He isn’t going. Why would this president want to honor the Gettysburg Address?

After all, Obama’s only the first black president (with apologies to Bill Clinton).

Could it be because it might shine a spotlight on the fact that the first Republican President, Abraham Lincoln, guided America through a war that ended slavery?

Or that it reminds voters the Republican Party was started by anti-slavery activists?

Might cost some ‘Jim Crow-Bull Connor-KKK legacy’ Democrats a few votes

Wouldn’t want those little nuggets of information to resurface before Nov ’14 elections…
