Nov. 19 was the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, a landmark, two-minute speech that a wartime president gave in 1863 about American values and pride of country. Since then, schoolchildren have memorized the words that were spoken, scholars have discussed the importance of those words, and subsequent presidents have come to represent the American people and pay homage to this great man on this historic date.
But where was President Obama on Nov. 19?
During his first run for the presidency, Barack Obama prided himself as being like Lincoln and a fellow “son of Illinois.” After his first election, he even had his inauguration on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. But on the 150th anniversary of this most memorable day in our history, he was nowhere to be seen. Neither was his vice president.
Who did the president (apparently) send to represent his administration? None other than the secretary of the Interior! Does anyone even know who the secretary of the Interior is?
President Obama has prided himself as being like President Lincoln on more than one occasion. History has shown us who President Lincoln was and what great things he did for this wonderful country. We, the people of this country, are also getting to know President Obama and are clearly seeing what he is doing for this nation.
Mr. Obama, sir, you are not a President Lincoln!
God bless America!
