Beside both being senators from Illinois and being pro-union, what else do they have in common? Doesn't he have more the mind set of Stalin...

Westhill-He does'nt write his speeches Axelrod does...
45- ok thats another one!

I think he said he looks to Lincoln as inspiration. Which in my opnion is a really good president to look up to.---- update: He's been reading a lot of bios ,( which BTW a president who loves reading. Who else is excited about that?) He's doing the team or rivals and not surround himself with YES MEN.
 
Other people have made the comparison.

Reasons: belief in the concept of a UNITED States of America; put former political rivals in his cabinet; former legislator; lawyer; intelligent; conceptual thinker; excellent writer and speaker
 
Other people have made the comparisons.
Obama has said he admires the way Lincoln ran the office by surrounding himself with people who were liable to disagree with him. The term " a team of rivals" has been a little overplayed but it is apt when describing what Obama has put together for his cabinet.

Stalin? Really?

edit
no seriously, really?
 
The common between both are that they saw or believed in a country as Great as America has too Change. I believe All Men are Equil and Lincoln stood on his Faith and Proclaimed that a Black Man or any man should be treated as an Equil-Man... Mr. Obama is standing on his own Principals, Beliefs, and Equality that Change has too be a part of a growing exspireince for America.
In the past Years, This country is not seen as Liberators and a Free Democracy for-all. We tell other countries what we exspect of them! We use Money & Power too Strong arm our way into countries and we even Corrupt them just as badly.
Anyways, Our Leaders in congress and across the USA have become Corrupt, Lier's, and are getting away with it! This change is about making those accountable and we as a nation should be Pist-Off at these Men/Women that do think there Unstoppable or Above the laws.... Thats what Lincoln wanted and My hope is that this is what Obam may want as well.....
 
Lincoln was a good President and if Obama wants to be like him then I'm one happy American. Lincoln held our nation together when it was falling apart not once but twice!

First time was with the Gettysburg address and second was through the civil war. Also he did something just and gave freedom the slaves. So if Obama wants him as a role model then we are in luck.

By the way, it's true Lincoln was a republican and whoever thumb down that answer above only shows ignorance.
 
Obama from Hawaii people forget to mention that he had a seat in the senate from Illinois that doesn't mean he is Lincoln.
 
He doesn't. You've put words into his mouth.

If he starts killing vast swathes of your population and sending people to gulags you can make the comparison to Stalin. In the mean time, since that won't happen, maybe you can actually not insult people with the ridiculous comparison.
