Today, 12 February, is Abraham Lincoln’s, the 16th President of the United States, birthday. If there was anyone who was able to hold this country together, it was Lincoln and he was truly an inspiration to many, for Lincoln is still being written about over two centuries later. And rightly so, because
He has the right to criticize who has the heart to help.
– Abraham Lincoln
From President Abraham Lincoln’s 1865 inauguration speech:
“With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation’s wounds…to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.”
Abraham Lincoln was born … but 9 out 10 people asked didn’t know it was Lincoln’s Birthday…
BRING BACK LINCOLN’S BIRTHDAY AS A NATIONAL HOLIDAY!
DUMP PRESIDENTS’ DAY!
Happy Birthday Mr. President… We need you. We’ve gotten ourselves into a mess that right now seems that it gets worse every day. The Union you fought hard to save and hold together is strong, but the people, the people are hurting. It’s not the same conditions when you were “Commander-in-Chief”
It used to be that your birthday was well respected for the legacy that you left behind. One Union that got even stronger over time. Somehow, they forgot those lessons and things. Now they have “Presidents’ Day” which always falls on a Monday, but instead of honoring you, they have these SALES.
America has become a land of “things” rather than respect the heritage upon which it was built. I’m sure you could have thrown up your hands and let things crumble. They didn’t have the Gallop poll to tell you how you were doing, you just knew what to do without all that feedback.
Seems that the ones in that Capitol building are bickering about how to fix things. I don’t believe they do know what they’re doing. Perhaps they’ll listen to you.
I want you to come back. I’ve baked a cake for your birthday… Come blow out the candles and have a slice of cake and then we’ll get down to work!

16th President of the United States
