Barack Obama Saves

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

    Maybe they are thanking God that he is now president.

  • Troll Doll

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

  • N

    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

    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

    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!

  • Long Memory

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

  • Daniel

    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!

    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

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

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

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

  • I Don't Worship Obama Christ

    Pass the Barf Bag!

  • WendyWilliams

    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!

    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

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

  • nebi

    PR,

  • nebi

    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

    At least nobody is overreacting.

  • Daniel

    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

    Not a hoax. Go check it yourself.

  • WendyWilliams

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

  • Daniel

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

  • Daniel

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

  • The Ghost of Vince Foster

    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.

  • Sky Masterson

    Heres’ another pic:

    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.

  • Troll Doll

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

    But please don’t overreact.

  • LakeWWWooder

    Well maybe someone could light some candles!

  • Arp

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

  • SB

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

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

    Suck it.

  • Daddy Claxton

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

  • Mr. Dog
