...expected to lose reelection? They always say "Bush is bad" and ignore history. Right?

Why do Dems ignore how despised Lincoln was in the North in early 1864? He was...

Its a scary thought, but you're probably right. The only difference between a good president and a bad president is how well their PR was handled after they left office.

Lincoln was a republican, but at the time Republican and Dems were exact opposite parties of what they are today, hence why a lot of older southern men still only vote dem no matter (doesn't make any sense but I have seen it all my life). Lincoln did nearly lose to a Georgian man John C. Frémont, and the General he had previously demoted from commanding general,George B. McClellan. It was during 1863 his advisers asked him to change the view on the war to being about slavery and freedom of all people. This ultimately won him the election and changed the whole course of history and how he himself was viewed. Most history books do not make much of a mention to this, as history is written by the winners. I have mixed feelings about Lincoln, I believe it was treason to call up an Army against the Confederacy when everything they did was legal by the constitution, but I do believe he would have done a remarkable job during the rebuilding had he not been assassinated, his vice president (Johnson) who continued with his work against the radical republicans wishes not been impeached, and the drunken a**hole hadn't of taken his place.

He started an unnecessary war with the south with his unwillingness to compromise.
Slavery was legal in the north after the civil war until the 13th ammendment.
Anyone who agreed with compromise was labeled a copper head snake by his administration. And his demonization of the south is still alive and well in the north today even though slavery was legal ALL OVER AMERICA not just the south.

Are you joking? NO historian I know would put Bush in the same category as Lincoln. Lincoln was a Republican....He wasn't perfect. Unlike you, we can look past his imperfections and see that, overall, he was a goo President. Bush MAY be judged diffrently in the future....but in the present, NO historian agrees with you that he was a 'good' President.
