He’s trying to be Lincolnesque.
Oh my, does he have no respect for Rosa Parks and her great struggle?
Shame on him!
I mean, Gosh he's so humble!
What was I thinking???
“What is the purpose of this train?”
He wants us to think of him as the new Lincoln, and figures, if he takes the same ride Lincoln did, we will believe Hussein is just like Lincoln.
That’s hilarious!
To the back of the train boy.
No Way!
The black man still has to ride in the back?! :)
“Separate but equal” accommodations on the train for the lesser folks ...sounds like segregation to me.
Using a crowbar, I'm guessing? Maybe they sprayed them with cold water...
That is really good!
What a "dumb ass promoting political statement".
That's better. ; )
***He wants us to think of him as the new Lincoln, and figures, if he takes the same ride Lincoln did, we will believe Hussein is just like Lincoln.***
AH HAH! So that’s it. When does he plan to give his Gettysburg Address? Is he writing it while on the train ala Abe?
To wreck and be insured via all paying for the insurance maybe?
very funny! :)
Two-football fields away is still too close for me.
“He wants to think of himself as the new Lincoln....”
How the hell much is that going to cost us?
Purpose? There is no purpose! It's all symbolism. Get used to 4 years of it.
Well, we are headed to the economy (GNP wise) of Lincoln, that's for sure.

What a shock. Maybe we should call it "Battered Press Syndrome," and they keep coming back for more abuse.
From "Obama: From Promise to Power" by David Mendell, pp 352-353 writing about the 2006 Kenya trip:
Arriving back at the Serena Hotel, Gibbs hastily called a news conference in a small courtyard area for the traveling press, mainly so that TV reporters would have informal interview footage of Obama discussing the day's events. As Gibbs scoured the hotel to make sure everyone was aware of the Q&A, Obama made small talk with the reporters, who were anxiously waiting to query him about the wild scenes of the day. After a bit of talk about baseball and music, Obama began to grow impatient, as Gibbs still had not appeared. "Where is Gibbs?" Obama said to no one in particular. "Where is the animal trainer? Where is the whip and chair?" This remark did not go over well with several reporters who frowned at the suggestion that they were, at the very least, uncouth and, at worst, so hopelessly uncivilized that they needed to be tamed....
Obama's privately haughty manner and wary posture toward reporters seems rooted in two things: an internal conceit that formed in his character after being treated as a special human being as far back as childhood, and an understandable* antagonism.
*"Understandable" in the sense of a writer in the tank for Obama, which Mendell, in spite of his attempt at frankness, was and is.
Just close your eyes and imagine transparency.
