Obama invoked Lincoln to justify his spending on green energy research. "We have to make investments in basic research," he declared. "Lincoln understood that, you understand it. Nowhere is that truer, by the way, than in the area of energy . . . Now is the time to stop subsidizing an oil industry that’s rarely been more profitable. Double down on a clean energy industry that’s never been more promising -- solar and wind and biofuels -- homegrown, American energy."

Double down on what? Further proof he's three cards shy of a flush.

“Lincoln understood that”

Yeah, Lincoln’s research budget and expenditures for green energy set a record. The Civil War was a minor inconvenience. /s

Oh, then there’s the whole learning to read by reading the Bible and studying law books by the hearth in the firelight.

It’s all about the research, isn’t it.
