Great Quote came over my transom......

I took a couple of days to finish up a special project that I'll share with y'all in a week or so.... meanwhile, one of our regular Pilgrims slipped this jewel through my transom:

Obama has made numerous attempts to quote Lincoln

SO WHY DOESN'T OBAMA USE THIS FAMOUS LINCOLN QUOTE:

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.

... Abraham Lincoln

Is that great or what?

Thanks and a Tip O' the Stetson to my vet pal Al up in Maryland
