"This week comes the previously careful Sen. Barack Obama, flapping his wings in Time magazine and explaining that he's a lot like Abraham Lincoln, only sort of better. "In Lincoln's rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome personal loss and remain determined in the face of repeated defeat--in all this he reminded me not just of my own struggles."

Obama shows a complete lack of sense of history by comparing himself to Lincoln.
What an idiot. (And his ears are too big!)
Lincoln knew when war was necessary, Obama obviously does not. If there was an Obama like minded President in 1860 the Union would have been disolved and the two resulting nations would have warred for many decades.
The next American President above all else should be willing to take premptive military action against Americas' enemies. Is this Obama?
The Alternative would be "possible" military action after more American casualties.
President Obama = A destroyed New York City.
Lincoln was a Black Muslim??
Who knew???
I wonder why they left out THAT little tidbit from the history books.
Maybe Obama will show up at his press conference wearing a stovepipe hat.
I knew Lincoln and you sir, are not Lincoln. LOL What a maroon
If Obama gets elected, I hope he'll free the white people.
Lincoln's ears were too big too. Maybe that's what Obama talking about.
This guy is wearing out his welcome soooo fast.
Remember also that when people pointed out that Bush's tax cuts had good historical precedence -- that JFK had had good success with very similar tax cuts. The Kennedy family stepped forward (seething with rage) and said "How DARE you use the sacred JFK to promote your nefarious Republican schemes --!"
Maybe we could pitch in and buy Obama a stove pipe hat.
...What great achievements has he accomplished to position himself for the highest office in the land?....??????
Or, a better question....WHO is positioning him?
Abebama, I see the connection.......
Looking forward to the Obama head cent collectible from the collectivists in 2050. Can we use them to pay our jizyah? /sarcasm
Notice the ears...
lol
Obamaham Lincoln.
Hold the ham...
B: Obama is going to be the next president.
CCG: But what's he ever done?
B: Have you heard him speak? He's brilliant!
CCG: But he hasn't done anything.
B: He's in the Senate -- they never do anything. But he's brilliant!
CCG: What are some of his brilliant ideas?
B: Have you heard him speak? He's brilliant!
CCG: So he speaks well. I don't think that;s enough.
B: Hmmmmmfff! It's more than Bush has! He can't talk at all! Obama is brilliant!
The people on the todayshow were as happy as can be about this
He looks like Abe a little, around the ears.
If I were Obama, I wouldn't be going to the Ford Theater when sHillary is in town.
You mean he is gonna become a republican??? /S
I turned off Fox and Friends too. They seem to be schilling for RATs all the time anymore. To the point of irritation.
I heard Soros is supporting Osama Obama.
Looks like he stole them from Tony Dungey and put them on upside-down.
I turned them off too, just can't stand all the Anna Nicole Smith coverage and the Barrack Hussein Obama love fest. FNC weekends is all liberal all day. They are losing viewers (as evidenced right here) but don't really seem to care. I can't stand Greg Kelly, he is a liberal weenie. I had not heard ONE word about the outrageous reporting in the WAPO yesterday and the "correction" issued on it. They should be talking about the absolute evidence that the WAPO is clearly in bed with the DNC. They haven't mentioned Rusert's testimony and the revelation he filed a false affidavit -- none of that is covered. Its just entertain fluff.
Compare himself to Lincoln? Why not? They both have two legs, talk English, eat and sleep. Seems perfectly apt.
Any used car salesman can talk very well. Would that qualify him to be President?
Fortunately for Obama the chances of someone saying, "I knew Abe Lincoln. Abe Lincoln was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Abe Lincoln" are pretty slim.
Here come the cartoons.
Also much closer to Lincoln Chafee on a bad hair day.
The MSM has painted him as the product of some sci-fi experiment that cloned Abe, JFK, Washington, and Socrates... with Oprah as the birth mom.
CNN is almost orgasmic in anticipation now.
What happened in the WaPo yesterday? I'm lost now.
Barack Obama, the son of two University of Hawaii students, went to Columbia and Harvard Law after attending a private academy that taught the children of the Hawaiian royal family. He made his name in politics as an aggressive Chicago vote hustler in Bill Clinton's first campaign for the presidency.
You see the similarities. We need a Baraka/Lincoln penny of coinsidences! Funny how whenever these dumbass liberals run, they are always comparing themselves to Republicans like Reagan or Lincoln!
Sure... He's just like Lincoln. Lincoln was also from Illinois.
The WAPO ran a front page article on the IGs report on Intelligence; rather than quote the report, the WAPO "accidently" reported quotes they directly received from Senator Karl Levin, and claimed they were quotes in the IG's report. You can read more about it at Aces (see link below). Here are just two sentences from that site:
"Now you didn't think I was going to stay out of this WaPo "whoopsie" story did ya?"
snip (article and correction posted)
"But what do you know, that report turned out to be the talking points of a Democrat Senator name Carl Levin."
The whole event verifies that the WAPO does not report facts, they receive and print, without editorial review, the talking points they get from the Democrats.

This was my last morning watching Fox and Friends Weekend. This Obama Orgasmic thing is making me ill. Kelly is obviously a big lib and I am thinking Kelly Wright is too. I believe everyone has homed in on the Anna Nicole thing because it is a big change from hearing RAT election garbage and the media's obvious bias for Democrat party. (I just had to puy it that way) I don't think we will hear anything about the WAPO or Russerts testimony in TV reports, if you want to call what the MSMs do "reporting". It is going to be a hard climb for any Conservative because he will get no coverage or fair time, not even on Fox. Actually, I think it is way too early for all this 2008 garbage. I am sick of elections and RATs already.
lol
Mr. Obama said he keeps a photographic portrait of Lincoln on the wall of his office, and that "it asks me questions."
So sHillary talks with Eleanor and Lincoln ask Obama questions? Maybe we should call the guys in the white lab coats to take them away to little rubber rooms where they can their own Yertle the Turtles.
The point of the article is that politicians today seem to lack all humility and are consumed with self-importance to the point where it ceases to be a quiet vanity, but one they must spew to others about.
My theory is that anyone desiring high public office enough to seek it is too ambitious to serve and unfit for the very office sought. It's like a Peter Principle for the political world.
The solution? Let's bring back the smoke filled room, where candidates are drafted by the seniors of their party based on character, qualification, and ability. It wasn't perfect, but it worked better than today's circus that any normal, centered human being would avoid at all costs.
The donks and the media tore Quayle apart for it.
&&
Yeah, but Quayle is a Republican; Obama will be encouraged by the MSM.
I'm sorry! I will not vote for any candidate who prefaces American with any other qualifier when referring to himself.
Italian-American, Polish-American, Native-American, African-American, etc.
The president of the United States should ONLY think of himself as AMERICAN. No qualifiers ever.
Thanks very much. I was lost. I will check out the link.
If Obama gets elected, I hope he'll free the white people.
***
Ding! Ding! Ding! No more calls please. We have a winner!
I had to turn off Fox and Friends this AM....
&&
Same here, but at the time that I was viewing it was non-stop Anna Nicole coverage. I am so sick of hearing about that dead bimbo!!
Would voting for a black simply because he or she is black be a racist act?
Hmmmmm, maybe there is a resemblance!
&&
Can we say that Obama, like Lincoln, is articulate? No, wait, I guess I can say that only about Lincoln. Okay, can I say that both are pretty homely?
And Lincoln was from Kentucky and Obama is from Hawaii. Other than that...
