Well I liked the recipe. He did not have to share. Now I've got one more recipe for my file. He's a busy man now and doesn't have to cook. Thanks for sharing

I think he better stay in politics. I think he may make a fine President , And as far as "Poconopete" a respectable chili has NO BEANS in it. Any chili containing beans is "Yankee Chili". Now , I am not saying its wrong to put what in ever you want and call it chili. But I am saying its wrong to say its not ! And what would a McCainiac know about "Chili anyway ? Now go eat your "Chicken manure" and simmer down..............Now !!

This is yankee chili. Real chili has no beans of any kind. Beans is just filler.

I really like the chili. He used to cook it for me before I went out on my, uh, little trips I used to take. It gave me a lot of energy to run from the police.

If President Obama can survive THAT recipe, he should be able to survive anything! Although, it DOES sound very Presidential.

I didn't really try it, but from reading it, it seems he's just not qualified to cook chili. I've cooked chili in 75 countries, even under sniper fire!

I have tried it, it's almost like my own chili. I make mine with beef or deer meat and put in 1/2 of a beer.
