Being ugly and having a wart on his face, I can’t see any comparison.

The only two Lincoln and Obama have in common? Neither was born in Illinois and both have big ears.

“Emanuel made his remarks specifically in reference to Obama’s decision to provide a financial bailout to General Motors in 2009”

It sure takes “vision” to use other peoples’ money to bail out labor union thugs who just happened to support your campaigns.

“ability to see a clear road where everybody just sees fog”

Proof that O-Buh-Mah is an idiot, in denial, and out of touch with reality.

I didn’t know Rahm hated 0bama that much; Lincoln went out with a bang.

Heh. Well, I liken Rahm to Josef Goebbels, so I guess we’re even.

They were both born in places that begin with K-E-N. The similarities end there.

Sorry Rahm. There is no comparison. Lincoln was an American who loved this country. Your boy...

Neither Lincoln OR Obama were known for their ability to read and understand the US Constitution, Bill of Rights, much less appreciate the subtlies of the Federalist Papers.

IMHO....somebodies got designs on the ‘Bamster...hope the SS is up to it

I fear Obama may well suffer the same fate as Old Abe.

There is a huge similarity between Lincoln and Obama. Lincoln was born in Kentucky and Obama was born in Kenya. Kentucky - Kenya - Kentucky which spells out KKK which relates to persecution of blacks...Lincoln freed the slaves and Obama is partially black. Coincidence? I think not.

So, lying about Benghazi by constantly blaming it on a filmmaker instead of the terrorists is a “clear road” (Rahm quote) and not the “fog of war”? (Hillary quote)
