I guess that whatever Lincoln did, then, is fair for Bush to do.

If you watch Fox News (drudgingly I do from time to time) and listen to some of the more ardent party supporters, I gather that's about the jist of it.

Lincoln had to deal with do-nothing generals, a hostile press, the death of a son and a crazy wife.

I'm willing to cut the guy a little slack for what he had to do to save the country.
