Is all the Lincoln coverage to distract people from the $800 B dollar stink bomb being negotiated by Congress?

It's like the news networks think talking about Lincoln is more important than keeping tabs on what Congress is doing.|||It's because it's the 200 year anniversary of Lincoln's birth.

I haven't forgotten how bad the economy is, it's all around. What do you want Congress to do, nothing??|||yes|||Nope, it's because Lincoln was an important historical figure.





Ridiculous question. They can cover "breaking news" easily--do it all the time.





What is Congress doing? They're working on the stimulus...I believe it's about to be passed. What info are you looking for?|||Yes. Obama should be in his office working his butt off instead of out on the campaign trail.





The election is over so now it's time for him to get to work.|||Yes, because president Lincoln's mother was in fact psychic. So she timed the birth of her son so that his 200th birthday would come at a time that Obama would need it.
