President Barack Obama is set to return to Illinois this month to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday in Springfield.
The Chicago Tribune has confirmed in it's "The Swamp" blog from D.C., that President Barack Obama will return to Illinois this month to celebrate Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday in Springfield.
Obama was invited to the Lincoln Birthday banquet by Illinois' Senior Sen. Dick Durbin.
"Obama had plenty to say about Lincoln on his way to inauguration as the 44th president. On Feb. 12, in Springfield, he'll have a chance to say a lot more," The Swamp reported.
It is expected that he may bring his entire family home to Chicago for an extended President's Day Weekend.
