Remember when Abraham Lincoln brought up James Buchanan's name every time there was a problem during the Civil War? Buchanan, Buchanan, Buchanan, that's all anyone heard from Lincoln and his Cabinet.
"Four score and seven years ago, before that loser Buchanan screwed everything up ..."

The USA knew that the Japanese were going to attack,
but they thought it would be in the South Pacific
around the Philippines.

I could've made a GREAT, the BEST deal with President Davis, my friend Jeff, known him a long time, and no war, no war.

Generals, big strong Generals have come up to me with tears in their eyes and said, 'President Lincoln, Sir, thank you for trying to save the Union. But we don't want Massachush...Mashatu...New York. Can't we just give them New York and have PEACE?!'

I'm very tempted, I gotta tell ya. I've never liked New York and it's never liked me. I've done a lot for it, but that's all right.

They want me to speak at Gettysburg, somewhere in Pennsylvania. I told them I didn't see the point of being around dead people. But maybe I'll go; we'll see. I might send Andy instead.

What's that, have I seen the new play yet? No, but Mrs. Lincoln and I are looking forward to going. We support the Arts, you know that, right? Unlike my low-IQ predeshesh...predator...that guy before me. I might re-name it 'Lincoln Theater.' Sounds more Presidential than 'Ford'.

I'm also getting the best minds together to figure out a plan to deal with the Redman Problem. We should finalize the solution in two weeks.

Thank you for your attention to this matter."
