It's because Obama was never an admirer of Lincoln in the first place. Lincoln was just another disposable prop in the grand illusion.
"Unclear", my A$$. He doesn't want to be showered with "Horse Apples" which he most certainly would if he showed. Boo ed off the stage at the least. What an AMATUER!!
It’s Hallowed Ground.
Perhaps he’s afraid he’ll catch fire.
What could Obongo possibly say that people would still be listening to or even care about 150 years later?
Obongo knows he couldn’t possibly come close to the impact of Lincoln’s brief remarks, written by Lincoln himself, and delivered without the aid of teleprompters.
He is scared to be anywhere that is away from dc, mass or ny. Too many unknowns, he is basically a coward.
Lincoln was the founder of the Republican party.
Oboma is enslaving people, while Lincoln freed the people.
The two are opposites. Does anyone really have to ask why oboma is dissing Lincoln?
As President, I would hate to go to all these things. I can’t stand Obama but the guy gets a ton of invitations and can’t go to everything. How many anniversary things do we have. He has to go to the 50th Anniversary of JFK Assassination in November so maybe that is the conflict. That is way more important as a President died that day 50 years ago.
Good. because he’d rot the battlefield more than 10,000 corpses lying in the sun.
Upgraded for today’s world - Living In Obamaland:
Four years and seven months ago our enemies brought forth on this continent, a new ideology, conceived in Marxism, and dedicated to the proposition that all men should be forced into equality.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether this nation, or any nation so transformed and so eroded, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to a point where those who side with evil will once again be fighting those who are willing to give their lives that a free nation might live. It is unfortunate that is has come to this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not forget — we can not erase — we can not ignore — this war. For the brave men, living and dead, who came before us, have shown us, far above our poor power to add or detract, what it takes to restore freedom. The world will note, and long remember what we do here, and it should never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Probably doesn't know the address.
“Mr. Obama used the Lincoln Bible at both of his inauguration ceremonies”
But used no Bible in his secret inauguration. But I’m surprised he doesn’t care about this event. It marks the battle that paved the way for his usurpation.
His party was on the losing side of that war.
Surprised? Not!
Will he be visiting Dallas on the Friday after the missed anniversary?
Will he be busy on the hustings, shaking down the ignorant libs in Follywood, again? Or the Wall St. bankers that he can fine into oblivion if they don’t cough up adequate campaign stash for next year’s election? He’s as busy as a carny in crooked booth at a county fair.
Only because Lincoln was a REPUBLICAN................
If he were truly an intellectual and appreciative for being an important person in our nation’s history, he would eagerly attend and deliver a memorable American speech. A short 150 years produced a black president.
He can’t even spell “Lincoln.”
