In what will be a Lincoln-themed inauguration from top to bottom, Obama won't only follow in the footsteps of the former president - he'll also eat like him, it was announced yesterday.
Obama's jampacked Abe-apalooza moved into high gear with an announcement from the Congressional Inaugural Committee that it will hold a luncheon next Tuesday following the swearing-in ceremony that's modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed.

And, isn’t he more white than black? I guess I’m glad I’m 60 instead of 20......
I actually went back to the top of the page to check to see if it was The Onion after reading your comment. It's has gotten bad.
Complete with inaugural outfit. Tophat included.
“I guess I’m glad I’m 60 instead of 20......”
I hear ya. I’m beginning to see the value of being 61 with this mess coming down. I’m ashamed of the mess being left to my children.
Paying tribute to Lincoln (as opposed to Obama being Lincolnesque which he is not) is fine.
I’m sure Obama knows the left teaches that Lincoln was a racist who didn’t free any slaves. So Obam praising Lincoln strikes me as odd.
Prior to taking the reins of power as the world's first economic fascist, Lincoln was an advocate of the 'American System,' or 'Mercantilism.' Lincoln devoted his entire career to the establishment of a central bank. As a new Republican, he was able to establish a cental bank and implement the failed 'corporate welfare' policies of the Whig party, financed through the printing of paper ignorantly perceived as money.
Upon taking office Lincoln committed a series of unconstitutional acts Including launching an invasion of the South without consulting Congress, as required by the Constitution; declaring martial law; blockading the Southern ports; suspending the writ of habeas corpus for the duration of his administration; imprisoning without trial thousands of Northern citizens; arresting and imprisoning newspaper publishers who were critical of him; censoring all telegraph communication; nationalizing the railroads; creating several new states without the consent of the citizens of those states; ordering federal troops to interfere with the elections in the North by intimidating Democratic voters; deporting a member of Congress, Clement L. Vallandigham of Ohio, for criticizing the administration's income tax proposal at a Democratic Party rally; confiscating private property; confiscating firearms in violation of the Second Amendment; and effectively gutting the ninth and 10th amendments to the Constitution, among other things.
The O’s emancipation proclamation will be for the “WORKERS,” in typical Marxist lingo. The problem is that O’s Omancipation proctologizing will Oppress all people.
One thing you can say about the one, he never has a thought he can call his own.
The Odiot is truly a victory of symbolism over substance...SSZ
You see, "we just can't afford" to keep the defective around, and besides it is more "compassionate" to "let them die," don't you know. Even if it means starving and dehydrating them to death.
Actually ... the volcanic activity is in Yellowstone ...
Wow, it took 47 posts before the lost cause mythology made it's first appearance. You guys are slipping.
Yup ...that sounds like what the obamanation might be like ...
That's OK. By the time the Obama administration is over, he'll have 54% of the population thinking Lincoln was a democrat.
As anyone regaled the Obamas with theather tickets?
Some Hope and Change! America has gone mad!
Funny how the history books gloss over a lot of that.
I wonder if he plans to go to the theater, as well . . .
His ancestors on his father's side were African slave traders. His ancestors on his mother's side were American slave owners. Of course, Obama doesn't want to talk about that any more than he wants to talk about his still never seen birth certificate.
"Barack Obama's campaign hired genealogists to research the family's roots at the onset of his presidential bid, but aides have largely kept the findings secret. Genealogists at Lowcountry Africana, a research center at the University of South Florida in Tampa, scoured documents to put together a 120-page report, according to project director Toni Carrier. She said the center signed a confidentiality agreement and is not allowed to disclose the findings publicly."
