Actually Lincoln was FROM INDIANA ~ he just "lived" in Illinois.

There's a Lincoln state park near Evansville ~ and while they're at it they can do a 3 hour RT drive up to Brown County and visit a couple of gravesites considered sacred to many Alaskans. That'l take them through some of his father's cousin's country. Pick up a few votes.

Where did you go to school? Abraham Lincoln was born in Kentucky. He himself claimed Illinois as his home.

Gotta ask: what are you referring to? “3 hour RT drive up to Brown County and visit a couple of gravesites considered sacred to many Alaskans”. Thanks.
Didn’t Lincoln live in all 3 states at one time or another?

Lincoln was born in Kentucky, but his family moved to Indiana when he would have been around eight. His mother died there when he would have been ten. Apparently, he moved to Illinois in 1830, so he lived in Indiana from ages 8-22.

The parallel with Obama is uncanny.

Obama was FROM KENYA - he just “lived” in Illinois.

I know another has already corrected you, but I’m a Hoosier; Kentucky bore him, Indiana raised him and Illinois is where he took what he learnt and put it to work.
