l******a 发帖数: 3803 | 1 CLEVELAND, Ohio -- President Barack Obama followed up his campaign stop at
Cleveland State University with an unexpected stop at the city's iconic West
Side Market.
The president toured the city-owned grand terra cotta and granite building
at W. 25th Street and Lorain Avenue, arriving around 3:20 p.m.
"I think I'll have a smokie while I'm here," he said as he browsed at a meat
stand.
He also bought some baked goods at Michelle's Bakery.
"It is no coincidence I'm stopping at Michelle's Bakery," he said, alluding
to the first lady's name.
The president spent about $40 on the shopping spree, buying:
20 smokies
a half pound of BBQ jerky
a half pound of mild jerky
1 piece pumpkin cheesecake
1 Danish butternut loaf
1 loaf zucchini bread
The hum of the market, combined with the distance at which poolers were kept
, made it impossible to hear what he ordered. But cheese danish and
butternut bread were overheard as the president pulled out a money clip and
bakery workers filled a pastry box.
Some vendors snapped photos. Shoppers and other guests were held behind rope
lines, but Obama chatted them up, hugging at least one baby as he worked
his way through the market.
Not everyone was excited. The vendor at Rolston Poultry grumbled as poolers
commented on his chicken display.
President Barack Obama today stopped by the West Side Market in Cleveland's
Ohio City neighborhood. The market at W. 25th Street and Lorain Avenue is
celebrating its centennial in 2012.
"Take one home with you," the man said. "I haven't sold anything in 40
minutes."
When the president made his way to Rolston's, he asked how business was.
"Terrible since you got here," the vendor said.
Obama quickly shifted direction to another stand. | s**********l 发帖数: 8966 | 2 活该。

人等赶开,于是就影响了店铺的正常生意。
总统问店主:“生意怎样?”
店主:“自打您驾到,就糟透了。”
哈哈!这个事件真该演绎成一个全国性的竞选广告:
总统问:“生意怎样?”
全国选民:“自打您驾到,就糟透了。”
