I was really impressed that he remembered Abe Lincoln's name

His recall of such an obscure politician is even more astounding than being able to recite 'person, woman, man, camera, TV'

Of course, his indignation at being treated worse than Lincoln, despite being so much better a President, may have helped fix the name in his mind

Perhaps he can continue to play this theme. Lincoln invited Frederick Douglass into the White House. He could, say, recognize the amazing job Douglass has done by extending a similar invitation himself
