In an interview on NBC's Nightly News, "Lincoln" director Steven Spielberg drew comparisons between the iconic 16th president, and Barack Obama.
"Lincoln advocated things that we hold dear today, like class warfare, gay marriage, and giving everybody a free cell phone," said Spielberg. "He advocated that government can be a positive force for the good of all people, especially if you're lazy and not white."
Interviewer Kevin Tibbles went on to equate the turbulent times of Lincoln's presidency (Civil War, slavery, etc.) with the "partisan bickering" of Obama's. Tibbles' comment reportedly earned him a starting spot in next year's Major Media Special Olympics.
obamma will need to git a lot more of our people killed before he can be compared to lincoln or even lyndon johnson. may they all burn in hell
Obama (Again) Compared To Lincoln and remember Lincoln was shot in the head by an actor
The MSM’s Love Affair with Obama is real and true. To not know him is to love him!
Unbelievable.
The real Lincoln wanted to ship all the Africans back to Africa. It’s true and easy to look up.
We live in a Pravda style USA now, where history is being whitewashed and rewritten on a daily basis.
The best thing that we can ALL do, is TURN OFF THE TV’S, AND START READING.
I think I’m gonna be sick now....
Why hasn’t it been reported that 0bama has also been compared to the devil,
Marx, Stalin, Mao ....
HA! Quite right! :-)
Obama makes Bill Clinton look like Honest Abe.
Yeah, I’ve been feeling sick since last Wednesday morning. I can’t seem to shake it.
Good one, Bobalu!
We’ve come full circle, Haffast! :-/
Satire.
You must be thinking of jefferson. Lincoln - and Robert E. Lee supported voluntary emigration.
Obama is no Abraham Lincoln. People are ignorant if they suggest the two are similar in any way. Mr. Lincoln worked hard both physically and intellectually to work his way out of poverty. Obama had everything handed to him on the silver platter of affirmative action and other sinister forces that I suspect helped finance the fiction that is Obama.
The reality of Abraham Lincoln, he was a natural born American who became President. The fiction of Abraham Lincoln he was a vampire slayer.
The fiction of Obama, he was born an American citizen, so he was eligible to run for and be elected President.
The reality of Obama, he was born an American citizen with British citizenship rights which should preclude him from running for president because people with foreign citizenship or foreign citizenship rights are not eligible to become President of the U.S.
Yep. And besides all that, I don’t believe Lincoln hated America.
