(snip)The 150th Anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is November 19, 2013.Obama can’t make it.He’s busy.(snip)The White House gave no reason why the president would not attend.According to the National Park Service, Obama has never visited the battlefield as president.In 2008, Barack Obama rolled out his presidential campaign in Springfield, Ill., where Lincoln announced his own presidential candidacy. Throughout that year’s campaign, Obama’s staff embraced similarities between the two men as part of his persona; he allowed them to encourage lofty comparisons – and, after he won the election, he recreated Lincoln’s 1861 train trip to Washington as part of his own inaugural spectacle.He even took the oath of office on Lincoln’s Bible – twice.(snip)
Actually the further he is away the better. Lord knows I don't want him to make the Gettysburg Address all about him.
