Axelrod spills secret on the President - He Loves Pie and Cheeseburgers
Obama's senior adviser, David Axelrod, told Jay Leno Friday that the president was forced to "separate" from the White House pastry chef to break his bad eating habits.

"One of the things that happened when he came to the White House is they have a very great pastry chef. It became a big problem," Axelrod confided on "The Tonight Show."

The president, he said, "has a weakness for pie."

The chunky-built Axelrod might just be needling his boss – Obama lectures him about diet, exercise and his "beer gut."

The pie problem didn't come up earlier this year when the 48-year-old president was declared in excellent health by his doctors. An avid basketball player and golfer, it was said he eats modest portions.

Axelrod had a different story: He says the president loves cheeseburgers and pie, hardly health food.

I think we kind of figured that out during the primaries. LOL

1. Comfort food. He is going to need this stuff. However, he does have a great
vegetable garden. I'm a cookie lover. My grandmother and mother made the best cookies.

3. How is this a secret?
We heard about "pie" during the campaign, and we have seen the Prez & Joe hitting various burger joints (Five Guys, Hell Burger, etc.) so it ain't like we didn't already know this.

What are they gonna tell us next? that he likes Chicago style pizza? :evilgrin:

6. Well Let Me Consult My Copy of Rosetta Stone's Avanced Wingut Series...
Ah yes...

"NObama is a hipocrit for telling us Real Amurikans to eat vegatables while eating pie. And anyway the government telling us what to do is SOCULIASM. DO you know who else liked pie? Hitler and Stalin. OMG, THIS IS HUGE. THIS proves NObama is a combination of Hitler and Stalin. SERIES!!!!"

:bounce:

7. Him and the rest of the country!
In fact, if there is anyone who doesn't love cheeseburgers and pie, the Gestapo is going to ask for their papers.

:sarcasm:

At least in Arizona. :(

9. My take is that the Preisident loves
those foods but when he eats them it's moderately and also incorporates healthy food(yum!(I'm serious..it can be very delicious..especially fresh from the garden and a chef like Sam Kass).

And, both the Obamas got to have their BBQ spareribs at 12 Bone Smokehouse in Asheville, North Carolina~

14. I always heard the answer was portion size
You can eat anything you want in moderation.

Sounds like the POTUS has that one down.
