"Biden goes to Costco after executives cozy up to the White House

Vice President Joe Biden made a surprise visit to Costco this morning for the warehouse store’s grand opening in Washington D.C.

According to the White House the Vice President was greeted at Costco by CEO Craig Jelinek and co-founder Jim Sinegal.

The visit is the latest sign of the friendly relationship Costco leaders have with Obama as they have publicly supported Obama’s economic agenda.

Sinegal, Costco’s former CEO, gave a speech praising President Obama at the Democratic National Convention in September.

Sinegal retired as CEO in January, but gradually took a greater interest in Obama’s re-election campaign.

Sinegal hosted a fundraiser for Obama in July at his Seattle area mansion at Hunt’s Point. Tickets for the event ranged from $5,000 to $35,000 and reportedly raised more than $1.4 million.

Sinegal also defended Obama’s record on small business, after the Romney campaign’s ads featuring Obama’s “You didn’t build that” remarks........"

Any chance we can get Biden to come here?

There's a Sams in Billings where we go to Costco, been there, it is not even close, Sam's is nothing but Walmart with bigger packages. Kirkland (store brand at Costco) kicks total ass, Walmart has no answer for it.

They are also way behind the curve on running a hypermarket, which Costco figured out years ago.

It's called "butthurt" and there is a lot of it going around the local coffee shops as well as on all the 24 hr news networks.

The only think good that I have bought with the Kirkland brand name is garbage bags. Fresh food and bulk food are about the same at each in my area. We generally go to Costco a couple times a year anymore, Sam's once every couple years if that. My local stores are more convenient and prices are reasonable due to competition.

Who fucking cares?

That is like saying Macy's is just a K-Mart with another name.

Pays workers great
Low turnover
Low CEO pay
Has happy employees
Has happy customers.


I can see why you don't like them. Costco will be better without you. And will smell better as well.

Not a very good comparison Mr Hyperbole, more like Macy's and Bloomingdales.

Pulls out the old D1B person attack mode of a dying arguement.

And Gil pulls out a D1B reference when his argument has died.

Not even close. One is trash. The other is actually decent

Never been to a Sam's Club..and if it attracts the same kind of people that WalMart does, then, "no thanks".

We were Costco members, but we've got two BJs (one by the sailing club and one near our home)...and frankly, you just can't beat multiple BJs.

I think Costco is a good place to shop, but for the everyday things BJs seems to have better prices and it's just more convenient (BJ's takes MC and VISA)...and Costco is in the damn Christiana Mall (always a traffic nightmare).

I do recall Costco having a better selection of alcohol, but State Line Liquors and Total Wine and Liquor take care of that for me.

BJs has also really picked up on a lot of organic items at great prices in the last two years (our local co-op really can't come close to matching the prices). Still, we visit the co-op (they have a great selection and also host the local farmer's market in their parking lot during the spring-fall), ACME, and BJs for our shopping.

How dare businessmen like the owners of Costco back a socialist/muslim. I mean what are they thinking? They are producers??? Big business never backs Democrats...only poor colored folk do!!!

You've said a mouthful there.

WTF...
Are you absolutely that dense
These two companies share only two things
The size of their buildings - and - the format with which they go to market

Every other thing is completely different about them
Starting with:
Costco has the largest contract Organic Growers in North America / Beef / Eggs / Milk / Fruits / Veggies
Sams Club did not offer Organic foods until this fall
One product / New Zealand Lamb / Non-U.S. product

Costco shits all over Sam's. It's not even fair to try and compare Sam's to Costco.

Same thing as rubes saying "I won't watch (Affleck or Depp or Baldwin or Pitt or Clooney's, etc) movie. Just purely retarded.

Which attracts lots of liberal yuppies & granola types. That would partially explain Costco being big time donk backers.

Sorry, I don't really care about the debate of Organic Chemical and man-made chemical raised foods. I'm not saying Costco is bad and Sam's is good (same with Organic chemical vs Man-made chemical), as most of you are taking this. I'm saying they are very similar. If it's that important to you that Costco is better than Sam's then more power to you.

Do you lock your car door when they walk by?
