This might happen more than you think from both political parties, most businesses just don't talk about it. The owner of "Crumb and Get It" - did.

Chris McMurray's bakery has been open only since May, barely three months.

Wednesday morning, advance teams for Vice President Joe Biden walked in.

"I approached her she said Joe Biden is coming to town today," McMurray said.

"Crumb and Get It" is a mom and pop store. Literally. Chris and his wife Kelly run the place and need all the business they can get.

McMurray said the Vice President's entourage got to the point and made its pitch.

"She said they have selected 'Crumb and Get It" to be his stop on his way to Blacksburg and was wondering if that was ok."

Here's the part that might make other business owners crazy.

"This is an opportunity of a lifetime but essentially I said 'No offense to you or the campaign but I just decline you guys coming in here. At that time she said 'Are you sure? There's going to be a lot of press, a lot of activity,’" McMurray said.

Why in the world would a new business owner say "no" to a photo op with the Vice President of the United States?

McMurray said it was President Obama's recent remarks about small business and who built what.

"Very simply, ‘you didn't build that’” McMurray said. “Speaking of small businesses and entrepreneurs all across this country and actually last night my wife was up all night. No sleep, she's worked a full 24 hours."

When "Crumb and Get It" said 'no', “River City Grill,” just around the corner, said 'yes' and has the pictures to prove it, and didn't care about the politics.

"If you want to throw in some libertarians as well that's fine too. Stop in as well,” Chris Bell said. “Just bring your money. Sure, right!

Back at the bakery, a couple of guys said they'd hoped to see Biden and didn't care that the VP had been turned away.

"I mean it really doesn't matter to me. Everyone has their own views so I love the food here anyway. I agree. Everybody's different so I could care less," said Spenser Critterton of Radford.

Here'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.

Bet that stings for leftwingers

Can you imagine the look on Biden's face when he was told somebody dared to say NO.

Maybe if a few more small business owners said no to the Obama Administration while out on the Campaign trail he would get the idea that his policies are not working quite as good as he would have his koolaid drinking followers believe to save his butt in the Nov election.

SAY NO Say H*LL NO If they ask to use you for a photo op. so they can get re-elected and further destroy the US with their leftwing RACISTS Spread the wealth CRAP.

How long until this business is attacked violently by OWS or other obama supporters.


They will try to silence this guy, as they do others that disagree with them.

If this was in Montana, OT would probably be accusing this guy of sexually harrassing his customers.

I would have love to see what Michelle Obama thought when she heard that the Secret Service Guys that guard Biden, went back into the bakery and bought up a bunch of goodies for the road. We all know how she wants everyone to cut out sweets and to have the Secret Service thumbing their nose at Biden and the Obamas by stocking up is just plain SWEEETTTTTTTT :lol:
