(CNN) - With Christmas only four days away, President Barack Obama did some last-minute holiday shopping, escaping the legislative stalemate in Congress over the payroll tax extensions.
The president took first dog Bo with him to visit an Alexandria, Virginia shopping center.

Oh boy – here comes the candidates from the RIGHT bearing down on President Obama because he is NOT allowed to shop because the HOUSE messed up on a vote. They will not blame the HOUSE, they will blame President Obama. This is going to take place in 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1..........
Obama 2012!!
And everyone in Alex., Va was very happy to see him again – win in 2012!
Waiting for our friends on the right to have something negative to say about Obama buying a holiday gift. Come on lets hear it already so we can move on.
It’s nice to have a President that's not afraid of being out with regular people, trying to still do what regular people do.
I'm sure the elitist slithering GOP attack lizards will try to make this into something ugly as that's all they seem capable of doing – TRYING to spread ugliness and depravity where ever there is some good being done.
But the American people will not let them do their evil deeds anymore.
"Waiting for our friends on the right to have something negative to say about Obama buying a holiday gift. "
Well, CNN, like a good little MSM bag of crap, clearly wrote the article to bait them, focusing intensely on how much Obama was spending on a couple Xmas gifts.
Sorry, I really do support the President, but i just gotta ask: WHY IS A SITTING PRESIDENT STANDING IN LINE BUYING DOGFOOD?? (sorry about the caps, but that's how I feel)
You CANT tell me that he doesnt have more important things to do...
(Of course, i feel the same way about the House GOP walking out this morning... Geez – Next November cant get here soon enough. Obama 2012! Take back the House!)

Oh, c'mon T'Sah. Obama has every right to take some time to attend to personal business just like everyone else over the holidays. And next year he will have plenty more time as a Lame Duck President. Shopping, hiking, sledding...
This is the most down to earth First Family. I would like to see Bo on the campaign trail.
Merry Christmas Mr. President to you and your family. Forget whatever the haters say and keep looking out for us.
Cue the extreme rightwing hatemonkeys in 4, 3, 2, 1
Money INTO the economy. You can't beat that.

Well Four – The first part of your statement is true, so I will agree with that!! As far as the second sentence, I don't think so – there are still things to be done and he will take care of it. By the way, could you please give me heads up on what your new name is going to be after President Obama wins in 2012???? I will have to know who you are so we can continue our dialog; I mean, Four and the Door is just not going to work after 2012!!
Obama 2012
I am happy president took some time for shopping
Some are criticizing $40 pay roll tax cut tweet My water bill average $40 per month for me that $40 cover one bill like me many out there

Okay Four you actually had me laughing out loud, in a good way, with that one! Thanks, and Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas to you and everyone that frequents this site!
Good to see the President out and about mixing with average Americans. I like to see the way people's faces light up with a smile when they are around him.
He is indeed everyman's President White, Gay, Black, Latino, Asian blue-collar and white collar, and yes even Teatards lol!
Merry Christmas Mr. President!
Happy Holidays fellow bloggers!
“GOP hatemonkeys” – that's perfect!
@voices in your head – yea, and I'm sure the President shouldn't take a half hour to maintain his sanity. Not like he’s running off to some gated compound in Texass to run a chainless chain saw – now that keeps you sane.
And the GOPers surely don't need sanity, look at who they have running for the GOP top spot – not one of them responds in a sane way to any questions.
@ T'sah:
Oh snap T'sah nice comeback on Four!
Here are some options for Four: " I Knew There'd Be Four", "He Gave Us Four More", " Four More Close the Door"....!!lol!
There he goes again! Spending MY MONEY again !
If Obama gets "re-elected", there will be rioting in the streets worse than if Putin gets re-elected in Russia. There is no way Obama can get re-elected again. The experiment failed miserably. Ask anyone...Are you better off now than 3 years ago? NOT.
slow news day

How about, " Four More and The Door for Sure"?... but I already have dibs on," Romney/ Pawlenty until twenty twenty".
( I don't know about the team, butat least it rhymes well).
"Good to see the President out and about mixing with average Americans."
I don't think the secret service standing next to him will allow that. I wouldn't be surprised if there was an agent next to the cashier.
Merry Christmas Mr President and family! God Bless you and God Bless us everyone! Oh and for the hateful teabaggin party of NO...lots of coal
