Lincoln was devisive enough to oversee a domestic civil war. Obaba perhaps is signaling the same?

Even the liberal pundits over the weekend didn't think he'd be this crass. They expected this in the SOTU next month. Inaugerations are supposed to be uplifting affairs, and Zero's idea of "uplifting" is continuing to bash, bash and bash.
Obama’s “Lincoln-esque” priority checklist:
1) Suspend habeas corpus
...coming soon, IMO.
I’ve seen some recent writers saying that was a legitimate use of presidential power during wartime. I think there was a group of English nobles back in 1215 who might beg to differ.
DUFUS ALERT!
I respectfully disagree.

This speech was an abomination.
Talk about delusional. He is the worst president of all times
Who?
I won't argue that obama is shaping up to be the worst, I argue that Lincoln was not "the greatest", that's all.

Barack Obama is inviting the world to compare him not just to good presidents but to the greatest in American history.
BWAhahahahahahahahaha....
I just sent him 2 tickets to the ford theatre.
Lincoln...who determined once and for all that we would have a powerful central government and state sovereignty be damned...was the beginning of the end.
Obama is the end.
didn’t the communists use lincoln during the spanish civil war?
I know there was the lincoln brigade in the old tv miniseries called “Amerika”.
There were two battalions of American volunteers fighting for Republican Spain, the Abraham Lincoln Battalion and the George Washington Battalion. Losses were heavy, so the two were merged and came to be known as the Lincoln-Washington Battalion. In looking back they came to be known as the Lincoln Brigade, though that wasn’t actually correct.
There is a Lincoln Center in Havana which I believe is dedicated to the Lincoln Brigade which fought on the side of the communists in the Spanish Civil War.
And......he upstaged Martin Luther King. MLK day became Obamas day, you have to laugh at the irony.
It's all coming together!
The conspiracy must be bigger than we've ever dreamed!

Communists used Washington and Lincoln as symbols in the 1930s.
Nazis used Washington and Lincoln as symbols in the 1930s.
It doesn't mean either man would have supported them.
The totalitarians just used symbols that would appeal most to Americans at the time.
