President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama meet a look-alike of one the White House's former residents: Abraham Lincoln! Read on for the details...
"CBS Evening News" anchor Katie Couric was also on hand as the president and first lady took the Ford's Theatre stage on Wednesday night to receive a copy of Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address.
It was all part of the grand reopening celebration of the theatre, which underwent a reported 18-month, $25 million renovation -- and opened it's doors again just in time for the 200th anniversary of President Lincoln's birth on Feb. 12, 1809.
Ford's Theatre is also the site where Lincoln was assassinated in 1865.
