Obama: I'll try that cheesesteak next time

Sen. Barack Obama sampled $100 ham, but didn't chow down on a cheesesteak during a visit to the Italian Market yesterday.
During a half-hour tour of the market, Obama sampled wares at Claudio Specialty Food and DiBruno Brothers - where he noshed on a Spanish ham that retails for $99.99 a pound.
Staff at DiBruno's told him the ham only recently became available because it was previously barred by the FDA.
"All I know is it tastes good," Obama said. As good as whiz with onions?
In fact, neither Obama nor Sen. Hillary Clinton, his rival for the Democratic presidential nomination, has made the traditional stop at South Philly cheesesteak establishments Pat's or Geno's.
But Obama last night told a crowd of supporters gathered at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, "I'm going to get a cheesesteak the next time I come."
Clinton spokesman Mark Nevins said he wanted her "to have an opportunity to visit the Philadelphia landmarks, including the great cheesesteak places."
Are cheesesteak stops more risky today than in the past?
Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., was mocked for ordering his sandwich with swiss cheese during his 2004 run for president.

que the pic of kerry eating the his wit lettuce and tomatoes...
ah, 99.99 a pound...
a man of the people
Well he couldn’t turn down the Cheesesteak for health reasons, what with him smoking and all.
Trying to shed his Muslim problem by eating extremely expensive ham (sure to make the news) and not eating a cheesesteak. Its all very calculated.
and asking for Swiss cheese
Not a very good Muslim. What's Allah going to say?
With debate going on about whether Obama is a muslim - could it be that he chose ham to make a point...or just cause he likes ham!!
Too bad there weren't some pork chops on the menu!!
“Sen. Barack Obama sampled $100 ham
Not a very good Muslim. What’s Allah going to say?”
Not to mention attending a Christian church.
I guess he didn’t want to eat “prole” food with a bunch of honkies. What kind of poltroon goes to Philly and skips a cheesesteak?
Seriously, if you buy ham for $100.00 per pound, it had better come with a redhead and some beer.
Obama told him: "You need a new president, somebody who is going to get the economy in shape."
Yeah...right. Previous statements by Obama show me that he has no clue how the economy works. His latest TV ad filmed in an abandoned steel mill proves that to me. Using the tax code to protect an inefficient industry and a few thousand workers by raising product prices to hundreds of millions of consumers is typical special interest favors doled out by politicians. Obama...you're an economic hack.
What is “Whiz”?
WWAD?
“Trying to shed his Muslim problem by eating extremely expensive ham (sure to make the news) and not eating a cheesesteak. Its all very calculated.”
My thoughts exactly!
It sure sounds calculated. Eat a bite of ham to dispel the rumors, avoid Geno’s controversy. I wonder if it was a taqiyya sandwich?
Chowing down on $99.99/lb. ham... is this Barack’s way of “proving” he’s no Muslim?
