Barack Obama, addressing supporters in Chicago on the night he won the election:

“The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even in one term, but America, I have never been more hopefully than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you: We as a people will get there.”

This really is a coupling of two topics that brings me joy. Pres elect Barack Obama and pancakes. Shot in 2001 for a Chicago show called, “Check, Please!” here is a clip with the then Illinois senator critiquing several local restaurants. The previously unaired episode will finally first see the light of day on January 16th with additional airings slated for the 18th and on inauguration day. Ads for local station WWTTW (home to the show) must be, ahem, selling like HOTCAKES. Or um flapjacks.
