I think Abe Lincoln would be just as confused as I am. P/E in my opinion has taken his infatuation with Lincoln a bit far.


BARACK OBAMA
In Obama Train Trip, Echoes of Lincoln
By Anne E. Kornblut
Following in Abraham Lincoln's steps once more, President-elect Barack Obama is planning to travel by train to Washington ahead of his inaugural next month -- starting in Philadelphia, where Lincoln delivered an address while en route to the District from Springfield, Ill., in 1861.

Obama and his family will ride a special charter train, an inaugural spokeswoman said. From Philadelphia, they will make a journey familiar to commuters along the Northeast corridor: riding to Wilmington, to pick up Vice President-elect Joe Biden and his family; then on to Baltimore, for another event. Obama's trip will take place on a single day -- Saturday, Jan. 17 -- and wind up in Washington that night, making for a less arduous journey than the multiweek trip Lincoln took in February of 1861
 
Lincoln's real father was NATIVE AMERICAN so I would think he would be proud.

See Elvis.
 
I think so. Even with all that Lincoln did for the black people, he still did not consider them equal with whites, but he abhorred the way they were being treated, for one thing. For another, there has been NOTHING that Obama has done to show himself parallel to Lincoln. He is vain, self-gratifying, and those people are usually the ones that look like asses in front of everyone else.
 
I imagine he would laugh himself silly.

I am a bit sick of Obama and his minions.. thinking he is either..Lincoln, Kennedy, the second coming of Christ.. or all three.

He has already lied to us.. and hiding things... he is nowhere near any of those I listed.

We will be lucky for him to be mediocre. However, he will always be named the first black president.. and I think that really was his ultimate goal... too bad he is of mixed race.
 
Obama doesn't compare himself to Lincoln.


The Republicans on here do so they bash Obama.
 
Lincoln was a product of the moral zeitgeist of his time.
He didn't think black people should be equals; he stated that white people should be the superior race. His emancipation proclamation (which was almost useless, since it only applied to the Southern states where Lincoln's words held no power) was purely for economical reasons and to help the North. He was apprehensive about freeing the slaves.

So I'm betting the if he had the ability to see Obama get inaugurated, of course he would role over in his grave. He may have "freed" the slaves, but this was certainly not his vision of America.

Sorry to say it, but that "great American hero" we learn about in 2nd grade is not quite so glorious when you consider the reality of the mentality at that time. Obama is hardly like Lincoln.
 
More childish answers and questions. Do you not get bored starting things up. Lincoln freed the slaves, learn history. He would be proud of how the country is starting to come together. That is unless he read your question.Oh...he does not compare himself to Lincoln by the way!
 
No he would say what a wonderful country this is that we could look past our racist beginnings to forge a new outlook. He would also say to the critics stop attacking this guy when he hasnt taken office yet. a.k.a Stop being Haters and do something with your lives......
