People please...it's just a recipe. Call it stew if you prefer, this person calls it chili. Why so angry? It's just a name. As for the politics, unless I am mistaken we live in a democracy and the election of our President is part of that right. We have a choice, we voice that choice by the very rights we are given. Let's try living in a place like Haiti or one of the many countries where there are NO CHOICES, then let's hear some complaining. Till then, it was fair, square and legal. Not everyone will be happy, not everyone will get what they want. It's part of living in a place where at least there ARE choices. Just like recipes....everyone has a favorite and we don't always like someone else's. So try the recipe or don't, just another CHOICE.

Thoughtful of our next Prez to share his recipe.....it was excellent....not 5 alarm, but excellent! For those of you that are not in favor of our new Prez, go eat a bucket of your own 5 alarm chilli and lock yourselves in the bathroom.....it is about the only respectible place for you!!!!!!!!! The man has not even taken office yet, but is working his butt off to try to fix the pile of crap that he is walking into.....ya gotta give him credit for even wanting this God forsaken job......I have total faith in him and wish him best of luck and lots of support for a rough road ahead.....GoBama!!!!! YES WE CAN!!! YES YOU CAN!!!! And thank you and God Bless!!!

Being Canadian, I would like to comment on ALL of political comment blogs. This is just a receipe, get it ? just a receipe. If you don't like the ingredients, change it to your own liking by adding your own ingredients, but please do not add your political comments about a man who simply has a receipe to share with you. What in heavens do you people complain so much and why. It is JUST a receipe, if you have tried it, then comment on it, don't debate of where it came from, your president is just a man with a job to do, help him with positive comments, again, he is just sharing his receipe with you. ITs just a RECEIPE.

This recipe is a lot of talk about nothing..... Just because you can talk a lot about nothing doesn't mean you can cook chili. Sara Palin please come and save this country!!!

Some people really do need to get a life. America voted for this president and he's been elected. Perhaps if you don't like it yoou could move to another country. By the way I'll be trying the recipe next week.

The chili was awesome. But democrats, reps aren't the only ones out of line on this website. I voted for Obama and God Bless Him that we won. But slamming reps (even though I agree with much of what you said) just puts you on par with them. Your no better if your fighting. Stick to the chili topic. Politics are for Washington.

Change We Got
