John Usher. Ring any bells? Didn't think so. They're both nobodies - well, actually, they're both Secretaries of the Interior. The difference is when Usher travelled to Gettysburg, he went with his President. When Jewell goes this November, she'll be the headliner - her President is taking a pass. Obama will be a no-show at the 150th anniversary of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. For a president who has so demonstrably associated himself with Lincoln - the heir of Lincoln's policies who announced his candidacy from the steps of the Old State Capitol in Springfield and used the Lincoln Bible (twice) at his inauguration - this is nothing less than a profile in cowardice. In the end, Barack Obama simply didn't have the stones. It's sad. And telling. History will note that Lincoln's legacy did not live up to the challenge. [/QUOTE]
