With President-elect Barack Obama getting ready to become Commander in Chief, he will have to contend with the wily Photoshop inclinations of the NY Post during his term. Today, the Post is pretty easy on him, putting him in Abraham Lincoln-style garb (no beard, though) for its story on how some Obama inauguration festivities will harken back to Honest Abe's day. For instance, how "Obama will place his hand on the same Bible that Lincoln used at his first inauguration and "Obama will travel by train from Philadelphia to Washington, DC - part of the route taken by Lincoln during an 1861 trip"—not to mention that the Congressional Inaugural Committee's luncheon will have items like "a seafood stew in puff pastry - including scallops, shrimp and lobster - in honor of Lincoln's love of seafood." Well, this year a bicentennial celebration of all things Lincoln.
