Obama does not believe in the INALIENABLE rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
He is the anti-Lincoln.

McGovern....has maybe one synapse left at this point, and apparently it is not a healthy one.

I hope so ... I fear a second Carter or, judging by his cabinet picks, a second Clinton.

Sure he is! Minus the whole war and slavery thing. Oh and the beard. And the top hat.
He does have the pain-in-the-%@&$ wife that he has to make excuses for. Does that count?

Barack Obama Is a ‘Second Lincoln’
Well, he may end up presiding over another civil war... but that's about where the similarities stop. Lincoln was an intelligent, humble, self made and selfless man. zerO is none of those.

Couldn’t McGovern at least wait to make that comparison until BO had at least accomplished something? I guess one just can’t take George seriously.
To: rabscuttle385
Bad enough we don’t even celebrate Lincoln’s Birthday any more - now they want to diminish him even further by comparing him to Obama.

If not the anti-Christ.
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
