She was also ecstatic that he could pronounce vegan.

Some other points in the Obama speech included more preventative measures to address the health care crisis, such as changing Americas eating habits and he said schools need more fruits and vegetables versus pre-packaged food and meat products.
The story, at Vegan.com, ends with the blogger wondering how McCain would pronounce vegan.
