What are you upset about?

That’s a serious question.

They’re a business. They sell books.

His name is on 2 of them. He just won the Presidency.

Of COURSE they’re going to promote the things they have for sale.

Your version of ‘politics’ isnt politics at all, it’s bullying when you dont get your way.

Grow up.

I’d be curious how many “uhs” are in the book.

That’s ridiculous! If McCain won they would’ve sent an email touting books about/by him. They probably had both written ahead of time and were just waiting to see which one to send. Please get a grip. Oh, and welcome to FR.

Yeah, I guess that means the 'fair and impartial' moderator Gwen Ifel's book isn't headed for the remainder rack.

They’re big box booksellers selling to the widest audience they can, selling all the common titles.

Like it or not, Obama’s books sell well. The majority of American voters just elected him indicating he’s a hot commodity. B&N smelled a business opportunity like any good business does.

/sniff

Smell that? Capitalisim. You don’t have to like it, but it smells like profits in a otherwise weak economy.

I was in Brentanos Book store this weekend. They had a big sign “The Race for the White House” at the entrance.

I looked at the table and all the books except two were Obama cheer books, the other two were McCain bashing books.

They even had a display of political decks of cards. All the decks in the front had Obama on them. The McCain decks were tucked into the back of the display.

Typical.

What would you expect Barnes & Noble to do, blast out an email refusing to support Obama as President and announce they are removing his books from their shelves?

Seriously, they are a business like any other for crying out loud. And they are in the business of selling books, not political viewpoints.

Barnes and Noble ranked 100% LIB in a list I saw yesterday of where they stood politically.

Try to buy straight from the authors’ websites if you can.

They did the same thing with Bush in 2004. Non-issue. You can’t seriously boycott a bookstore for selling books, can you??

Good grief. It’s a book about the next president after a big campaign - if you don’t want to read it don’t.

I recceived same email. I deleted without even looking at it.

Like radio or TV I can choose to watch or listen or I can change channel.

I do not get upset by it.
