Roanoke TimesRadford bakery that turned Biden away sells out of 'freedom cookies'
RADFORD — An Ohio man’s interaction with candidate Barack Obama in 2008 gave rise to “Joe the Plumber.”
Now, a Radford businessman’s decision not to host an “unscheduled” campaign event with Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday has sparked a news story that’s gone viral and led to a surge in business.
McMurray politely declined out of a difference in politics, and Biden instead went up the street to the River Street Grill instead.
At noon, McMurray turned down an interview request because he was too busy fielding a steady stream of orders, both from customers at the store and out-of-state patrons. A little more than an hour later, he closed the store because it had run out of cookie dough. It reopened a few minutes later, but with a sign in the window noting that only ice cream was being sold.
“It’s been a great day, a lot of great support,” McMurray said when he had a moment to talk. “A lot of folks are calling orders from out of state for local businesses and charities. That’s what we’ve got to catch up on.”
McMurray said the exchange with the Biden advance team had taken place just after he opened the store at 10 a.m.
“They said, ‘This is a place that we’ve identified for Mr. Biden’s stop,’ and they asked permission, if that would be OK,” McMurray said. “After much thought, I respectively declined. The exchange was very kind. It wasn’t at all heated. It was not at all hoarse. Even when she departed, it wasn’t at all ill-mannered. They were very nice. I told her no offense to the vice president, and she received that. We just had a difference of opinion politically.”
McMurray said that “convictions about my faith” factored into his decision not to host Biden. On a wall at the back of the bakery is painted this slogan, “Family: One of God’s masterpieces.”The other reason that McMurray declined was President Obama’s attitude toward business.
WDBJ 7Here's the back story, we’re told that shortly after Crumb and Get It told Biden’s advance people 'no' -- the secret service walked in and told Chris McMurray ''Thanks for standing up and saying 'no' -- then they bought a whole bunch of cookies and cupcakes.McMurray said he's hoping folks will understand he just didn't want to be part of a photo op for an administration whose policies he doesn’t agree with.

The liberal media asked if it was time for the Dems to change up their ticket because of the imcompetence displayed on the campaign trail. Joe Biden responded: "It just wouldn't be fair to Barack to let him go."

It was a lighthearted and humorous attempt to comply with the request of the governor of Mississippi and "say it right" while he was addressing the citizens of his State. Unlike Obama, or Biden for that matter, his diction throughout the speech wasn't altered in a feigned attempt to present himself as being something that he isn't. Notice the diction of Biden throughout his speech, particularly after his "chain" remark. Trying for a "Bill Clinton" sound perhaps?Something the Dog Said wrote:

Printsmith, you still owe the readers of this forum an apology for your lie that VP Biden said that Romney will put blacks in chains.PrintSmith wrote:
