I thought Obots were big on comparisons between Odumbo and Lincoln?

Obama respects the Constitution about as much as Lincoln did. The time is once again approaching when a few states may want to exit this "voluntary" union.

He will likely have his own CW if he stays course. Then he can read his own prepared speech on his teleprompts.

Maybe he found out Lincoln was a Republican?

Ooops. He probably just heard about it on CNN. His staff don't tell him a thing, you know.

“The WH is in bunker mode and obviously afraid the kenyan will be booed.”

Bingo!

And from the looks of things, he will be in bunker mode for a long time.

You nailed it! The president has a golf game to attend. Sorry, Gettysburg.

Since there AREN'T any; BHO would be compared to Baghdad Bob instead:

This works for me. To be honest Obama should be banned from attending ANY and ALL ceremonies, events or occasions that have any significance of valor or honor at all.

My sources tell me that the WH offered to send the Teleprompter.

obama doesn’t admire Lincoln, or our other past Presidents including clinton and carter, any of our Founding Fathers, our Constitution our, military, our history. He has nothing but hate and vitriol for anything American, much like I have for him and his socialist ilk.

Good. He should not desecrate sacred
ground with his presence.

Besides, historians and reenactors tend to be a very patriotic bunch. He would have an embarrassingly chilly reception up there.

I seriously doubt Obama is not going because he loved Robert E Lee...

This is cowardice. How a US President could miss this is unbelievable.

Gettysburg is very close to DC. He went to a 200th Anniversary of Lincoln’s birth event, though.

He’s afraid the re-enactors that will be there will have real bullets.
