President Obama Met President Lincoln Yesterday in Cedar Rapids

(source)
President Barack Obama was in nearby Cedar Rapids yesterday. But he wasn't the only president passing through Iowa. Former president Abe Lincoln was hanging with the president's other supporters and eventually received a shout-out from the current president:
"Abraham Lincoln is in the house. My homeboy from Illinois and an outstanding Republican endorsee," Obama called to him from the stage when he first arrived.

Abe welcomed the greeting and waved to the president and crowd in very statesmanly fashion.

It didn't take our 44th president long to spot our 16th president. The man stood out among the 1,600 in attendance, dressed in circa 1800s apparel complete with a black top hat and Abraham Lincoln-esque beard.
And why wouldn't Abe Lincoln sport an "Abraham Lincoln-esque beard"?

No word if Lincoln was hunting vampires.
