Gee, I was so special, staying home.

Nope. I stayed home and watched football for 3 days. There´s no way in hell I´m shopping the weekend after Thanksgiving....none.

Headline: (but hardly news):

"CNN full of molasses"

Nope, went to work for the 5th day. Off Saturday to go to the OSU/Mich game and then working for the next 15-18 days-in-a-row.

Fa-la-la-la-la Fooey.

So this means either one of two things: People are excited about the coming fiscal cliff and Obama solving the problems or; People are scared as hell and want to get some good deals before inflation hits, more unemployment occurs, and stores are boarded up!

Stayed home and shopped online. And also, spent quality time with my family.

This does include online shopping. How about those who saw commercials and witnessed advertisements on billboards/radio? Silly reporting

Not me or my family. Wouldn´t be caught dead with those fanatics.

Really? Gee, I could have sworn I spent the day napping, eating turkey sandwiches and watching TV. I must have been mistaken.

Or...could CNN be prevaricating????

The only thing I`m shopping for this year are some sane conservative politicians but I have not been able to locate any.....

Another, ´the economy is really improving´, message from the ´truth-tellers´. (s/o)

I REALLY hate it when the MSM tells me what I did. Not one person in my family stepped foot in a store to shop over Thanksgiving. NOT ONE. Another example of ridiculous , inaccurate reporting.

IOw, everyone who voted for Obama was out there.

Probably a data error. I think they meant the
47M people that Romney was talking about, who pay no Fed Income tax. They have some money left over for shopping.

Wouldn´t be caught dead with those fanatics.

Wouldn´t be caught dead.

Who´s the fanatic?

This ´survey´ includes those who visited ´websites´ and could even include news sites. That means us, I guess. All us LDotters went shopping this weekend and didn´t even know it.

Wonder what the spin will be when we crash back into a real depression.

Pas moi.

This is marketing BS, pure and simple.

If buying gasoline and dining at a restaurant counts, then I went shopping.

Then, what does that make me? I am an adult and I didn´t go shopping. Neither did any of the other adults I was with go shopping. What else is CNN saying?

So, if you went to the mall and shopped at the toy store, the book store, the coffeeshop, the discount sweater place and the food court - it counts as 5 people.

Out of my family of five, only one went into a store to do shopping, (one of my kids works in a store), and all she bought was a cough medication since she had a cold. Yes, I went to some online stores to look at things but didn´t buy anything. We are definitely spending much less here this Christmas as we await the giant tax hike of the fiscal cliff.

I didn´t. My family didn´t. Most of my friends didn´t. CNN is not a news source.

If every single adult in Philadelphia can vote for Obama, why can´t all adults in America go shopping on Black Friday weekend?

I believe it, that every (liberal) person went shopping on Black Friday: none of them had jobs to go to, they got to push people around, and they got merchandise at cut-rate prices, that some of them can re-sell, at inflated prices, on e-bay.

Those at CNN who arrived at the figures in this article, are the same people who poll would-be voters and count their votes. If a shopper visited 5 stores, he was counted 5 times. Makes perfect sense.

Not anyone I knew.
And our family stayed home and played Rummicub, Scrabble and 20 Questions. Great family day.
I can´t imagine going shopping on black Friday.
I hate shopping anyway and it would be akin to the 7th circle of Hell to go out on Friday.

My entire family of 9 (counting daughter- & son-in-laws), extended (Aunt & niece), foreign-exchange student & new friend, best friend, her hubby & her three sons -- makes 18 that I know for a fact did not shop on black friday, in person or internet.

CNN: Cover for the magic Negro Never-ending.

I got home Wed. about 3:45 and didn´t leave again until 6:45 this morning. I didn´t spend a dime.

I went to Jiffy Lube and got my truck serviced. Does that count as Shopping?

I bought two batteries at Radio Shack.

I guess I single-handedly saved the electronics sector from going under due to ObamaCare. Neat! /s

No shopping for me since last tuesday.
How many adults voted in this last election? And, although my husband earns a good salary, he has just about ruled out a merry christmas for us based on the economic outlook in general. What the heck were these people thinking?

Isn´t CNN the thoroughly discredited "News Network" that no one watches any more?

Due to the twisted stories or outright lies, and covering up of Obama´s lies, by Soladad O´Brien and Anderson Cooper, people have abandoned CNN by the thousands. The TV rating services have them at the bottom of all networks. Those left watching are considered as gullible androids and undependable to know any truth whatsoever.

Correction #34...should be Soledad.

Another lie, which CNN is famous for.

I didn´t need anything. So I stayed home. As an Ldotter put it, "God knows I have enough stuff." Does that make me a bad example?

We didn´t, we celebrated Thanksgiving late.

Like Obama got 100% of the vote in racist Filthydelphia and Cleveland.

It´s reassuring that America still has some adults.

Stayed Home. Didnt care.

I shopped on Small Business Saturday and bought something I actually needed. American Express credited me $25 for shopping so I was out about $20. Somehow I don´t think that was much of an indicator of a recovery.
