Obama: Bound to be Fake   [John J. Pitney Jr.]

In his remarks to the House Democratic Caucus (the White House website called it “The House Democratic Congress” – talk about a sense of ownership), the president said:

I have the great pleasure of having a really nice library at the White House.  And I was tooling through some of the writings of some previous Presidents and I came upon this quote by Abraham Lincoln:  “I am not bound to win, but I’m bound to be true.  I’m not bound to succeed, but I’m bound to live up to what light I have.”

The book he was consulting may have been They Never Said It, by Paul F. Boller and John George.  If so, he missed what they said about the Lincoln passage: “This sounds like Honest Abe, but honesty compels admirers of Lincoln to admit that there is no documentary evidence for the statement.”

Has there been a time that The One hasn't stuck at least one foot into his own mouth ?  -- If GW Bush made all of these same errors, the libs would be going on about how stupid and/or drunk he is - yet Obama does this all the time, and he is the smartest president ever.  ::)
