"Sales have been off the charts, and it has been ever since President Obama took an interest in helping to promote our specialty goods ," Brandy Arms, the owner of one of the specialty retail stores said. "We have no inventory left." The store normally displays between 30 and 40 different kinds of goods, but by last Monday her supply goods had dwindled to one, Arms said.

Other stores contacted by The People's Post on Wednesday repeated the same thing: They were swamped with customers and that the customers continue to flock to their doors. Some stores are now resorting to using their websites and answering machines to make out-of-stock announcements. "It's just a zoo in here," said Patrick Henry, the owner of one of the specialty retail shops contacted.

The President's plan was unique in that it did not feature a Government bail-out or a taxpayer backed loan that were the central features of the President's previous economic initiatives. The White House stated that it was experimenting with a limited free market approach to evaluate its long term effects.

As far as the short term effects though they have been huge and the owners of the shops all agreed they owed the fact that business is now booming all to President Obama and were quite effusive in their praise and gratitude. One owner summed it up this way, "I never would have guessed in a million years that opening up my little gun shop all those years ago, that it would now really turn out to be so darn profitable, and to think I owe it all to President Obama and his 23 points!".
