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.

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

  2. 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.

  3. Maybe they are thanking God that he is now president.

  4. N – would it be more acceptable if it was Reagan?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. Can you name the president with multiple volumes in the religion section.

    @ 3:57 pm on February 12, 2009

  8. 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!

  9. Jimmy Carter, I’ll wager. (Sorry, Jimma)

  10. 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!

  11. Sad. Every single book in the section has either Barack or Michelle on the cover.

  13. 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.

    @ 4:08 pm on February 12, 2009

  14. Update: 3 titles by Jimmy Carter on religious topics (Bible study, namely) and one title ABOUT him with a religious title.

  15. In case you are interested, the number there is 214.219.0512 then press #2.

  16. So NOW you guys suddenly see the vaule of a division between church and state? Geez.

    @ 4:25 pm on February 12, 2009

  17. Pass the Barf Bag!

    @ 4:28 pm on February 12, 2009

  18. I just called them and it seems this is a hoax. That section is labeled ‘Politics’ in their store. Someone photoshopped this image.

  19. 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.

  20. @DFK- Better take it up with Obama, he’s keeping the faith-based intitiative thang, maybe even expanding it.

    @ 4:33 pm on February 12, 2009

  21. PR,

    @ 4:34 pm on February 12, 2009

  22. 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.

    @ 4:37 pm on February 12, 2009

  23. At least nobody is overreacting.

    @ 4:39 pm on February 12, 2009

  24. 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.

    @ 4:44 pm on February 12, 2009

  25. Not a hoax. Go check it yourself.

    @ 4:47 pm on February 12, 2009

  26. Its a hoax, they don’t even have a section titled Religion, they call it Self, Spirit & More.

    @ 4:49 pm on February 12, 2009

  27. I stand corrected. I still disagree with nebi, however, that “the O is not a religion.” It’s close enough for me.

    @ 4:53 pm on February 12, 2009

  28. Oh, I don’t stand corrected. (George Carlin voice): Does that mean I sit corrected?

    @ 4:54 pm on February 12, 2009

  29. 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.

  30. Heres’ another pic:

  31. I guess I’ll try a link: http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww240/dallasguy/IMG_0807.jpg

  32. 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.

    @ 4:57 pm on February 12, 2009

  33. Let’s go burn it down. And if anyone has some spare pitchforks, and maybe some tar and feathers?

    But please don’t overreact.

    @ 5:04 pm on February 12, 2009

  34. Well maybe someone could light some candles!

    @ 5:35 pm on February 12, 2009

  35. My branch of the Dallas Public Library has had preetty much the same display since september.

    @ 6:11 pm on February 12, 2009

  36. When it’s Barry, we’re just overreacting.

    Let’s see what this photo does for the crazies.

    Suck it.

  37. SB, isn’t Photoshop a wonderful thing? Thanks for the Halo shot. I laughed out loud.
