How dare you compare Obama to Lincoln!
You’re a troll!

Lincoln’s govt. experience before being elected POTUS consisted of four (2 year) terms in the US House..... so, no, Lincoln did not have a whole lot of federal/national experience...... but if the Obamanators try to raise this point the answer should be “OBAMA, YOU ARE NO ABRAHAM LINCON!!!”

Of course, Lincoln had served as a Captain in the Illinois state militia in wartime (Blackhawk War) and had other experiences Obambi can’t claim.

Still, Lincoln and Woodrow Wilson were probably about the two most ‘inexperienced’ Presidents upon election (Wilson had merely 2 years as Governor of NJ). Lincoln turned into a great President and Wilson the Democrat turned out to be an overeducated (mis-educated) fool. Guess which of these two Obambi shares more in common with??

Ditto Jean.
It is asinine to compare Obama to Lincoln in terms of experience. If you take a percent of experience to strategic knowledge of the time, Lincoln was still heads and tails above Obama. Strategic knowledge of the time involved, initially primarily militias with weapons any person could, and did use. Now, strategic knowledge requires managing billions of dollars worth of equipment, placing strategic pieces all over the world and balancing the interests of hundreds of allies and treaties. Lincoln also had a core philosophical base that makes Obama seem like a McDonald's fry cook.
