Obama: Bound to be Fake (Idjit in Chief uses fake Lincoln quote)
Naional Review ^ | March 21 | John J. Pitney Jr.]

Posted on 03/21/2010 5:50:19 AM PDT by PghBaldy

...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...

I know the MSM is in the tank for 0bama, but it still amazes me how many linguistic blunders with which they let 0bama get away.

Note he doesn't say "The White House has a great library"...

Well, I have the pleasure of having a very nice library on line. And, recently, I was struck by this quote from Eugene O’Neill’s, “The Emperor Jones,” 1920:

JONES

Ain’t I de Emperor? De laws don’t go for him. {Judiciously) You heah what I tells you, Smithers. Dere’s little stealin’ like you does, and dere’s big stealin’ like I does. For de little stealin’ dey gits you in jail soon or late. For de big stealin’ dey makes you Emperor and puts you in de Hall o’ Fame when you croaks. {Reminiscently) If dey’s one thing I learns in ten years on de Pullman ca’s listenin’ to de white quality talk, it’s dat same fact. And when I gits a chance to use it I winds up Emperor in two years.

It dont have enough Mao and Ayers books in it. After Obama declares himself President for life, I am sure there will be a nice book burning on the front lawn.

Here is a guy that admitted he took Michelle to a Spike Lee movie as a first date......he does not browse the White House library looking for quotes.

We, the citizens of these 50 United States, have a really nice library at our White House.

Of course, he made it up just like everything else that falls out of his mouth. He wouldn’t know the truth if it smacked itself up side his head. Just another lie to be added to the ever growing list of lies.

Well, in mitigation, there are a lot of fake Lincoln quotes out there and some of them are pretty good. This one, not so much.

I have stopped referring to the “Whitehouse” as the “Whitehouse.” Until Malcolm O is evicted, I’m referring to it as the “Presidential Palace.”
