One would think a constitution law professor would know what was signed at Lincoln’s desk too.....

When she came back from her White House visit recently, she told her dad that she plans to work at the desk in the Lincoln bedroom.
Obama, who is known to be an avid reader of Lincoln history, said his daughter told him “I’m going to sit at that desk, because I’m thinking that will inspire big thoughts.”
During the interview, Obama described the desk as being the spot where Lincoln signed the Gettysburg Address. While there is a copy of the address on display in that room, it actually was the Emancipation Proclamation freeing the slaves that Lincoln signed there.
No one "signs" a speech. This fits right in with his misquoting/confusing the two American comedy TV shows "Sanford and Son" and "The Jeffersons." If he can't get American history right, he could at least get American popular culture right.
Obama is either (a) stupid, or (b) a foreign plant unfamiliar with American history and culture.
This gaffe about the Gettysburg address is almost as bad as the Sanford/Jeffersons TV one.
No, it's not almost as bad. It's worse.
Just about the time FDR went on teevee, too, eh?
Great catch,,,
IIRC the Gettysburg Address was written on the train on the
way to Gettysburg,,,ain’t sure...
