Okay, I couldn't get that Obama link to work - would somebody mind describing it for me?

Thanks!

Yeah, wow.

Susan, the library is the best place to find cookbooks, and IIRC, they have some good veggie ones. It's pretty easy to do -- I periodically give up meat, and was a vegetarian for a time in my teens.

It's Obama's "Yes, we can" speech intercut and set to music with people singing his words. People like Scarlett Johanson & Kareem Abdul Jabaar and lots of other famous faces.

But it's just (a) very inspiring (b) very contemporary and now and hopeful. Particularly after the Bush years. It's like seeing that pinprick of light when you've been trapped in a mine.

if you cannot see it from my link it is up on barackobama.com and youtube.com

Thanks!

I'll see if I can find it again on Monday.

I'll try the library, Plei. I do have the Moosewood Cookbook, though glancing through it, it seems like there are way too many recipes that take more than an hour to work with my lifestyle--my cooking runs to Mark Bittman and the less fussy end of Rachael Ray, because it's *fast*.

There's always grilled cheese or pasta with a quick homemade veggie sauce. Those are already staples, though I tend to throw a little pancetta or prosciutto in the sauce when I have it on hand. But I don't want to live on just two recipes for six weeks.

Despite the catchy video I'm still voting for Hillary.

Obama has done nothing yet. Not at this level.

I don't want somebody going into the White House making new and exciting mistakes because they don't have a grip on the vagaries of foreign policy or freakin' health care plans.

I don't need inspiration. I need competence.

I wonder how much of a factor it is that women will look at Hillary's candidacy and think: "If she doesn't get elected it might be another 20 years before a woman is in the White House." Whereas if Obama loses this primary, he'd be poised to run again. (After he's - you know - actually done something in the Senate.)

What has Hillary done?

Is she entirely too polarizing to build ANY sort of coalitions?
