Correction: This story was based on a pool report from President Obama’s bookstore visit. Video of the event, released later, shows it’s more likely Obama is referring to the picture of himself on the cover of the book when he says “he’s just sad” — and is not referring to author Chuck Todd. 
  
  
  
 The commander in chief doesn’t think much of the man who labeled him “The Stranger.” 
  
 Shopping at a Washington, DC, bookstore Saturday, President Obama spotted a copy of “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd’s new book about his presidency. 
  
 “Oh, Chuck Todd!” Obama exclaimed. “Let’s see what Chuck has to say here!” 
  
 “How is he writing a book already?” asked his 16-year-old daughter, Malia. “Sad.” 
  
 “He’s just sad,” the president joked in response. 
  
 Obama’s off-the-cuff pan was no surprise, considering what Todd thinks of the president. 
  
 The book, titled “The Stranger,” blasts Obama as a flip-flopping policymaker whose detached temperament has prevented him from implementing his ideas. 
  
 It includes what one reviewer called a “stinging indictment” of Obama’s time in the White House and slams the president as unable to fulfill his potential or work with those across the aisle. 
  
 But its author isn’t having any success in Washington, either. 
  
 Todd took the helm of NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sept. 7 aiming to boost the ratings of the languishing Sunday political gabfest. 
  
 An exclusive Obama interview on Todd’s debut show didn’t help. By October, the show’s ratings had hit even lower lows, coming in third behind CBS’ and ABC’s political talk shows. 
  
 Todd’s book didn’t make the cut for Obama’s purchases in the visit to the Politics & Prose Bookstore. 
  
 In all, he put 17 books on his credit card. 
  
 “I hope it works!” he said as he handed the card to the clerk. 
  
 In September, his credit card was declined at the Estela restaurant in Noho, as he dined with First Lady Michelle Obama while visiting the city for the UN General Assembly. 
  
 At the bookstore, Obama made sure to haggle. 
  
 “You from out of town?” one of the bookstore clerks asked. 
  
 “I am,” the president said. “Do I get a discount for that?” 
  
 “Upcharge sometimes,” the clerk joked. 
  
 Luckily for the president, a second clerk stepped in. 
  
 “I think you get the neighbor discount,” the clerk said. 
  
 “The neighbor discount. I’ll take that,” Obama said. 
  
 His credit card worked fine. 
  
 The crowd mostly cheered as Obama and his daughters shopped, though one customer tried to steer the appearance toward politics. 
  
 “When are you going to close Guantanamo?” the person yelled from the crowd. 
  
 The president replied, “We’re working on it. Any other issues?” 
  
 Obama’s purchases included the classic “Heart of Darkness” by Joseph Conrad and newer titles like “Brown Girl Dreaming” by Jacqueline Woodson and “The Laughing Monsters” by Denis Johnson.

 US President Barack Obama's daughters Sasha and Malia have been accused of showing disrespect and lacking "class" by a Republican official after their appearance at a Thanksgiving ceremony. 
  
 Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for congressman Stephen Fincher, made her comments in a Facebook post, since deleted. 
  
 After sharp criticism, Ms Lauten apologised for her "hurtful words". 
  
 She had drawn attention to the short skirts worn by the Obama girls. 
  
 She had also accused the two teenagers of looking bored when they stood with their father at the traditional turkey pardoning event at the White House, when the president spared two birds from the national dinner table.

 While most commentators reported humorously on what they saw as the uninterested expressions of Malia, 16, and Sasha, 13, throughout the ceremony, Ms Lauten was notably more outspoken. 
  
 Her deleted post reads: "Dear Sasha and Malia: I get you're both in those awful teen years, but you're a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play. 
  
 "Then again, your mother and father don't respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter. So I'm guessing you're coming up a little short in the 'good role model' department." 
  
 The post goes on to advise the girls to "rise to the occasion and act like being in the White House matters to you". 
  
 "Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar," she added. 
  
 'Hours of prayer' 
  
 In her apology, Ms Lauten wrote: "After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents, and re-reading my words online I can see more clearly just how hurtful my words were. 
  
 "I'd like to apologise to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words, and I pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience." 
  
 She pointed out that she "had judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager". 
  
 Sasha and Malia are among the youngest presidential children at the White House for years. 
  
 Their parents have strived to protect them from media attention as they go to school, play sports and socialise. ||||| At the 67th anniversary of the National Thanksgiving Turkey presentation on Wednesday, President Obama pardoned two Ohio turkeys that will now live at the home of a former Virginia governor.

 The communications director for a Republican member of Congress ignited a firestorm this weekend after she criticized President Obama’s teenage daughters in a Facebook post that touched a nerve even for Americans accustomed to political mudslinging. 
  
 “Try showing a little class,” Elizabeth Lauten, communications director for Rep. Stephen Lee Fincher (Tenn.), wrote Friday in a Facebook posting addressed to Sasha, 13, and Malia, 16, chastising them for their comportment during last week’s annual turkey pardoning event at the White House. 
  
 “Rise to the occasion. Dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at the bar,” Lauten wrote. “And certainly don’t make faces during televised, public events.” 
  
