Why compare Obama to Lincoln, when Obama doesn't follow what Lincoln said?

It would serve this country well if we all heeded this sage advice.

Wise Words of a Politician from the Past....Abraham Lincoln

You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich.
You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong.
You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift.
You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down.
You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred.
You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence.
You cannot help people permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.

Other Lincoln quotes:

"Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration." Lincoln's First Annual Message to Congress

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan"

What is conservatism? Is it not adherence to the old and tried, against the new and untried?" Lincoln's Cooper Institute Address

Lincoln was a down state Republican conservative. There is no comparrison to Obama. In fact Linclon had to fight these Chicago hacks even back then.

Star for you- great post, it speaks directly to the heart of what is wrong in todays society.
I think Obama was actually refering to his lack of experience given that Lincoln created the party now known as the Republicans..

Sorry, Lincoln never said that.

It was William J. H. Boetcker. You have fallen for Republican propaganda again.

You have to stop watching Fox Entertainment News. It will rot your mind.


Why is it that all of the dishonest Republican smears against Democrats are so factually challenged?
