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.

(Maybe he should ask Cheney to go with him...)

Great Emancipator?
If he really gets his way with the economy, he’ll ultimately be the Great Emaciator.

The problem in having a showboating President is that America’s position in the world calls for spine and character in its President.
We shall soon see what Obama is made of.

I agree with your post.
I have read enough about Lincoln and while I can’t profess to be an expert, I suspect that Lincoln would be less than impressed with Barack Obama holding the same office as he did.

Some little things are slipping to let us see what their plans truly are.
Bobby Rush, former Black Panther, introducing draconian gun control laws, including the need to have a (gov’t issued) license to OWN and POSESS firearms.
Hmmm... wonder who will be “approved” and who won’t?

and the sheep will eat it up like a good like flock..
The sheep think they elected Denzel...a Hollywood celeb...much more comforting than real life, war, working hard, drudgery, saving money, paying for your own mtg, health insurance, etc.
I would guess there are only about 30% of REAL Americans left anymore.

This is creepy beyond belief. But then, everything about our first foreign president is creepy beyond belief.

I'd like to see that prissy, effete, urban pansy 0bama try his hand at rail-splitting.
The only "Lincoln" he knows anything about is a Town Car.

Most presidents actually DID something worthwhile first and then received acclaim. This guy looks like he skipped a step.

The backdrop for the luncheon will be Lincoln-esque as well - the painting "View of the Yosemite Valley" by Thomas Hill, borrowed from the New-York Historical Society. The painting, which will hang behind Obama, is a landscape of Yosemite Valley at dawn - representing Lincoln's signing of the 1864 Yosemite Grant that set aside the land as a public reserve.
I think this is ironic with all the volcanic activity in Yosemite. There may soon be a new view of the Yosemite valley

Because MrLee, they vote out of ignorance and racial identity. Divide and conquer is the name of this old game.

I’m going to enjoy being in the counterculture. Young people will soon easily understand the stupidity of the new ruling class, and when they learn what it’s costing them....

So 0bama prefers Lincolns to Cadillacs. So what?!
The Linclon is clearly more stylish.

O TO ARRIVE IN A 'LINCOLN': INAUGURAL THEMES WILL HARKEN BACK TO GREAT EMANCIPATOR I reckon it's sort of a good thing that Obama is seeking to model himself after a great Republican President.
