An Ohio man at the market told President Obama that business has been "
Terrible since you got here," according to the White House pool report. Via
the pool report:
Potus stopped to meet people waiting for him, where he did the requisite
hand-shaking, high-fiving and the rare baby-holding before going on to chat
with proprietors at Turczyk's Meats and the adjoining Larry Vilstein's,
Christopher Bakery and Edward Badbuster & Son. He then asked the proprietor
at Rolston Poultry how business was going. "Terrible since you got here,"
the man said. Pool could not get close enough to the Rolston Poultry man to
get his name or political affiliation. Potus didn't appear amused by the
sentiment.
The president visited Cleveland's West Side Market this afternoon.
Other exchanges from the report:
Potus stopped first at Michelle's Bakery, where he chatted with the two
ladies manning the counter. They discussed business, the outlet's cheese
danish and butternut bread. Potus asked about the challenges in running a
small business, and one of the ladies said she makes all of the goods at
home and transports them to the market.Potus seemed enamored by the shop's
name."It is no coincidence that I’m stopping at Michelle’s bakery," Potus
said. "I just want to point that out. And she spells it the right way, with
two Ls. That’s the correct way. How are you. Good to see you. So Michelle
, when did you get started with this?" Potus ordered one piece pumpkin
cheesecake ($2.95), one Danish butternut loaf ($6.95) and one loaf of
zucchini bread ($6.95). He insisted on taking a photograph in front of the
sign that read "Michelle's Bakery." |
