Par for the course for the Secularist. This is what happens when you become narcissistic.

It's going to be pretty embarrassing for these false messiah worshipers when they find their idol, like most idols, has feet of clay.

One more mark in the “False Prophet” list for Obama...

I ran the same search at Borders and Amazon, and neither turned up the Obama book. Looks like Barnes is the most biased bookseller!

For a while I shopped on line at B&N but I found their search engine to be just horrible.

I can't even imagine a search algorhythm that would yield that result unless it includes a line like this

if "god" return "obama"

Just what we need, another prophet, and this one a Marxist.

Obama said there’d be signs...

No Obama at Amazon, but 2 of the top 3 results are Hitchens and Dawkins.

Bump for amusement. “Biography” is the main keyword; someone must have added “God”.

All the rest of the titles that came up include "God" in the title. Obama's doesn't. So someone has been playing with the search function, IMO.

Yep, did the search, it’s as you say. Unbelievable.

At B&N the liberal books are always prominently displayed and we delight in covering them up with other books. A couple of years ago I asked for some anti-clinton book and had to have help finding it. It turned out to be in the back of the store, bottom shelf. I called for the manager and threw a hissy fit. It did get better at that particular store. At least for a while it was better but I don't buy political books anymore so I am not looking.

"Shop at Borders."

Shop at your friendly neighborhood independent book store.

Don’t buy books at the chains. Instead, use abe.com and access the thousands of lesser but indespensible book shops found around the nation.
