Honest Abe, what would we be doing had you not come along.

When I think of Abe Lincoln, the following images come to mind: tall guy, big hat, a beard, the Gettysburg Address, a five dollar bill, and a penny (before Lincoln the fiver and the penny were blank. Look it up!), the Civil War, Illinois, and a log cabin.

If I could think of one word to describe President Lincoln, I would choose: "good."

Honest Abe, what would we have done without you? If it weren't for the combined power of you and George Washington, I would have to go to work on Monday.
