Obama buys books in Va. to
promote independent shops

Associated Press, by Joe Gorlik

Original Article

Posted By:LittleHoodedMonk, 11/24/2012 11:18:13 PM

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.

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..

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).

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.

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.

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.

North Korea appears to be preparing a fourth underground nuclear weapons test at Punggye-ri, the site of its previous test, a South Korean government source says. Pyongyang appeared to be making preparations for the test, according to a South Korean government source speaking to the country’s Joong Ang Daily newpaper. This comes on the heels of the South’s defence ministry reports that Pyongyang could perform a mid-range missile test-launch by Wednesday – also the deadline it has given to foreign diplomats to evacuate, as their safety would reportedly no longer be guaranteed

Bridgewater, N.J. - Like clockwork, they´re coming back -- after 17 years. "They" would be cicadas, the big, noisy bugs that climb out of the earth about every decade and a half to make everyone´s life more exciting. Experts tell Gannett News Service that the bugs live underground and feed off fluid that gathers near the roots of plants, then emerge from the soil when its temperature reaches 64 degrees. They´re largely harmless, but their sheer numbers can cause headaches. Some areas could see as many as a billion of the cicadas per square mile. That can lead to a lot of dead bugs all over roadways

Caracas - Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan opposition supporters rallied in a staunchly pro-government part of the capital on Sunday, answering a call by their candidate Henrique Capriles and showing strength a week before the presidential election. "Today the streets of Caracas are full of happiness and hope, confirming what will happen next Sunday," Capriles, the 40-year-old governor of Miranda state, told the crowd. Capriles faces acting President Nicolas Maduro, who has vowed to continue the hard-line socialism of his late boss, Hugo Chavez, if he wins the April 14 election.

Snoop Lion made bold comments about gay marriage and rap music, even addressing singer Frank Ocean´s coming out. Snoop, 41, who has spoken in favor of marriage equality before, was asked by The Guardian if he believed the R&B singer´s declaration of having loved a man meant gay relationships would soon be accepted in the rap community. "Frank Ocean ain´t no rapper," Snoop is quoted as saying. "He´s a singer. It´s acceptable in the singing world, but in the rap world I don´t know if it will ever be acceptable because rap is so masculine."

(Snip) Sen. Lindsey O.

Shanghai & Hong Kong - China said it was mobilizing resources nationwide to combat a new strain of bird flu that has killed six people, as Japan and Hong Kong stepped up vigilance and the United States said it was closely monitoring the situation. All of the 14 reported infections from the H7N9 bird flu strain have been in eastern China and at least four of the six dead are in the financial hub of Shanghai, a city of 20 million people. The strain does not appear to be transmitted from human to human but authorities in Hong Kong raised a preliminary alert and said they were taking precautions at the airport.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
