An alert FBvian snapped this shot in the West Village Borders. It was taken in the “Religion” section of the Children’s area of the store. Curious.

Either someone has a sense of humor, or a sense of devotion.

Gee, I didn’t think he qualified as a religious leader. Nope, still don’t.
Borders is just another ultra-liberal retailer pushing their agenda on a bipartisan population.
scooter@ February 12th, 2009 at 3:47 pm
Maybe they are thanking God that he is now president.
Troll Doll@ February 12th, 2009 at 3:53 pm
N – would it be more acceptable if it was Reagan?
N@ February 12th, 2009 at 3:55 pm
No, I don’t believe so. When I see the features of the Religion section of a bookstore, I’m thinking a dedicated religious writer, a pastor, religion professor, etc. Not politicians or other laymen, even though some may write a good religiously influenced book.
Troll Doll@ February 12th, 2009 at 3:57 pm
It could just be that they had re-arranged some display space, and hadn’t yet changed the signage.
So maybe it’s not some ultra-liberal retailer, but some slow-ass employees.
Can you name the president with multiple volumes in the religion section.
PR@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:01 pm
It’s because after seeing his performance in the first three weeks of his Presidency, people are forced to pray for the future of our country — or at least for the next 4 years.
But, with his massive tax cut for low and middle class families, they can now take home and extra $8 per week. After one month, they can afford to buy one of his books.
80% of the so-called stimulus spending doesn’t take place until 2011. Assuming you accept his notion that we need immediate stimulus spending to help our economy, then his stimulus package would be a failure.
Go socialism!

Jimmy Carter, I’ll wager. (Sorry, Jimma)
Daniel@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:03 pm
It’s an amusing error and nothing more. The section appears to be wedged between “History & Social Studies” and “America.”
And my nephew’s birthday’s coming up, so thanks for the inadvertent gift suggestion, N. A treatises by an academic specialist will tickle the bugger piunk!
L@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:04 pm
Sad. Every single book in the section has either Barack or Michelle on the cover.

It’s American Girls, not America. Click on this link to see the logo.
This just in, y’all. I was wrong. But there appear to be books ABOUT Jimmy Carter in Religion. I’d like to collaborate with him on a book. Working title: Thank God They Can No Longer Say I’m the Worst President in U.S. History.
Long Memory@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Update: 3 titles by Jimmy Carter on religious topics (Bible study, namely) and one title ABOUT him with a religious title.

So NOW you guys suddenly see the vaule of a division between church and state? Geez.
I Don't Worship Obama Christ@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:28 pm
Pass the Barf Bag!
WendyWilliams@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:32 pm
I just called them and it seems this is a hoax. That section is labeled ‘Politics’ in their store. Someone photoshopped this image.
Hile Obama! Hile Obama!@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
Propaganda was fashionable in Stalin’s Russia. Stalin had his Kool-aid drinker follwers. So it is fashionable with the shmucks and riff-raff that follow our Messiah President.
Obama's Seat@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:33 pm
@DFK- Better take it up with Obama, he’s keeping the faith-based intitiative thang, maybe even expanding it.

nebi@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:37 pm
PR, I just called them and told them that Obama is not a religion and that they need to correct this. And explained to her that this is just not right and that everyone in her employment should know that the O is not a religion and that I felt it was done on purpose. I’m not far from this store and will check to see if they have done so.
Gwyon@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:39 pm
At least nobody is overreacting.
Daniel@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:44 pm
Nebi, considering it’s a hoax, whoever you spoke to rolled his/her eyes and held the phone up so his/her nearest colleague could hear, too, and they could suppress giggles.
You’re the Crazy Customer Mentioned With a Chuckle and a Shrug on West Village Borders Employees’ Smoke Breaks, 02-12-09. But if it’s any consolation, you’ll be entirely forgotten by close time.
Sky Masterson@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:47 pm
Not a hoax. Go check it yourself.
WendyWilliams@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
Its a hoax, they don’t even have a section titled Religion, they call it Self, Spirit & More.
Daniel@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:53 pm
I stand corrected. I still disagree with nebi, however, that “the O is not a religion.” It’s close enough for me.
Daniel@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:54 pm
Oh, I don’t stand corrected. (George Carlin voice): Does that mean I sit corrected?
The Ghost of Vince Foster@ February 12th, 2009 at 4:56 pm
Any books on the NWO or CFR? How bout Zbigniew Brzezinski or Henry Kissinger? Or maybe the Bilderberg Group or the Trilateral Commission?
Maybe you should read those before it’s too late.

FrontBurner® launched in March 2003, the first blog in Dallas run by a media organization. This is where the editors of D Magazine come to admit they used steroids -- but only to recover from injury, never to enhance their performance.

But this is a subsection of the Children’s Section, Wendy O. Williams.
Borders is just another, typical Stalinist retailer in a market jam-packed with same.
Let’s go burn it down. And if anyone has some spare pitchforks, and maybe some tar and feathers?
But please don’t overreact.
Well maybe someone could light some candles!
My branch of the Dallas Public Library has had preetty much the same display since september.
When it’s Barry, we’re just overreacting.
Let’s see what this photo does for the crazies.
Suck it.
SB, isn’t Photoshop a wonderful thing? Thanks for the Halo shot. I laughed out loud.
