Oh, I get it.
The NY Times is saying Obama’s critics are just like Lincoln’s, racist (”sympathetic to slavery”) and unpatriotic. With the 150th of the Emancipation Proclamation this year, get ready for more of this Chicago-style race-baiting crap, another naked attempt to smear anyone who isn’t a leftist.
HOWEVER, the comparison isn’t a good one, because Lincoln did not try to deliberately menace the US economy, especially the energy sector, like Obama has. Lincoln didn’t try to kill coal-mining, or stall oil distribution (Keystone), or attack anyone successful as being suspect, just because they were successful.
Obama HAS done all of that, and more.
Obama is no Lincoln. Remember that this year, amid all the leftist adulation.
Hooray for the Copperheads.
Lincoln praised the Declaration of Independence in almost every speech he made. Obama disdains that document.

This is from their online Civil War Sesquicentennial blog, not from the newspaper.
Not everything is about Obama.
