Uh Oh....First blowup with Obama and Biden......They disagree on Corn

[Thrill]

Obama and Biden disagree -- on corn


MARENGO, Ohio — Barack Obama and Joe Biden survived their first public spat as running mates today.

In this 297-person town north of Columbus, the Democratic ticket for president stopped at a church-run farm stand to buy produce. But when each started claiming their home states’ supremacy, the jibing brought laughs.

“I used to think the South Jersey corn is ... the best corn,” said Biden, a U.S. senator from Delaware. “John Glenn says that’s not true.”

“Ohio is known nationwide,” said Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland, standing with the group buying corn from the back of a box truck.

“Illinois has a little corn,” Obama said of his home state. “I just want to make sure you know that.”

“Ah, that’s for hogs,” Strickland chimed in with a chuckle.

“Sherrod Brown tells me the ice cream and the peaches and the corn are the best in Ohio. I didn’t know that,” Biden said, noting the U.S. senator also traveling with the campaign on a bus tour that in coming days will take the pair to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan.

“Don’t let anybody in South Jersey know I’m buying this corn,” Biden said.

I grew up in South Jersey, and frankly, I have to question Obama's judgment if he doesn't think South Jersey has the best corn in the country.
