Hillary Flunks U.S. History, Claims Lincoln Was A Senator…
The gaffes continue to pile up for Cankles.
Quote:(CHICAGO) – At Wednesday’s Rahm Emanuel-Hillary Clinton show for her book tour, there was another Hillary gaffe.
Hillary’s gaffe was putting Abraham Lincoln of all people in the wrong office. It came up as she was talking about her rivalry with Emanuel in the White House.
“I actually write about Rahm in the book,” Clinton said. “I asked him not to read it before we sat and did our interview!

Lincoln was a state legislator (not state senator) in Illinois, as was Obama (a state senator, then US senator). So, she missed the level of government that he served in. There is a parallel, though not a good one.
