Michelle Obama Stops for Pie in Virginia
Yahoo! News/ABC OTUS News ^ | June 7, 2012 | Devin Dwyer

Michelle Obama may be a diehard for healthy eating and exercise, but today on a campaign swing through Virginia she wasn't counting calories.

The first lady made an unannounced stop at Mom's Apple Pie Co., a family-owned bakery in Occoquan, a small town about 23 miles southwest of the White House.

Obama perused the shop's offerings of fresh fruit pies and jams, as well as old-fashioned candies and a collection of wines and beers. "Oh there's wine!" she said walking through the store. "No one told me there was wine!"

Obama also selected two pies from the display case - one apple pie (regular crust, no crumb) and one sour cherry.

"I will be killed if I don't come out of here with pie," she said with a smile, paying cash for both. President Obama is famously a fan of pie. His favorite is reportedly sweet potato.

I don't think she should eat pie - Pass a law.

Aren’t there a lot more calories in pie than in a big soda?

So what you’re saying is that there’s no point in stopping for pie in VA. till stockpiles are replenished?

Figures old sourpuss would buy a sour cherry pie. And since Bambi’s favorite pie is sweet potato, you know she didn’t buy those pies for him.

First, Obama jokes how Michelle won’t go down there, then it turns out she’ll stop for pie.

Interesting.

Um, Michelle, I do believe you need to lay off the pie.

“President Obama is famously a fan of pie. His favorite is reportedly sweet potato.”

OMG, I finally found something with which I agree with the One.
