Obama buys pumpkins during surprise farmer's market visit

By Geneva Sands - 10/19/11 04:22 PM ET

President Obama and the First Lady Michelle Obama purchased pumpkins in a surprise visit to a Virginia farmer's market Wednesday.

The Obamas stopped at the store on their way back from a stop on the president's bus tour, where they delivered joint remarks promoting his jobs plan.

You can see the president talking with staff and patrons throughout the market.

The first couple reportedly bought 70 pounds worth of pumpkins, including two, giant, white gourds called "full moon" pumpkins, according to CBS News.

"You know we are going to have these in front of the White House. These two white ones. That's what the first lady just decided and I do what she says," said Obama.

While paying for the pumpkins Obama promised to send a picture of the gourds at the White House.
