(or any philadelphian who votes for obama should be drowned in swiss cheese)

At least John Kerry had the right idea to pander in Philadelphia. Yeah, he ordered his cheesesteak with SWISS cheese (shudder) and ate it like his charm school teachers showed him and the other girls how. But at least he gave it the old elementary-school try.

Barack Obama didn’t even do that:

Sen. Barack Obama sampled $100 [per pound] ham, but didn’t chow down on a cheesesteak during a visit to the Italian Market yesterday.

Yeah, ’cause nothing says pleasing the blue-collar Philly crowd like munching on insanely-expensive foreign ham.

By the way, before the hordes of Hillary Clinton supporters that read this blog get excited, she hasn’t been to Pat’s or Geno’s either.

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.”

What? You mean you’re stupid enough to come back to this city?
