Abraham Lincoln is old news and he wasn't even born in the Great Blue State of Illinois! Did Old Man Lincoln even win a Nobel Peace Prize? (No, he didn't---- And he actually freeded the Slaves!!) This petition is to change the old Illinois slogan "land of lincoln" to "Land of Obama" Obama was from Chicago and was probabally one of the best senators to come from Chicago. Mr. President Barack Obama is the first African-American president of the United States and is honored for his noble vision, statesmanship, humanity, and political skill. Only an idiot racist republican would be against this petition.
