Along his way he picked up “No Apology” by Mitt Romney and “Courage and Consequence” by Karl Rove. “What do you think guys?” he asked the pool, holding up a hardback copy of each in his hands before setting them back down.

A few minutes later POTUS stepped up to the cash register with two books in his hands: “Journey to the River Sea” by Eva Ibbotson and “The Secret of Zoom” by Lynne Jonell for his daughters, which he said had come highly recommended. He also bought a book for Robert Gibbs, who was holding a large Star Wars pop-up book for his six-year-old son, Ethan.

“It’s a little expensive, sir,” Gibbs said to his boss as he handed it over.

POTUS showed the book to pool as the cashier rang it up for $37.44.

“I can handle it,” Obama said as Gibbs suggested he pay. “It’s for keeping his dad away for too many hours a day.”
