According to Fox News, a fake letter from President Lincoln to President Obama has been generated from N. Korea's leader.
Roger, can you post the story?

North Korea's state media evidently don't know anything about Abraham Lincoln!

It is an interesting choice, however. Was Lincoln chosen because it was known that Obama admires Lincoln- therefore serving to rebuke him by his own historical hero? Or is Lincoln so admired the world over that he was chosen for the task?

I would guess because Obama admires Lincoln. The "letter", taken from that perspective, would carry a more stinging rebuke.
