No surprise there. Barack Obama, much like Rod Blagojevich and Roland Burris, is a narcissist. A politician from the state Lincoln’s often connected with (though, contrary to popular belief, wasn’t born in), Obama talks about his election being remembered as the moment the seas stopped rising and the earth would begin to heal. The Bible The One will be sworn-in on? Lincoln’s. Heck, the man is even arriving in D.C. by train. The fact that he’s eating Lincoln’s favorite foods can’t be that much of a shocker.
The Congressional inaugural committee, which is organizing the Capitol Hill part of Inauguration Day, has released the menu for the inaugural lunch.
Think Abraham Lincoln. And California….
To maintain the Lincoln theme, the meal will be served on replicas of Lincoln’s White House china.
Obama thinks he’s the next Abraham Lincoln. The irony being, of course, that Lincoln was a Republican who had to fight Obama’s party to abolish slavery.
