I think he may be really proud about Obama finally being sworn in today. What about President Kennedy? I am sure they are very proud that they paved the way for todays historical event.

As for Lincoln, no. Everyone has made him out to be this great Civil Leader. And yes he did a wonderful thing freeing the slaves. But in his diaries he talks about black people as being lesser people. He was a racist that was forced into freeing the slaves because of politics.
As for Kennedy, yes I think he would be very proud. He did believe in civil rights and equality. And I think he would recognize in President Obama an elequent, intelligent man worthy of the office.

Dead men can't smile.
Lincoln was an overrated, egotistic president. The Civil War was his fault, and he should have not even started, rather allied with the Confederacy. Uniting the people under common contract, not a common flag.
And as for JFK. He started the Peace Corp. US getting right up in everyone's faces "trying" to help.
And he started Vietnam. Great Job.
They both deserved to die.

If Lincoln was alive, I think he would be proud to have such a strong man in the Presidency. I also think Lincoln like Obama would be so over the nostalgia of this event and wish that everyone would get over the glow and work towards the glory.

No just the opposite.
Saw JFK's speech when he took the oath of office in 1961. I was twelve when he gave it and I was overwhelmed by it.
President Obama did give a good speech but it was nothing to be compared to JFK's.
As to former president Lincoln he and the now president are in no way alike.

I guess they would be smiling if they weren't dead.

I think Lincoln would be rolling over in his grave if he could see the sad state of affairs that this country has created for itself over the years since his day. Don't get me wrong. Nothing really wrong about Obama. Not any more wrong than any other modern politician. The pretenses under which he gained popularity, support, and ultimately the Presidency is another matter entirely.
To vote a guy in by conjuring the support of every anti-war wacko, eco-nut, socialist, globalist, and hollywood kook, while simultaneously hitching a ride on the armageddon express with the likes of Al Gore and his ilk, pandering to the likes of Michael Moore, and every other secretly capitalist publicly communist hypocrite, and then to top it off by giving legitimacy to the lefty freaks out there who feel the need to impale GW Bush with the proverbial stake through the heart for no other reason than because he wouldn't pander to there particular self interests, is an abhorrant way to get someone elected.
Obama may very well do an excellent job, and may very well be quite deserving of the Presidency, despite the illicit means with which it was obtained. I understand politics is a dirty business, and if Obama hadn't appealed to many of these people, someone else would have and he would have likely lost the Presidency. But to use a favorite phrase of Obama himself, "let me be clear", if Obama ends up doing as good a job as some of us are hoping, we need to give the credit to him, not the pompous asses that elected him. Otherwise you might as well put half the country on trial for all the war crimes some of these very same wackos thinks GW Bush is guilty of.
The point is, that for a bunch of largely socialists who claim to be anti-fascist, anti-nationalist, collectivists who are the vast majority of the people responsible for Obamas election, they sure seem awfully fervently proud of America all of a sudden. Looks like a little nationalism to me. Maybe some of these lefty democrats aren't quite as "pure" as they think they are.
Anyways I hope that IN THE END, Obama will do something helpful for this country, whatever it is, DESPITE the haphazard collection of freaks that voted for him.
