'I've been eating': Obama is finishing his waffles ... and pies and cookies

The intrepid Mark Knoller further reports:

At Kretchmar's Bakery in Beaver, PA, Pres Obama orders an apple pie and a dozen chocolate chip cookies. He says campaigns offer good eats.

“I’ve been eating a lot," he said at the last stop, "and people have been commenting I need to gain some weight."

"You’ll be happy to know I been eating," he told supporters who think he's too skinny.

No word yet if he is sharing or redistributing a “piece of the pie.”

Oh, well. As long as he can finish his waffles … and pies and cookies. Isn’t he all that really matters?

For Obama today, "nonsense on TV", politics and his eating habits all have come before jobs mention.

Step in the right direction and doing just fine!

Update:

I think we need a pie and cookie summit.
