Ab would be proud.

Wow, working gal. Talk about sour grapes.

please don't let the traitor dems. go to the luncheon.

From the first that I saw Obama speaking to the Democrat Convention, I said that is a man that we will see a lot more of! And I felt then the connection to Lincoln. I am open to idea of reincarnation... or at least Gestalt theory. I think if he is not the reincarnation of Lincoln, then he is part of that Gestalt from which he came! Just saying.... believe what you will.

@ Working gal.....Spoken like a true bigot. I'm sure Rush, Hannity, and David Duke would be proud. It must be terrible to be such a miserable wretch as youself.

Obama "You Are The One"/ Michelle -/Biden /Jill love you guys have a wonderfull day on the 20th / remember we may be absent but in spirit will be celebrating with you .
Lincoln would be happy with this.

They should be feeding the homeless and hungry. Washington better party hardy while they can. There are more hard times comming.

I like that this President is honoring President Lincoln throughout his inauguration. Each new administration is another chapter of American history. Ackowledging our past as we celebrate the present is a beautiful tradition. I like that this inauguration embraces one of our beloved Presidents. He will be sworn in with the same Bible President Lincoln used and the inaugural luncheon also honors President Lincoln with the tableware and menu selections in the Statuary Hall of the Capitol (which is quite historical on its own). If you don't like or care for history, if you haven't been to our nation's capitol, a lot of this might be lost on you. But don't ridicule it, ok.

The menu is nice and hopefully they will enjoy the food.

That's a lovely plate! Wishing the Obamas and the Bidens a wonderful Inauguration Celebration! We will be watching from home with a breakfast and plenty of friends!

HOPE WON.......... HOPE WON......... HOPE WON.......... HOPE WON!!!

AMERICA DON'T LET THE DOOM & GLOOM GET TO YOU.......

YES WE CAN AND YES WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS TOUGH TIME!

"Working gal",
grow-up, or shot-up, PLEASE!!!!
Thanks!

Working gal, you sound bitter.
Don't get bitter, get better.

BEAUTIFUL GESTURE!

Yum!! Just bring me a large piece of cake on one of those beautiful plates and keep my champagne glass full! I'll pass on everything else.

It'll be a day to remember and a great celebration for the country! Here's to a better future!!

Getting out hand, just something else to talk about. Bad choice of food, it would have been better off going to golden carrol having the dinner buffet $7.99 per person. (SMILE)

All of this at the tax payer's expense when unemployment is closing in on double digits.

what?? not the new china

I imagine they will cook with fire started by rubbing two sticks togteher? The menu doesn't sound good at all!

Eat your heart out Obama Haters!

What is it with Obama and all of this Lincoln stuff? If this man actually believes anything he has accomplished even comes close to Lincoln....then yes...he is one arrogant......

Cheers to Obama and Biden, we are counting on you!

Doesn't sound too good to me, except the cake and the wine.

C'est tres bon!!!!!! What a day it's going to be! I'm loving it!
God bless President-Elect Obama, VP Biden and their families!
God bless us all!

And doesn't he think he's just spiffy with all the Lincoln stuff? Lincoln freed him and he's the first. Oh my, what a deal!

Just think how bored and afraid ALL of us would be if McCain/Palin were sitting at this luncheon.

Thank God they are no more!!!!!!

Only the cake sounds like something worth eating.

This will be a day to remember! (Abraham Lincoln is my favorite President too.)

Looks like a fantastic plate on which to serve the GOP some crow. Eat up boys. Lincoln is seriously disappointed in you.

I admire Obama, but I really wish he would stop building his image and brand around Abe Lincoln's legacy. Doesn't he know Lincoln was clinically depressed?

The best part? The GOP chose Reagan as their christ figure instead of Lincoln. Having any regrets guys? Yeah, "oops" doesn't even begin to describe it.

C'mon someone out there has read Animal Farm and sees the OBVIOUS parallel here, right? Please don't flame me unless you have at least read or heard of the book.

I remember Carter? or Clinton? walking the parade route instead of riding to show an attempt at connecting with the common person. Maybe Obama could skip the pheasant and champagne for a day, in light of the out-of-work masses.

Unless he has abandoned the charade already, and moved into the 'farmhouse".

Is PETA going to protest? Or is that strictly reserved for republicans?

"Seafood stew, pheasant and duck"

Yeah, they're really in touch with the working poor.

Sounds nice.
