NOT MY TRIBE - 2/24/2013 9:19PM MDT

President Barack Obama couldn’t deliver on the campaign inference he’d fill Abraham Lincoln’s shoes, so what do we do? Cut the Great Emancipator down to size.

Generations of visitors to DC’s monument will no longer recognize the seated giant, he’ll seem to big.
