Today is President's Day, and with Barack Obama on a roll for the Democratic nomination, it's a great time to ... volunteer on a campaign? educate yourself? read up on your history? Nope. Eat chocolate.
Specifically, check out the delicious espresso-cognac nibble imprinted with Obama's mug, made nearby in Oakland by Cosmic Chocolate (which has one of the coolest websites ever). It's part of Cosmic's "Icons" series, which also includes Oprah (raspberry ganache), Madonna (red-hot cinnamon caramel), Bono (limoncello ginger) and, of course, Snoop Dogg (mint grapefruit).
Obama comes in a little four-pack—two of him, two of Oprah—but with his recent momentum, Cosmic may start packaging him alone, without his superstar endorser. It does seem that change is in the air; at the Slow Food Nation “town hall meeting” held at Civic Center on Friday, Alice Waters spoke about the possibilities of a new regime: “It’s really a special moment in time. My intention is to make a real impression on the next president of the United States. I once had a crazy plan to build a garden on the White House lawn,” she recalled, ready to get back on the horse. Waters envisions our new president as someone “ … who will have a press conference out by the compost pile.”
Oh, that Alice and her crazy schemes. Could Obama really be the one to address the press from the compost pile? We can only hope—and eat.

this is some information how this day has been celebrated.Washington's Birthday, 220-602 braindumps is the official name designated to what many of us know as President's Day. During the month of February the birthday of two of our greatest President's takes place. HP0-J15 braindumps Both George Washington who was born on Feb. 22nd and Abraham Lincoln born on Feb. 12th. However, Washington's birthday has been publicly celebrated since he was in office, 1Y0-A09 braindumps before Abraham Lincoln was even born. Much of the debate over the name of the holiday springs from the fact that state's can follow their own holidays how they see fit and many of them chose to also honor Lincoln, calling the celebration President's Day.
