North Korean state media authored an unusual letter attributed to former President Abraham Lincoln, criticizing the Obama administration’s North Korean policies as “obsolete and useless.”

The letter even paraphrases Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, from 1863, to call North Korea "the government of the people, by the people, for the people.”
