It's ironic that Abraham Lincoln's quote "government of the people, by the people, and for the people", would be woven into the rug of the Oval Office. Barack Obama has no interest in what 'the people' think. He wants to force his agenda on us, whether we like it, or not, because he and his elite cohorts think THEY know what's best for us.
It's also interesting that Lincoln's quote is shown in the article to actually have been uttered 13 years prior to Gettysburg, by Rev. Theodore Parker, the same man who made the 'arc of the moral universe' statement, later made famous by Dr. King.

My suspicion is that he had that put on the rug so he could get his jollies stepping on it.

That is fascinating about two of the quotes. Just goes to show Obama owes more to his mother’s Unitarian roots than he acknowledges.

I think he wanted to put “A government by the people, for the people, and from the people, to each according to his needs.”
