as anyone who has watched any coverage since obama won the presidential election knows... the man loves himself some abe lincoln.and why not? he's from the land of lincoln. lincoln played a part in making his journey possible with the emancipation proclamation.
so....it's no surprise that his inaugural picks up where all the discussion of lincoln/obama/doris kearns goodwin's team of rivals left off.
he rode the train to washington following lincoln's trip.
he held a kick-off concert at the lincoln memorial on sunday.
he will be sworn in on the same bible which lincoln used to take the oath of office.
but...a little tidbit from our good friends at nbc. apparently, when obama dined with the conservative, media elite last week at george will's home... well, mr. will owns a glass that belonged to president lincoln.
and guess what? mr. obama drank from the glass.
i suppose if you have to be obsessed with a president.....
oh, wait...another tidbit from nbc's kelly o'donnell: the obama's will dine on the lincoln china this evening.
