Obama's doing the pie thing again.

[Chichiri]

Right now in St. Louis.

Gotta love the guy.

1. What's the "pie thing"?

[Connie_Corleone]

3. He keeps telling this pie story. He likes pie. He had pie in Ohio

The Ohio governor had lemon meringue pie. Obama likes sweet potato pie. He likes pecan pie too. The diner only had coconut cream pie. So he got that. He likes coconut cream pie. LOL!!

[Liberal_in_LA]

4. OH... Ok.

[yardwork]

9. You have to understand the midwest. Pie rules there.

Pie is practically sacred to the midwest. It's a midwest thing. When Obama talks about loving pie, it's a dog whistle to the folks in the midwestern states. This guy loves pie! He's one of us!

[MuseRider]

10. It is?

I was born and raised smack in the middle of the midwest and have never heard of that. Wow.

[yardwork]

30. Where were you raised? It's a rural thing. Especially in Iowa.

One of my work colleagues went to a wedding shower for her niece in Iowa and all they served was pie. Twelve different kinds of pie.

[salbi]

40. I'm from Chicago, we LOVE pie!

The Baker's Square restaurant by me is always crowded

[chiefofclarinet]

41. It's especially bad in my family

For every birthday that I remember, my parents got me a birthday PIE instead of a cake. Now that I'm in college, I still get pie for my birthday. Fortunately, as the previous poster implies, we Iowans have an obsession about pie.

It's not that I particularly hate cake, it is just that most cakes have absolutely no taste. I will eat carrot and pumpkin cake, though.

15. We like pie in CA also.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

24. Link?

44. lol!

23. Pie's soulfood and comfort food and

I'm imagining that he's digging on Comfort food talk!

[Frank Booth]

25. Uhhh.... ok.

[Bill McBlueState]

32. I thought pie ruled everywhere!

Are there parts of the country where pie is unwelcome?

[npincus]

6. and?

[Connie_Corleone]

7. And what? It's a running joke.

Rachel showed a video on her show where it counted the number of times he said pie in that story.

[rvablue]

27. And: Pie isn't cake, which is what McCain and Palin are trying to feed us!! n/t

[AlCzervik]

2. I just bought a mini lemon meringue pie, my favorite right up there with sweet potato.

[emulatorloo]

[goclark]

43. That sounds yummy!

[MUAD_DIB]

14. I made Pumpkin pie whilse watching the last debate.

New Englanders love pie too.


Then I shouted at crazy-eyed McCain.

[Marnieworld]

16. I love when he talks about pie

I have no idea why but it tickles me so. I only saw it on Rachel Maddow when they had a pie icons to represent how many times he said the word pie. The guy is just likable. I can't imagine someone not liking him. I'd love to make him a pie.

[vanderBeth]

17. Now I'm thinking about making a pecan pie.

*drools*

[K Gardner]

19. Damn.. I might have to run to Krogers for one. There goes an inch to my waist!

[Faygo Kid]

20. Mmmmm. Send one this way. My favorite.

MMMM. Pie.

[PolNewf]

18. Pie >>>> Cake!!!! n/t

26. Pie's bad for your teeth.

[Jennicut]

29. Not the sugar free kind.

I eat sugar free pie as a diabetic. Its still pretty yummy.

[yardwork]

31. Pie's bad for every part of your body! But it's one of the few things that is worth it.

[mamalone]

38. Not your heart!

A little pie is very good for the heart, O yeah!:loveya:

[noel711]

28. He started this 'pie' routine in North Philly...

and the crowd ate it up.
He had dozens of ladies pledging to bake him
a 'sweet potato pie, because I know good sweet
potato pie.' Sweet Potato pie is a soul food
classic, and is along the line of pumpkin pie,
but lighter in texture and a wonder delicacy.

Something tells me that come Thanksgiving,
the Obamas are gonna be swamped with
sweet potato pie for their family dinner.

And I think all of us should express our
thanks.. and have a sweet potato pie on
our Thanksgiving tables in honor of our
new president.

[Bubbha Jo]

34. Three little freepers, They lost their leaders, And they began to cry,

Oh, mother dear,
We sadly fear
Our leaders we have lost.
What! Lost your leaders,
You naughty freepers!
Then you shall have no pie.
Mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow, mee-ow.
You shall have no pie...

Everyone put pie on your dinner list for Nov 4th!

[paregdem]

36. Love This Bubbha Jo!!!

It's chanty and sing-songy and PERFECT!

You naughty freepers! :rofl:

[Phoonzang]

37. Pie sucks. He should talk about Cheese. I like cheese.

:)

[mamalone]

39. You know what my old Grampa used to say?

Apple pie without some cheese,
is like a kiss without a squeeze!

So you see, pie and cheese are both great, and even greater together;)

[Hieronymus]

42. His audience loves it .. everyone loves pie.
