President Obama, I’ve read about Abe Lincoln, I’ve heard family stories about Abe Lincoln, Abe Lincoln is actually a distant cousin of mine. Barack Obama, you’re no Abraham Lincoln!

Nope, I won’t say it wouldn’t be prudent.

LOL! What an embarrassing butt-sucking love note! Good thing the MSM has no memory, no sense of irony, and no humility. Otherwise, they couldnt live with themselves.

“Each rocketed onto the national political stage with powerful speeches and became commander-in-chief without any military experience.”

Startling ignorance! Ever heard of the Blackhawk War? Look it up!

“Each became a lawyer...”

But only Lincoln actually practiced law. Obama used his degree to...I don’t know what. Tell old ladies where to pick up welfare checks?

future:

The elections of Both Obama and Lincoln precipitated state to secede and the subsequent Civil Wars that ensued.

Good old Abe...The Great Emancipator...except the Emancipation Proclamation freed ZERO slaves! From a .gov website: "the Emancipation Proclamation was limited in many ways. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in the loyal border states. It also expressly exempted parts of the Confederacy that had already come under Northern control. Most important, the freedom it promised depended upon Union military victory."

How many historical errors are in this piece? SeeBS can put this out this out there because they know they are one of the entities whose propaganda has contributed to the dumbing down of America and they know what they can get away with it.

Exactly what powerful speeches were they from Obamao? Why is it (asking the obvious) that it’s the RATS who are always characterized as the great speechmakers? The Cape Cod Orca, Jesse HiJackson, the Sfacim, Bildo Klintoon, and now Obamao always make the SRM swoon when they take to a podium.We really need to do something about separation of media and state.

So — he’s a lawyer from Illinois with no political or military experience ... and Lincoln is the parallel he comes up with? There are a lot of inexperienced lawyers from Illinois that are complete schmucks. Good grief.

Weird, I seem to remember Lincoln was, in fact, in a skirmish or two.

So will the last words Barry hears be "Sic semper tyrannis"?


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.
