So much for all those Lincoln comparisons.BizPacReview: President Obama is skipping out on the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg address not to help hurricane victims in the Philippines, tornado victims in Illinois or even to do what he promised — “to keep on working as hard as [he] can” to fix the Affordable Care Act.
Nope, in fact, he doesn’t even have a reason. On Tuesday, when the nation will mark such a momentous day in history, the president is scheduled to meet privately with Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel and then later with editors at the Wall Street Journal, but that’s it.
The White House website schedule indicates that the president has “no public schedule.”
I know Lincoln wasn't black, but didn't he have something to do with emancipating the slaves and beginning to break down the racial barriers in America all the way back in 1863? Ehh...not glamorous enough for this prez.
One generation of enslaved was emancipated...over a century-and-a-half later, another disconnected, now of all color and creeds, are enslaved under statism. It's time to emancipate America!
UPDATE: Unfortunately, Lincoln's not the only one snubbed...
Listen to the montage of Leftists and RINOs assembled to recite the address as Lincoln had written it, including the phrase, "that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom." Everyone recites it...except Obama. (via WMAL)AmericanThinker: President Obama failed to include the words "under God" while reading from the Gettysburg Address for a PBS documentary. As first reported by Chris Plante on WMAL, the president recited the Gettysburg Address, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863. The video clip is part of a PBS documentary created by filmmaker Ken Burns that includes speeches by other celebrities.
How did Obama the "Constitutional scholar" pick the "first draft" versus the "official version" of the Gettysburg Address? This cannot be just a "mistake."
Obama has censored God from his remarks before. During an October 18, 2010 speech at a fundraiser for the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC) he glaringly left out the mention of a "Creator" as the source of man's "unalienable rights," when quoting the Declaration of Independence. The president failed to say "by their Creator" when referencing the inalienable rights we are all endowed with.
What would prompt a sitting president of the United States, one who claims that he's a practicing Christian and believes in God, to deliberately avoid mentioning God, his Creator, in so many of his public speeches and remarks? Is he ashamed of God or does he no longer believe in Him?
