Hipster Abe Lincoln 

When the New York Times reported that a Mitt Romney-affiliated Super PAC was considering attacking President Obama for falsely crafting the persona of a “black, metrosexual Abe Lincoln,” the obvious way to respond was with revulsion.

(“Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth skinny jeans…”) Indeed, with so many other presidents to choose from, why stop at Lincoln? “

Happy Saturday
