Why, it's very similar to mine, however I have never heard of placing it upon rice...but a good slice of yellow cornbread goes nice. One Real Indipendant, not Dem or Rep...simply American*

I've prepared this chili several times and its great. Adjust seasonings to your taste. Adjust your negative comments accordingly. Get Over It!

This chili was delicious and using fresh tomatoes is a great idea.

I have tried this chili and like it very much. Just add a little more spices to your likeing, whats the big problem!!!!!! He made this in COLLEGE!!!!!!!! I think its great that he could cook in college. What did you people eat in college, (the ones that went)maccaroni & cheese, & hot dogs. And get over the fact he is the our next "PRESIDENT" God Bless him.

I loved the chili! We had an election night party with blue corn chips, blue napkins, Obama's chili, Blue Moon beer, and blueberry pie for dessert. Life was good.

Last time I check,the title says Barack Obama Chili. It does not say Tom, Billy or Ashley chili recipe. That means President Obama is sharing his personal recipe and letting you know what works for him, Not how it is done in LA or Texas. If you like it, you like, and if you don't... well you just don't.

I used a can of tomatoes and probably should have drained them. It was still quite good. Needed salt and pepper and should have been simmered at least an hour. Some may want to substitute jalapeno for some of the green pepper. Figuring on an Inauguration Chili Party.

I decided to make mine with bison meat and it turned out awesome!

I'd really just prefer to talk about the chili - no matter whose name is in front of it. i plan on making this for our monday night football party- sounds pretty darn good.

The recipe sounds good and I'll try it the next cold day we get. I voted for Mr. Obama and now feel that we have hope, not only in our country, but in the world.
posted Nov 9th, 2008 2:51 amI did not vote for him because of the party he represents; nor did I vote against him because of the color of his skin. I voted for him because he is obviously highly intelligent, level, calm, thoughtful, and I thought those qualities in our leader would be the most refreshing change that will come about with the change in administrations. It hurt my feelings for him to refer to himself as a "mut". He is far from that.

Being a Texan close to the Mexico, all I can say about this receipe is that it is enough to gag a maggot. Real chili is made from beef with fresh chili pepper pulp, cumin, onion, garlic and red pepper. (NO BEANS). Served with fresh Jalapinos.
