All is a twitter on Twitchy regarding Nobama's no-show at the a150 year anniversary of The Gettysburg Address.
Some in the media are mocking Pfeiffer/Obama for their sarcastic tweets.

He doesn’t want to have to hear “that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
He's going to throw a huge temper tantrum. And no media can erase that.

(update) The “Learn the Address” website notes that “We asked President Obama to read … the ‘Nicolay Version’” of the Gettsyburg Address, which omits the words “under God.” That disclosure does not appear alongside Obama’s video on the site.
“It is rather for us, the living, we here be dedicated to the great task remaining before us,” Obama recites, “that, from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here, gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
But the draft most often taught to American school children — and listed on Ken Burns’ website as the preferred draft for the video project — is the Bliss Copy:
“It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Historians do believe that Lincoln honed the address in later drafts after he delivered it, but there is little disagreement about whether Lincoln uttered the words “under God” when he spoke at Gettysburg.
“Every stenographic report, good, bad and indifferent, says ‘that the nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom,’” wrote historian William E. Barton. “There was no common source from which all the reporters could have obtained those words but from Lincoln’s own lips at the time of delivery.”
To be more correct.
Obama doesn’t want the slaves freed.
That’s only because “under Obama” would be a little tacky, even to the OMessiah crowd.
Health care of Barack Obama, by Ezekiel Emanuel, for their chosen cronies, shall cause you and your fellow conservatives to perish from the earth.
The tweets by Dan Pheiffer are very childish. Ron Fournier is putting this jerk in his place, though. Unreal...that an *official WH* account would make such immature tweets.
no, what would be tacky is obama delivering this with “under God” wearing the lapel nametag with “God” scribbled across it...
We are fast approaching the point where the malignant narcissist discovers that no one is gaga over his "Emperor clothes". Once he realizes we all see him as the naked incompetent affirmative-action fraud that he is he will blow.
That will not be healthy for millions of Americans.
Long ago, people were predicting that he’d have a full on temper tantrum, on camera, for all to see before the end of his presidency.
Obama probably got word that Lincoln was a Republican.
If I'm China, Russia, or North Korea, NOW.
>>> That will not be healthy for millions of Americans.
Current status quo is even more unhealthier (for millions of Americans).
Vee Jay would be making decisions like this, and she does not like to be critized by “the help”.
Anyway, Lincoln spoke of the "unfinished work..." Obama's inauguration as the first black President finished the work, so for him to go to Gettysburg would be anticlimactic.
His presence would only be a sh!tstain on an otherwise sacred vigil.
