As Twitchy reported earlier, President Obama went in search of pies and cookies during a Beaver, Pa., campaign stop today.
Staffer Megan Miller confirms: Obama bought an apple pie and chocolate chip cookies from Kretchmar's. We sure could go for some sweets, too!

It turns out he wasn’t just squeezing in a sweet, sweet snack while the first lady wasn’t around. He was also shopping for a Meaty Bone to throw to his loyal media lapdogs.
Here boys! Come and get it!
Pool: “Maybe I’ll get some cookies,” POTUS added. “Press, do you want some cookies?” There was no response from the press.

Oba,a: “Will you consider this a bribe once again?”

Oh, come on. Do they need to be bribed?
Obama: Why don’t we get a dozen chocolate chip cookies and send them on the press bus, and I won’t know if you guys ate them, all right?

Obama offers cookies to press bus, even if reporters might defer: "I know the photographers will eat them. Those guys have no shame."
