“Hello, Gettysburg! How y’all doin’ today? Nice day to dedicate a
cemetery, hunh? Listen, I’m going to be brief, because I know a lot of
people are dying to get in there. Heh! Heh!
“But
seriously. I’ve been to a lot of Civil War memorials, and I just want
to say that Gettysburg really knows how to put one of these on. That’s
right, give yourselves a hand! I was just up in Appomattox for one of
these staged ferrotype ops you have to do, and let me tell you—those
Virginians think they’re pretty solemn. I want to say to them—if you
want to see solemnity, you come to Gettysburg! Yeah!
“But I
gotta mention your mayor! Woodforde J. Chesterview, mayor of
Gettysburg. Listen, this guy—he’s a nice guy, but I’m not sure you want
him overseeing the town’s budget. You know what he said to me when I
arrived just now? He said ‘Mister President, do you have a twin
brother? Because I need change for Alexander Hamilton.’ Heh! Heh!
“But
seriously. I want to thank the Ladies’ Auxiliary for the great spread
they put together. Give them a hand. Wasn’t the food great? I had about
fifteen of those cheese muffins, I couldn’t help myself. They’re going
to stop calling me ‘the Great Emancipator’ and start calling me ‘the
Greatly Constipated.’ I’m serious! Heh! Heh!
“But seriously, folks—four score and seven years ago…”
