and himself? Obama has done NOTHING! What makes him even think that he can hold a candle to Lincoln? Lincoln sacrificed for the country. Obama has sacrificed for NO ONE!
Isn't Obama arrogant for even trying to make a connection between Lincoln

- arrogant connection lincoln make obama
He may not have sacrificed, but he has inspired a lot of folks. In these cynical times when all our leaders seem to have ulterior motives that is a big deal.
The connection with Lincoln continues the theme of emancipation, of letting people dream. We all achieve according to our capabilities, but it is often like we need permission to succeed. Like until Roger Bannister broke the 4 minute mile record no one thought human beings could do it, but once he did then the record was broken several times over in the ensuing months.
So with Obama becoming prez, its like giving ourselves permission to think big.

Because no one knows who the real Obama is. First he was the new JFK (remember Clinton was also touted as the new JFK). Guess he got tired of that. Next month,he'll be Napoleon.

You just don't get the details, do you?
Obama does not say he is like Lincoln. He says he is inspired by Lincoln.
Got it now? Or will you come back with another rant?

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing
about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black
races - that 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; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical
difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever
forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.
And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there
must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other
man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race.
I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is
to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything."

His koolaid drinking cult followers don;t care he's accomplished nothing. They don't care that he's the single most unqualified person to ever hold office. They dont care that his policies are socialist and run contrary to everything the founding fathers envisioned America would be. You see, these are FACTS and liberals don;t assimilate facts well -- they're all about EMOTION.

I think he has done much more good things than Bush has done in 8 years, not even being president.
But it's not like he is another Lincoln, and I won't compare them that's not my business.

It was arrogant to mock up a Presidential seal for his podium before the election. Imitating Lincoln is just flattering a great President.
He could turn out to be a wonderful president. I doubt it both because he doesn't seem qualified and the deck is horribly stacked against him, but it could be.

He's done pretty much what Lincoln did before he became President. Worked as a Lawyer. Served in the Illinois Legislature for about 6 years. Had one term in congress. Gave brilliant orations.
And he was elected handily, so you have to accept it and get over your anger.
