Do you believe this.....they gave Hillary the Lincoln Award. Do you think they should be giving Democrats the Order of Lincoln Award? Despite this Non Partisan Lincoln Academy.

She is nothing like Lincoln. What say ye?
Hillary Rodham Clinton receives Illinois award
She avoids political talk at Order of Lincoln ceremony.....
Former secretary of state and potential 2016 Democratic presidential contender Hillary Rodham Clinton received the Order of Lincoln, the state's highest award, Saturday night, but stayed away from discussing brewing political events.
Clinton, who was born in Chicago and raised in Park Ridge, instead talked about growing up in the region during brief remarks at the Field Museum ceremony, which marked the 50th anniversary of the awards presented by the independent, nonpartisan Lincoln Academy. She was one of eight recipients this year.
She urged the more than 250 attendees to support the next generation in honor of Abraham Lincoln: "Chicagoans and Illinoisans and Americans who will perhaps be moved by the example of President Lincoln and continue to do all that needs to be done to unify this exceptional country on behalf of the values that he gave his life for."
Kaine, a close ally of President Barack Obama who endorsed the then-Illinois senator over Clinton in the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination contest, said he was joining Ready for Hillary, a super political action committee preparing for a Clinton run.
Clinton received the honor a day after House Republicans announced a stepped-up investigation into the attack on the American compound in Benghazi, Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, in which four Americans were killed.....snip~
