  Everyone just calls it a quotation and a misquotation, but where I came from (every school I ever attended AND the daddy for whom the F-word was FDR), that would have been a paraphrase with attribution, not a direct quotation. It's fair to comment on whether it was well-paraphrased, of course, and also to speculate on what it means or what he meant.
  
  The commentary on how he was trying to lie (my words) is free speech on AB's site, but it smacks of a parochial (secondary definition) group exercise in self-gratification while cherry-picking sources from Claremont McKenna, Hillsdale, and The Claremont Review. Red meat for a carnivorous choir.

     So Lincoln scholar Jaffa smacks of parochial?  Sorry Geoff, he bastardized Lincoln and his actions demonstrate he comes nowhere close to believing those poor paraphrases.  President Obama can push whatever agenda he likes but he shouldn't paint it with Lincoln.

  Was Boehner grabbing his nose out of reflex from the stench of Obama's lie?

  It is ridiculous for President Obama to use Lincoln as cover for his Liberal assed agenda.
  
  Some months ago the attempt was made to quote (ok, paraphrase) Reagan, also as cover for an equally "narrow minded" (first definition) proposal to increase taxes. Are you kidding me?
  
  There is a reason why the most liberal president in our lifetime isn't quoting Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter or even FDR. I know the reason, do you?
