It’s too early to formulate what President Obama’s legacy may turn out to be. Obama is a great admirer of Lincoln. You’re correct in that respect must be earned. We’ll see…

Obama hitched his star to the most respected President in US history. It might be said he got in on Lincoln’s coattails. It carries an enormous weight for Obama-to be compared to Abe.

he rode a train and used his bible or something, you expected more ?

Yeah, I too would like to know what compares him to Lincoln. Illinois Senator?

Rode a train to Washington, and had the same thing for dinner!

young. ambitious. from illinois.

Lincoln hadn’t done anything before he won the election either.

lesser people have to be compared to great people in order to attain the appearance of greatness

Through blind faith the Democrats have invested all their hope in an individual who has never done anything noteworthy or who they never even heard of before this election started. Without a belief in God or country, a single person is all they have.

To Susan:

Liking Lincoln’s ideas has nothing to do with being Lincoln. Obama will be nothing like Lincoln. Blacks should be thankful for Lincoln. If it wasn’t for him, they will still be in the fields.

One day the South will rise again!! This could be it.

I wonder if he agrees with these Lincoln quotes…

“I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and black races. There is a physical difference between the two, which in my judgment, will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality.

“I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people. I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.”

“If I could save the union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that. What I do about slavery and the colored race I do because I believe it helps to save the union.”

He has done nothing. NYT actually ran a story yesterday about how Lincoln wouldn’t even have supported Obama’s presidency. He didn’t think blacks should be slaves, be he also didn’t think that they were his equal.

It’s just more media crap trying to build Barry Hussein up.

Well, he’s tall and slim built, likes Abe’s ideas, probably will steal some of his lines, but I can’t really think of anything that comes close to comparing the two.

can i intervue you?
