Obama uses Black Friday to push small business agenda
US President Barack Obama made a quick trip to a Virginia bookstore for some Christmas shopping on Saturday.
The president took his daughters, Sasha and Malia, to One More Page Books in Arlington, Virginia, on Saturday afternoon.
The shop is about eight miles (13 kilometres) from the White House.
The White House said Obama was promoting an effort called "small business Saturday" to encourage shoppers to patronise family businesses after the Thanksgiving holiday.
At the shop, Obama held up his BlackBerry, apparently looking up a book title as he spoke with shop owner Eileen McGervey.
He said "preparation" was the key to his shopping.
Obama brushed off a reporter's question about the looming "fiscal cliff," saying "we're doing Christmas shopping."
The White House said Obama bought 15 children's books that will be given as Christmas gifts to family members.
