Apparently today was the Administration’s day to talk about a favorite subject of the left, how we should all be supporting small businesses over the evil big retailers.
Obama did it by going to a bookstore, where he bought several books including “The Kite Runner,” ”Harold and the Purple Crayon,” and “The Sports Gene.”
The president said he bought a reader for every age. How much he spent was not announced.
The Saturday after Thanksgiving has become known for those on the left as “Small Business Saturday” and you are supposed to shun large retailers in favor of mom and pop shops.
While Obama can take a political position if he so chooses, the Justice Department is supposed to be apolitical.
Yet today, someone from the Justice Department apparently was given the unenviable job of having to follow Eric Holder around and take his picture at the Union Market complex as Holder shopped at various small shops, and it was tweeted out over the Justice Department’s official twitter account.

How much was spent on the political effort, in protection and photography, is not clear, but it is hard to believe that they don’t understand the propriety of the office.
Oh wait, I forgot, it’s the Obama administration. As Gilda Radner would say, never mind…
Of course, with Obamacare alone, this administration has done an incredible amount to harm small businesses. That’s not to even mention any of their other anti-business efforts.
