First Lady Michelle Obama is saying 'let's eat!' this Thanksgiving, offering up a choice of nine pies for the food fest which should satisfy the pie-loving President.

President Obama's favorite pie is a topic that has been up for debate during his presidency.
Some media outlets report he has a fondness for sweet potato pie, but others claim coconut cream is his true heart's desire. Yet others point to apple and Boston cream pies as Obama's top preferences.

His college roommate from Occidental College, Paul Carpenter, said in 2012 that Obama joined the Carpenter clan for Thanksgiving in 1983 and the future President declared the Carpenter family's coconut chiffon pumpkin pie was his favorite.
With nine pies available at the 2013 feast, the President should be satisfied.
