Obamas shop to honour small businesses
Washington
US President Barack Obama, joined by his daughters, went shopping on Saturday at Politics and Prose, an independent bookstore in the capital, in what has become a Thanksgiving weekend tradition for the first family to honour Small Business Saturday - an outing that mixed policy and purchases.
The president and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, browsed the shelves and chatted with customers before buying two bags full of books at the store, where they also shopped at this time last year. According to a White House print pool report, Mr Obama at one point held a patron's baby.
