Abraham Lincoln, who did you think? :P
Of course, today, he would be a libbrul, being shouted down by Hannity on Fox and Limbaugh on Hational Hate Radio. Times have changed.

1. Watching MSNBC coverage of the celebration. |

They just requested that everyone remain standing for the religious invocation. This for a man who never formally joined a church and managed (as historian Eric Foner notes) to be inaugurated twice without a minister present. I'm waiting for some religion to do a postmortum baptism of Lincoln--assuming, that is, that the Mormons haven't beat them to it.
PS., Yes Lincoln was a good president.

I'm in Germany, and even here Lincoln's 200th birthday was on page 1 of all the newspapers. We don't get MSNBC here (or ABC or Fox or anything else from the States except CNN)
