Thanks. What an incredible crowd. They tell me this is the biggest crowd in the history of the North.

.................our politicians are the worst, theyre total failures and they didnt let the South go bye bye and so I pick up the paper today and I read Salmon Chase may run against me in 64! This idiot is in my own cabinet. And I like my cabinet, most of them have terrible beards but theyre OK. They follow orders. First of all what kind of name is Salmon? Should be a harpooneer on a whaling ship with a name like that. So I thought to myself, Salmon Chase, isnt he the guy who night and day pleaded for a job with me after I kicked his ass at the convention in 1860? It was. I even found his telegraph number, give it a try see if it works. Dot dot dash dash dash dot dash dot dot dot dash.
And I can just hear the papers: Abrahams attacking again. Hes saying terrible things. No. I say what I say because Im honest. And Im actually doing my job. Not like those nitwits in Washington. I mean Im out here opening a cemetery for Christ sake! And as I look at this place Im thinking, How could there have been so many casualties? Theres rocks and orchards all around, if I had the time Id develop the property, but you cant tell me that if you call yourself a soldier and you hear a shell or something coming you couldnt have found a place to hide. And incidentally, so what, now Meade is some kind of a great general because he defeated Picketts charge? Youre up on a ridge with all your cannons and everything and the other army is walking right toward you. I mean theyre literally walking. Who couldnt win that!
The point is Im up all hours saving the Union and then here we are in this cemetery and Im supposed to do what? Honor the dead? Theyre dead. Theyre losers. How are we in debt to them? I hate to tell you, but I like the guys who didnt die. Ill honor some of them.
And speaking of honoring, they want me to wrap up so they can honor me at a dinner. Im so in demand its insanity half the time. All Im telling you is if youre living everything is for you.
