I love it when Barack Obama talks about treasure

He's invoking Lincoln. "We may congratulate ourselves that this cruel war is nearing its end. It has cost a vast amount of treasure and blood." It's from a letter Lincoln wrote to a general in the civil war, and from a couple of his speeches.

Oh, now I get it.

So Lincoln was a pirate too?
