Abraham Lincoln - 200 Years

Behold, the greatest President of the United States of all time.
Abraham Lincoln, born two hundred years ago today, not only preserved the Union and ended slavery, he set the nation on a new course for freedom and justice. He reinvented the country through four years of civil war, guaranteed opportunity and possibility for its people with his support for commerce, science, and education, and eloquently explained - and repeatedly so - what this nation is about: government of the people, by the people, for the people.
Barack Obama has some tough shoes to fill.
