In what will be a Lincoln-themed inauguration from top to bottom, Obama won't only follow in the footsteps of the former president - he'll also eat like him, it was announced yesterday.

Obama's jampacked Abe-apalooza moved into high gear with an announcement from the Congressional Inaugural Committee that it will hold a luncheon next Tuesday following the swearing-in ceremony that's modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed.

More like harkening back to Chicago thuggery.

Boy, is that politically incorrect! Do you think “O” has ever read it?

[Niuhuru]

LINCOLN CAME FROM THIS COUNTRY AND CAME FROM SOMETHING OTHER THAN THE PRESS!!!

I yearn for the days for presidents who truly came from the people. They were the ones who genuinely cared about the people and were indisputably qualified and knew how real people lived.

I adore President Bush, but there’s a disconnect between Washington and with the liberal elites as the Mandarin class, it’s preventing the change we need.

At this point a revolt has to happen and hopefully we’ll go back to the values that kept the country on top.

Can anyone say "overreaching"?

It could be much worse. He could have chosen to ride into Washington upon a donkey.

Well, “The One” DID get 95% of the Negro vote, 78% of the Jewish vote and 67% of the Latino vote.

Well... I feel sorry for the 5% who undoubtedly feel victimized by all of this!

Zero is reminding everybody that they were slaves. Meanwhile, H.R. 40, the commission to study slavery reparations, is ready and waiting in the House of Representatives.

Ever since reading this, a lyric from The Wizard of Oz has been rattling around in my head.
If I only got to thinkin',
I could be another Lincoln
If I only had a brain

Of course the Ray Bolger character had a lot more going for him

[Cacique]

Will they ever point out that Lincoln was a republican? Nah....

[potlatch]

Naaa, he can go in style and borrow my '57 Lincoln MarkII.

“You can put lipstick on a pig, but...”

[South40]

Can someone tell this dumbass O that Lincoln was a Republican?

Meanwhile, H.R. 40, the commission to study slavery reparations, is ready and waiting in the House of Representatives.

Good point, and we can never pay them enough in reparations or food stamps... //sarcasm off

[Sender]

does it ever dawn on “the One” that Lincoln was a Republican?

PEBO is aware that Lincoln was a Republican; he hopes to use that as a "bridge" across the great divide to the GOP side he needs.

He is hoping that no one knows that the Democrats were the slave owners who would never consider allowing black people freedom.

[pgkdan]

Great. If we’re going to inaugurate a new Lincoln I want to secede again!

[Starfleet Command]

One thing you can say about the one, he never has a thought he can call his own.

[devolve]

LOL!

You could get a "Bailout-Restoration"
and sell it at Barrett-Jackson!

[gwilhelm56]

**Will he be switching his skullcap for a Stovepipe hat for the day?**

He shows up in a Stovepipe Hat, I will Pray that Every piece of FRIED CHICKEN he’s ever eaten, attacks him at ONCE!!

[gwilhelm56]

**He could have chosen to ride into Washington upon a donkey.**

It’s not the 20th yet...
Someone please find out what’s giving der FuhrerMessiah his Delusions of Grandeur... I want a CASE!!!

[rogernz]
