why the heck did Boehner offer to have the SOTU on Lincoln’s birthday? This almost sounds like Chamberlain & Hitler where Chamberlain offers to do something he thinks Hitler will like in order to appease him.
Will he be taking in the theater later that night?
Gee, I look forward to not watching is moment in history. I would rather watch reruns of anything instead. My BS meter has about run dry listening to this asshat.
You said it well!
That photo shop on Drudge makes the ONE look eerily similar to Lincoln.
Hmm... Hussein seeking some sort of honor at the Oscars.
>> Have we EVER had a Pres..ent so long on symbolism and so short on substance?
He will only be remembered for his Marxism.
He will thus remind the world that not all Illinois lawyers are created equal.
Is he heading to Ford Theatre afterwards?
LLS
Smells like Fort Sumter these days . . .
Appropriate, since Lincoln freed the enslaved, and Obama has enslaved the free....
Obama is trying so hard to go down in history as a modern day Lincoln.
I wonder if he knows about this Lincoln quote:
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
-Fourth Debate with Stephen A. Douglas at Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858 (The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume III, pp. 145-146.)

He'll probably be even more open as to his intentions by using Abraham Lincoln to support his feeeeeeeeeeeelings about Constitutional guarantees.
About habeas corpus:
Defending his position on habeas corpus Lincoln asked concerning a writ of habeas corpus: should everything fail because that one law "made in such extreme tenderness of the citizens' liberty that practically it relieves more of the guilty than of the innocent [cannot] to a very limited extent be violated?" You want "the government itself go to pieces?"
"'Such extreme tenderness of citizens' liberty', harms the Nation," said President Obama. "We yield way too much to accommodate the masses and ignore the government. I have not given them such human rights, former president Clinton is correct when he said that there is too much freedom for them."
< /mockery>
Obama and his followers really believe he’s the 2nd coming of Lincoln, Roosevelt and Christ.
His arrogance is boundless- a good example of why you should not believe your press. But he should be warned- pride goeth before a fall
C’mon folks this should all be obvious to everyone. President Obama is going to use one of Lincoln’s bibles for his swearing in a little more than a week from today and then deliver his state of the union on Abe’s birthday. The symbolism is obvious but this is the president’s and the Democratic Party’s “in your face” swipe at us and they will love every minute of rubbing our noses in it. The GOP establishment wusses still think we can find common ground with these people but they want to mock and ultimately destroy us and this is a subtle reminder of that.
I read the Lincoln movie was nominated for 12 awards. Hmmm..Just in time for the admitted foreign born Kenyans 2nd inauguration after being unconstitutionally elected for a 2nd time even though 3 months later I’m still having a hell of a time finding people who actually voted for this putz.
