Regarding C-Span's year-long honoring of Lincoln... [View All]

[Cassandra]

I have to wonder how much this is about honoring one of our greatest presidents and how much is meant as a reminder, in an election year, that the GOP still thinks of itself as the party of Lincoln. Not to be churlish but I have trouble imagining Brian Lamb doing a year-long celebration of FDR, particularly with links to his speeches on their website. When Thom Hartmann plays bits of FDR's speeches on his show occasionally, I always think how shocking it would be to hear someone saying that now (I'm thinking of the economic royalists comments).
