ABA invites Obama to its annual meeting

Law.com (sub. req):

The American Bar Association is seeking to lure President Barack Obama to Chicago this summer as a speaker at its annual meeting. In light of the meeting taking place in the president's hometown this year and given his affinity for Abraham Lincoln, the famous Illinois lawyer turned president whose bicentennial is this year, the association figures it might have a chance of attracting Obama to the meeting, said ABA President H. Thomas 'Tommy' Wells.

Both will be using each other. ABA needs to have Obama as the speaker after chosing Gonzo and Obama needs the ABA because he will have thousands of lawyers to lose their license. Yes Aba would be proud and just think of how much is said now about Lincoln. At lease it will draw people to read the history of the US and our Presidents.
