic

Washington - Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor who exposed the U.S. government´s top-secret surveillance programs, fought back against his critics on Monday and denied allegations that he was a spy for China.

Edward Snowden Is In The

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
