A Pulitzer to go with the

Nobel peace prize,,,,,

So 0b0z0 sat down and created a “historical” document?

Awesome... or not...

“But Lincoln’s words give us confidence that whatever trials avoid us...”

Either he DID write it, or when he saw the word “avail” us on his computer screen he thought to himself “Avail?? Avail?? What kind of word is that? Michelle!!! Michelle!!??? Aw heck. Well, there ain’t no such word as “avail”. “Available?” No that doesn’t work. “Avast!” Arggg

“avoid”? Trials “avoid” us!! There we go. (I sure hope the trials can avoid me!!)

[Keen-Minded]

I believe he wrote on stationery by copying what his speech writer gave him. Another farce in history!

[Bender2]

Dear Diary, I am so much more cool than that long dead white dude, Lincoln... Before I am through, we'll have everyone believing I am a much greater President than him. Hell, we already have them believing old Abe was a Liberal Democrat!

[Colonel_Flagg]

I’m quite certain that Abe Lincoln was thinking of sodomite “marriage” when he wrote the Gettysburg Address. Right, Baraq.

Sigh.

[21twelve]

Darn. I KNEW I should have looked at the handwritten letter. Obama did write down “avail”. (So - no WAY did he come up with those words.)

Speeches are all written by speech writers, and I understand that. Passing off someone else’s writing as your own is wrong. There must be numerous examples of personal letters that people have received from him over the years. Although I would look at the later letters as suspect, having been written for him.

[SkyDancer]

And why are we reading this from a foreign news source?

And you're right. Obama is soooo eloquent he just sat down and penned this??

[uncitizen]

Oh Puleeze!

[TomServo]

LOL!!!!

[JohnBovenmyer]

According to the Wiki on Lincoln's speech the 'Bliss copy' of it, which Lincoln wrote down three months later, resides in the Lincoln room of the WH as is the 'standard' version most of us memorized. It includes the "under God" that all sources agree Lincoln said, although he didn't write it in the two pre-speech drafts, both of which reside at the Library of Congress. Ø claims to have read off the first draft for this Godless recording.

Aside one: I see the øne writes in cursive. His voters will be dismayed and confused.

Aside two: For comments on Gettysburg and the Address by a great and real black man, who properly appreciates both, listen to the end of this wonderful interview with Justice Thomas.

[Conspiracy Guy]

Quilty, you caught me. I only read the headline and part of the excerpt.

[I-ambush]

Don’t forget the Grammies for the audio versions of his books. Such awards are the modern liberals’ equivalent of Stalin’s sassy of medals.

[I-ambush]

“Sassy” = “sash”
Thanks, spellcheck!

If you liked my Gettysburg address, you can shove it. Period.

OBAMA'S LETTER COMMEMORATING LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS

Can I buy a vowel?

[Utilizer]

In the evening, when Michelle and the girls have gone to bed, I sometimes walk down the hall to a room Abraham Lincoln used as his office. It contains...

My Throne.
And Special Paper.
