I bought today's SF Chronicle only to look at the movie listings. Then I was confronted with this crap on the "Datebook" page, a review of an upcoming TV special called "Looking for Lincoln", which sullied the upcoming Lincoln's Birthday celebration by dragging BO's name into it.

"How incredibly prescient of Abraham Lincoln to be born 200 years and change before the nation's first African American president took office.

"Sometimes, it seems as though Lincoln's bicentennial and the Obama presidency were somehow preordained, not just because Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation but perhaps more importantly because Obama has so often cited his fellow Illinoisan as a role model..."

These statements make NO logical sense whatsoever. What drivel.
