I think that its probable the history books will have more to say about Abraham Lincoln than Charles Obadiah Baldwin.

I must though congratulate him (born 1952). His Wikipedia photograph initially reminded me of the Oscar Wilde story 'The Portrait of Dorian Gray'.

But that's where the portrait 'ages' whilst Dorian remains forever young. So I guess its more 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' (by F Scott Fitzgerald) where the man was born 'old' and gets younger as the years go by. Thus our Mr Baldwin is now approaching childhood where he believes himself to be the centre of attention and that he knows everything.