 Lauten was not the first to comment on the girls’ demeanor at the event, an annual rite that is comfortably embedded in Washington tradition if not universally appreciated. 
  
 After the Wednesday event, several media outlets declared that the young women, standing behind their father as he pardoned two turkeys named Mac and Cheese, looked bored, exasperated or just . . . teenager-ly. USA Today published this headline: “Malia and Sasha Obama are so done with their dad’s turkey pardon,” while the Gawker Web site observed that “not even the pomp and ritual of the White House can overcome the most powerful force known to man: TEEN CONTEMPT.”

 Lauten’s Facebook post was shared on Twitter and then picked up by the blogosphere. Most of the online reaction to Lauten’s comments focused on her characterization of the girls’ appearance and their facial expressions, which was especially surprising given her role as a political communication adviser. Some Twitter users accused her of racial overtones in her comments. 
  
 By Saturday evening, hundreds of people had made use of the #ElizabethLauten hashtag on Twitter. 
  
 “Direct your dislike of their dad’s policies or politics toward their dad. Always leave the kids (D or R) out of it,” wrote one Twitter using the handle @Mica4Life. 
  
 Sasha and Malia Obama are among the youngest presidential children at the White House in years. Their parents have gone to great lengths to shield them from the glare of media attention as they attend school, play sports and socialize under the nose of the Washington press corps. 
  
 Julian Zelizer, a presidential historian and professor at Princeton University, said the U.S. media had generally respected similar efforts by past presidents, including Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton, to keep their children away from the limelight. 
  
 “But in an era of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, this stuff is just hard to control,” he said. And, given the acrimonious nature of Republican dealings with the Democratic president, Zelizer said, “this is low-hanging fruit.” 
  
 In her post, Lauten also took a dig at the president and first lady, saying “your mother and father don’t respect their positions very much, or the nation for that matter, so I’m guessing you’re coming up a little short in the ‘good role model’ department.” 
  
 Hours after the original post, Lauten followed up with a second post apologizing for her critique. “I quickly judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager,” she wrote. 
  
 “After many hours of prayer, talking to my parents, and re-reading my words online I can see more clearly just how hurtful my words were. . . . I pledge to learn and grow (and I assure you I have) from this experience.” 
  
 Lauten declined to comment about the incident, but she did confirm her Facebook postings to The Washington Post. A White House spokesman declined to comment. 
  
 Zelizer said President George W. Bush struggled with some of the same issues, when photos or reports of his daughters Jenna and Barbara partying appeared online. 
  
 “It’s a way to kind of make a statement about who the president is through how the kids are acting,” he said. “It’s not about the kids being insulted. It’s about the president, but it’s obviously frustrating for the president who’s a father.” 
  
 According to her LinkedIn profile, Lauten previously served as press secretary for a Republican representative from Illinois and as a “new media political manager” for the Republican National Committee. Her profile lists “political strategy on social media platforms (particularly Facebook and Twitter)” as among her professional specialties. 
  
 Fincher, a Republican who has been critical of Obama’s executive action on immigration and of the Affordable Care Act, did not make an immediate statement about the incident. ||||| Not even the pomp and ritual of the White House can overcome the most powerful force known to man: TEEN CONTEMPT. 
  
 Today President Obama undertook the White House's stupid traditional Thanksgiving ceremony of "pardoning" a turkey. His daughters Malia and Sasha, 16 and 13, accompanied him. Their barely contained disdain for the production was utterly appropriate and utterly magnificent: 
  
 MSNBC reports: 
  
 When asked by her dad if she would like to pet Cheese the turkey, Malia Obama responded, "Nah." 
  
 DAD. Video below. The first 20 seconds contain among the highest concentration of teen-face seen in the White House since Alice Roosevelt was caught smoking cigs on the roof.

Output:
President Obama trotted out his daughters for the sixth pardon of a turkey of his tenure, and when they, like much of the rest of the nation, appeared bored by the tradition, a congressional aide created a stir by publicly taking offense, reports the Washington Post. In a Facebook post since deleted, Elizabeth Lauten, the communications director for Rep. Stephen Lee Fincher, R-Tenn., wrote: "Dear Sasha and Malia: I get you're both in those awful teen years, but you're a part of the First Family, try showing a little class. At least respect the part you play." She hit Obama and the first lady as "coming up short in the 'good role model' department," then advised the girls to "dress like you deserve respect, not a spot at a bar" and to not "make faces during televised, public events." Lauten's post picked up steam online, inspired much comment via #ElizabethLauten on Twitter, and hours later prompted Lauten to "apologize to all of those who I have hurt and offended with my words." The BBC notes that she went on to say that she "had judged the two young ladies in a way that I would never have wanted to be judged myself as a teenager." The post is "a way to kind of make a statement about who the president is through how the kids are acting," says a presidential historian. Lauten, Fincher, and the White House all declined further comment, notes the Post. Malia Obama got in a little dig at Chuck Todd yesterday in a bookstore, adds the New York Post, calling the fact that he has a book out already "sad."
