Obama: I’m Dealing with Debt Issue Like Lincoln Dealt with Slavery (Video)

During a discussion with college students at the University of Maryland last week, President Obama compared his current struggles with the debt ceiling debate negotiations with Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation.

Unconstitutionally, while creating a war for the sake of his ego?

And half the country will be devastated when he's done.

So to complete the analogy, Lincoln wanted to end the slavery crisis by bringing in or breeding more slaves as he eliminated slavery in some places so there’d be a balance.

Know your audience:

Many(not all)College kids will believe Obama.

When Obama uses the slavery issue regarding the debt, he is implying that without a big government, you college kids will be ‘slaves’ to BIG BUSINESS.

In Obama’s world Big Business is the slave master and government is the savior/great equalizer. The college kids are taught this propaganda lie by their professors so naturally they will believe it.

“And half the country will be devastated when he’s done.”

Sadly, that’s most likely true. At least Obama was historically accurate in stating that Lincoln had no priority [or interest] to free the slaves, but maintaining the “Union” (at whatever cost).

Obama will likewise attempt to maintain and expand FedGov control of everything, illegally and at great human cost. Whether he will be successful remains to be seen, few are standing up to the tyranny, but I suspect all hope is not lost.

If I understand the analogy correctly:

1. He wants to free people not under his jurisdiction while keeping people under his jurisdiction enslaved.

2. He wants to suspend habeas corpus to keep his image untainted while deporting citizens with differing opinions.

3. He hopes to kill hundreds of thousands of patriots for his own ends.
