White House pastry chef adds crack to pies

[bit_pattern]

At a reception yesterday, President Obama said goodbye to the White House executive pastry chef, who is leaving after seven years on the job. Bill Yosses's pies were so good that Obama said his cholesterol shot up, a likely consequence of eating too much pie. The first family even deemed Yosses the "crustmaster." But some think Obama may have gone a bit too far while heaping on the praise for the baked goods.

"I don't know what he does, whether he puts crack in them, or ... " Obama said, trailing off.

Michelle Obama made a face. "No, he doesn't," she said. "There is no crack in our pies."

There was, of course, plenty of reaction to Obama's cringeworthy quip.

The video footage is very LOL-worthy

'Cringeworthy' comes to mind in reading the reaction/responses!
Some people don't have much of a sense of humour; I like seeing the POTUS in jokey-mode. Regardless of what I think of his politics or how good a job he's done.
He's much better at it than any predecessor that comes to mind; Dubya in particular. I mean, that guy was funny but not ha-ha funny.

^ I am with you on that one.
Better to see the prez telling jokes than being a joke.
