Treasurer Rutherford slowly backs away from President Lincoln as Lincoln discusses how he enacted the first income tax in the United States as a means for paying for a war.

“I am here becuase I was president during the American Reconstruction, and I really want to see the ILGOP’s Reconstruction too.”
“What I couldn’t stand as President was the ’social-climbing, career politician, who was more worried about the next office they were going to run for, instead of doing the job at hand … Hey Dan …”

“Treasurer Rutherford wants to ask if you would like to go to a Play this afternoon, before all the speeches …”
“What is the one thing that has been ‘haunting’ you President Lincoln all these years?”
“How did the Play end?”

“I want to thank Treasurer Rutherford for bringing me here today. The renovations to Ford’s Theatre are amazing, aren’t they?”
“I told Dan that if he mentions me again on The Facebook or The Twitter, I would stake him through the heart like a vampire … so things are good.”

Mr. Lincoln. As I remember, by the way name is Dan Rutherford. But as I was saying, I Dan Rutherford come from a long line of Rutherford’s. On the door to my office it even says Dan Rutherford. Right above where it says Dan Rutherford it says treasurer. When I get my cell phone bill, right there on the paper, black print on white paper it says, Dan Rutherford. At any rate. Nice to talk with you Mr. Lincoln, Ole Abe, The great Emancipator….
Comment by John A Logan Thursday, Aug 30, 12 @ 11:59 am
Ah Treasurer Rutherford…I know the state is in a mess…so would you mind not mentioning my name during the role call…the masses might mistake me for a convict. Oh and by the way, I have some property I need to re-claim from your list….
