That should tell you something right there.
Great Point.
Poor to ever compare anyone to Lincoln.
His situation is a conundrum. Not clear how good he was. We are very divided on this.
And I ask: please take note how much libs love Lincoln.

Please take note too how many normals revere him as well. That should tell you something right there.

That tells me nothing. For over a century, Lincoln was respected and even revered in the Northern and Western part of the country, particularly by Republicans. He wasn't that popular with Democrats.
Now that the Northeast and West Coast are Democrat strongholds and the South is largely Republican, Democrats are appealing to Northerners and Republicans to Southerners, so some old attitudes seep from party to party.
But you do realize that it was in Obama's political interest to play up the Lincoln connection, since they both found a home in Illinois. It was a way of winning votes.
I don't recall any great interest in Lincoln from the Clintons or most other Democrats (Mario Cuomo may have been an exception because he had advisors telling him that he was Lincoln reincarnated).
Lincoln was an extreme Liberal for his era.
