President Obama pushed back on criticism of his recent appearance with comedian Zach Galifianakis to promote the Affordable Care Act, noting that President Lincoln "loved telling the occasional bawdy joke."

Obama wouldn’t be capable of tying Lincoln’s shoe laces.
Doing a comedy/infomercial with an elite Hollywood movie star is Barry’s idea of being “out among regular folks,”

John Wilkes Booth also shot him in self defense because Abe Lincoln had a time machine.
Barky being so much like Lincoln and all. :=) Snicker
Man’s a fool.
Don’t care if saying it’s a sin....
Can you see that affirmative action Kenyan phony writing the Gettysburg Address? He couldn’t even correctly punctuate it, much less write it or understand it. How dare he compare himself to Lincoln in any way.
Does this guy ever stop being an idiot?
Unpossible !!
Actually, Lincoln was known for enjoying “ethnic” jokes. There’s a reason his favorite song was “Dixie.”
