I knew I had seen this somewhere. A really similar version was used in The Daily Show a few episodes ago. Someone posted the image on a blog, here. The clip from the show was taken up by The Huffington Post (here). The execution is slightly different, but the idea is basically identical.

A few days ago Robert Reich tweeted five or so times in a row. They all showed up on my Facebook wall in a reasonable sequence, so I reposted them as a single “essay” in a screen shot (I hope the link works). Lincoln could have split his into multiple parts if he needed, say, 280 or 420 characters to say it.
