The Messiah now thinks he's Abraham Lincoln, never mind the fact that Lincoln started his 1861 trip to Washington, DC from Springfield, Illinois.

They did send a nice Christmas card

President-elect Barack Obama will board a train in a month and retrace Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural journey to Washington, D.C.,

But why? If BO ever studied Lincoln he'd know Lincoln considered blacks inferior. These people get more bizzare by the day.

"My friends, no one, not in my situation, can appreciate my feeling of sadness at this parting. To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything. Here I have lived a quarter of a century, and have passed from a young to an old man. Here my children have been born, and one is buried. I now leave, not knowing when, or whether ever, I may return, with a task before me greater than that which rested upon Washington. Without the assistance of the Divine Being who ever attended him, I cannot succeed. With that assistance I cannot fail. Trusting in Him who can go with me, and remain with you, and be everywhere for good, let us confidently hope that all will yet be well. To His care commending you, as I hope in your prayers you will commend me, I bid you an affectionate farewell."

Do you think Obama could get through a speech like that without a bunch of 'ums' mixed in.

And Lincoln snuck into DC in disguise. I suggest a Dumbo Halloween outfit.

And he will take the oath on the Bible Lincoln used for his second inauguration.

A few crisis and four years of dealing with Congress and Obama is going to be a dead-ringer for Morgan Freeman in four years.

Will it be worth it to him?

[Alter Kaker]

This is bizarre. Lincoln, in 1861, included a stop in Baltimore. There, he was nearly assassinated.

[PAR35]

and a stop in Baltimore for an unspecified event.

Does the 'unspecified event' involve facing Mecca?

We need to get a billboard along the way......
