Today is the 150th anniversary of one of the greatest speeches and moments in American history: President Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address. Documentarian Ken Burns has commemorated the extraordinary event with an ongoing series of sitdowns with famous politicos and celebrities, whom he records learning, memorizing, and reciting the speech.
This is a cool project from Ken Burns. http://t.co/nwZokvwgNF Famous Americans learn and record the Gettysburg address. Clinton's is good.

So what was so important that caused Obama to miss the festivities?
So.. Why is Obama not going to the Gettysburg address 150th anniversary!? Where does that make sense?!

Pres Obama to skip the event marking 150 years since Gettysburg Address. Perhaps a conflict with his tee time? @TexasHotMomma

It was a battleground loss for Democrats. RT @NolteNC Obama snubbing Gettysburg is just bizarre.

We prefer Allen West’s oratory to Barack Obama’s any day, anyway. Preach it!
Since @barackobama can't be bothered to honor #Gettysburg150 today, I will. My modern version of the address: http://t.co/9M3OMAZAe2
