"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."Wednesday, November 05, 2008
With Malice Toward None; With Charity for All
"With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations."

:) Thank you. Apparently, senators from Illinois are often filled with eloquent thoughts.
I was looking all over for this. Thanks Jeff!!!
I can't wait for the Hall of Presidents update. Was scarier than the HM next door for a few years there.
Just for the record: Lincoln was never a Senator. He served one term as a US Representative from Illinois' 7th district. Which means he had even less prior experience than Mr. Obama...and did pretty well in spite of the fact. ;-) A cheering thought to both sides this week, I hope.
Very Nice Jeff,
Words a divided nation needs to hear!
Great words to post! Obama and Lincoln are Disneyesque:principles, the audacity of hope and making the "impossible" (almost, anyway) happen!
Great post!

Yeah, apparently one freed the slaves and saved the nation while the other one simply plans on enslaving us to the government he plans on bankrupting.
Here's to moving forward and learning from the past!
