President Obama is honoring Abraham Lincoln today.
Obama pays personal tribute to Abraham Lincoln
1 hour ago
President Barack Obama is paying a very personal tribute to Abraham Lincoln on the former president's 200th birthday. Obama said in prepared remarks Thursday that he feels "a special gratitude" to the historical giant, who in many ways made his own story possible.
The White House released in advance Obama's remarks to a Lincoln bicentennial celebration in the stately Rotunda of the U.S. Capitol.
On Thursday night, Obama will deliver the keynote address at the Abraham Lincoln Association's annual banquet in Springfield, Ill.
In Washington, Obama's remarks summoned the attention of the nation at war and in crisis, exhorting people to remember Lincoln's singular priority of unity.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

Yep, they were born on the same day.
Thought experiment: Researchers discover a letter written by Lincoln where he blames the Civil War on "degenerate homosexuals." What does MrFun do with the rest of his life?
I think he'd start wearing gray, and humming "Dixie."John Brown did nothing wrong.
