I said this before and I will say it again. I rather be called a socialist than a terrorist. Its amazing he even puts the two in the same comparison. pathetic.
Lincoln was a Republican in the 1860's. It's 2011 for crying out loud. He ran against a person from the Constitutional Union Party! The parties are nothing alike nowadays! Saying Abe Lincoln is a Republican is like saying Thomas Jefferson is a Democrat. Get a grip!
if there is no comparison between republicans then and now why is Obama going down the road of comparing himself to Lincoln? Why aren't you critical of Obama for making that comparison? I'm using your logic BTW. edit: which i think is correct BTW and why I'm calling Obama a cry baby
Um, it sounds to me like he is comparing the insults lobbed at Lincoln to insults lobbed at him. In fact, he mentions insults lobbed at other Presidents as well. Apparently you only picked Lincoln so you could make this stupid thread. Is this seriously what you people do all day? "Oh, I can twist his words to start another (*)(*)(*)(*)ing stupid thread!"
Obama, besides being clueless, is a self serving, arrogant ass clown. He's managed to crap all over our health care system, drive our debt up trillions, cut our domestic oil suppy, lost jobs, is unable to help with real estate crisis, prevented states from protecting themselves against illegal immigrants, crapped on the US and our allies and insulted them, divided our country even more on race, managed to have the first downgrade of our credit EVER, and you still defend this guy like he's god's gift to the US. That's pathetic.
So then why is Obama referring to the GOP history instead of the democrats. As I said he is in campaign mode and is moving back to the center
I picked Lincoln because he said Lincoln was insulted Almost as much as he has been. its pathetic, the cry baby president. how many other presidents in recent history complained about how they are treated.
The D-Baggers have gone to extremes by calling the Tea Party terrorists and hostage takers...sorry but being called a socialist, is not like being called a terrorist or hostage taker. Ubama ain't NO Lincoln.
I've heard Clinton and the Late Carter so all of my lifetime, must be something in the Presidential Democrat water?
It isn't as if Obama called a press conference to compare the insults he was receiving to those that Lincoln received. He was answering a bloody question. Take that into context and stop making these stupid threads. Try thinking about something for a change.
He also lies he denies Biden called the tea party terrorist [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cwROLDjTqGs"]TEA Partier Confronts Obama on Terrorist Remark - YouTube[/ame]
Why does it seem like every single president compares themselves with Lincoln? It is not fitting, for any of them.
