As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lincolns famous Gettyisburg Address, its interesting to not two things. One is that what is presumed to be the first draft did not include under God (the draft Obama was asked to use). The other thing is that politics never seems to die. Lincoln was a Republican, and as we would suspect: The Democratic-leaning Chicago Times observed, The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States. Apparently, we cant help ourselves.
