Un-Fk-Believable! First he allowed Obama to pick the version to 'recite' to pass it as the Gettysburg Address on the 150th anniversary, now this pathetic excuse.

And the people used to have a special treatment for such tools.

From now on, I will call him "Which Version? Ken".

Learn that bangs on middle-aged men are ridiculous, Ken.

I’d rather learn the words of James Stockdale and Rudyard Kipling by heart.

Not sure if he did the Lincoln At Gettysburg film on PBS last night but it was pretty good. Except for the part where Lincoln wrote his address. My understanding is he wrote it on the back of an envelope rather than penning it on two pages on a train (that wasn’t rockin’ and rollin’) and herniating over each word or phrase.

Ironically, the narrator in the Ken Burns series did not recite the Gettysburg Address correctly—there were several minor deviations from the text. Maybe the narrator had memorized it once upon a time and didn’t have the text in front of him.

“...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”

No more hypocritical words ever spoken by a sitting president considering what he was doing at the time.
