re: "Obama’s ‘Lincolnesque’ Train Ride"

James Joyner at Outside the Beltway ("an online journal of politics and foreign affairs analysis") notices something that was nagging at my consciousness.

Money quote(s):

"Barack Obama has been in DC for days and days. Half of DC was shut down so he and his family could stay at the Hay-Adams and his girls could start at their $30,000 a year (each!) private school on time. We know he was still in town as late as Thursday afternoon, where the objective reporters of the Washington Post were going ga-ga over his visit.

So, why in blazes is he pretending that this is 1860 and he’s arriving in DC for the first time from his home state?
