spoken with an Irish Guiness accent: Brilliant!

Love it Gary, well done.
Lincoln singing the blues befor anyone else--I like it!
Well, After he delivered his famous "Lost Speech" here in Bloomington in 1854, the Republican Party was born in Illinois.
There is much legend surrounding the speech, but I tend to think it contained a glimpse into the 1970's when the Republicans began to lose their souls.
Thank you all for your comments!
Gary, this is so cool! Really...this needs to get to the MSM...maybe Keith Obermann....love it.
Now that's a clever bit of political irony, and I like the combination of old with new. Very nice!
Thanks folks!! Lincoln might have liked this forum alot. The problem would be that he would have to take a typing class.
very cool. very miles davis.
Miles may have channeled Lincoln,.....well maybe his melancholy.
Very creative. And I think the man would have agreed with you. Thanks for posting.
I imagine Red to Blue,...following REASON.....
Nice work.

I think Abe's been blue for quite a while.
Brilliant! It's about time someone pulled Lincoln out of the clutching hands of the Neocon Republicans. Thanks, Gary.
I want to see this wonderfully clever image plastered atop billboards across America.
Wait a second - now Abe's workin' blue?
And And John "Slappy-Pants" McCain made him do it?
Hope you don't mind, I sent the above to msnbc and keith olbermann, with full accreditation, of course. Maybe it'll get out there somewhere....
Connie,
That was very good of you! I would like to see it get Olbermanized.
He's my hero...........most of the time.

Matt, yes......with some funding we could start in Manhattan!

L'il Mu! what is that lady trying to make you do?......Oh, I know her!
Republican: The party of Rutherford B. Hayes.
Waltzing in a bit late here. Sorry. Kudos nonetheless.

But really Gary, there is an initial serenity about the look and feel of this, and then, when I read it, I realize it isn't serenity, it's depression that I get. Wow, how appropriate to Lincoln.

Good, strong, & disturbing political art.
Paws up! Well done.
Thanks everyone!! I wanted to remind everyone the Lincoln's Bicentennial will be February 2009! Isn't is fitting that Obama is likely to be in the White House during that time?!!

Lincoln, a great, but truly flawed man will be resurrected in ways that could not be imagined in 1909.
Wonderful!!!
I loved it!
Thank you, Gary.

You 're welcome marjiek. Let's hope Obama can wash those Blues Away in the debate tonight......and beyond!!!
Dabluerreotype. You must patent. (At least it deserves a Wikipedia entry.) Great job!
