President Obama visited his local independent bookstore to celebrate Small Business Saturday this past weekend and the Associated Press caught it all on tape:
The book-buyer-in-chief picked up “at least two bags of books” at Politics and Prose, attracting a small crowd. When one bystander called out, “I hope you can close Guantanamo,” the president replied, “We’re working on it. Thank you. Any other issues?”
