Obama Mocks O’Really: “First of all-If you read Lincoln, he loved telling the occasional bawdy joke"

Obama Fires Back At O’Reilly: Lincoln Absolutely Would Have Done “Two Ferns”
“First of all, if you read back on Lincoln, he loved telling the occasional bawdy joke,” the president tells ESPN Radio.

“First of all, if you read back on Lincoln, he loved telling the occasional bawdy joke and being out among regular folks,” Obama said.

As the Washington Post reported in 2012, Lincoln was indeed a jokester. And some of them didn’t always land. A story with the punch line “Now, by God, I’ll see if I can’t cut up this turkey without farting” was included in the Post’s list of Lincoln’s worst jokes.

Joyless hater. Lincoln loved dirty jokes. So did some of our founding fathers. Funny how "manly" men like him can't take a fucking joke.

... and that we have a President who's sharp enough to take on a "historian" spouting nonsense.

The fact that O'Reilly had someone write a book about Lincoln makes President Obama's retort very appropriate
