"To make a long story short, Obama confronts a die-hard Republican owner of the diner where they stop off, and persuades him to vote for the Democrats," reads the story. In a 90-second news clip that aired on a local Philadelphia station, Obama says "You going to make me some pie? What kind of pie do you make? Sweet potato pie? All right. We might have to have a sweet potato pie contest. I'll be the judge. 'Cause I know my sweet potato pie."
