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.

Anytime we look, she isn't counting calories. This isn't really an exception. It'd be as if Nancy Reagan had been publicly doing lines of coke between cutting 'Just Say No' PSAs.

Which is why we don't take you seriously, Michelle. You tell us what to do- then constantly demonstrate that you don't follow your own advice.

That said- I ride past Occoquan twice every day and pie shops are automatically worth investigating, since I have a deep-rooted and incurable addiction to good Dutch Apple pie.

The older daughter has adopted the haughty nasty look of her mother.

The younger still has some joy in her face. I hope she keeps it

It must be a strange life being continually taught that you are heavily discriminated against and need to hold a grudge against white America

while attending a 35 grand a year elementary school and living like a potentate

“President Obama is famously a fan of pie”

Now they’re both speaking double entendre.

Good catch. I wonder how much of that haul made it back to the White House?

Earlier in the day, Obama held a rally for her husband's re-election campaign at VFW Post 1503 in Dale City.

That's a couple miles from my home. If it was packed for the occasion, I don't see how they could fit more than a thousand people there. And that's high-balling it. The traffic would've been a nightmare.

I was on I-95 south and saw the FLOTUS motorcade heading north. Two huge Mercedes Benz RV’s and about 15 escalades. All black in color. I am sure the mini gun SUV was in the parade.

That's close to my home, too. Now I know why traffic was evil this afternoon on Minnieville Road.
