Well it’s kind of good news that he wasn’t very efficient at it, isn’t it?
It’s marvelous that Obamacare needs more band-aids than a Walgreens has. Once sanity has returned to Washington, nobody will want to keep it. It’ll be laughed out as the hunk of junk it is.
When be speaks of the gifts of Lincoln that he does not have,
he is talking about his lack of leadership and his hatred of the USA.
Who said “Argue With Neighbors, Get In Their Face”
His historical legacy and any comparison with former Presidents is limited to Jimmy Carter. There are no other valid comparisons.
Now the neighbors are arguing back and getting back in their faces.
What does that mean?
You’re right; both Obamas squandered an opportunity to provide some real inspiration for blacks, and instead drove them further into victimhood. Ferguson/Baltimore are stains on Obama’s legacy; it should forever be remembered that they occurred several years into our first mulatto president’s tenure. He failed them.
1/24/09 First meeting the new President had with the loyal opposition to discuss how to work together, he said, “I won”. And it’s been downhill from there.

Yes he did... and Hillary would be worse...
He “acted stupidly”.
The polarized rancor is ALL the result of he and his 1960’s era Weather Underground/Black Panthers/Chicago Seven/Get-in-their-faces/Saul Alinsky embracing radicals.
Lincoln was in office for 49 months. For 48 of the 49 months, Americans were shooting at each other. To be sure, Lincoln did not try to make things worse by his rhetoric, as Obama does.
Obama race baited his own grandma to become president.
I read the whole thing, but I wondered whether thos guy was dishonest or just a bozo, to put forth the idea that Hussein didn’t actively want it this way, after all his racial grandstanding. I can say this much, unintentionally, he has given more whites than he may ever realise, a wake-up call. I only hope that it wasn’t a late alarm.
I tend to agree with you BUT I have watched UK politics keenly for years.
The problem when politics take over medicine is that medicine will eventually take over politics.
Parliamentary debates there regularly involve funding tugs-of-war with vital operations, drugs, treatments, staffing, etc. held hostage by MPs. And then there is the inconvenient fact that there is no money to pay for it all and that the sick and aged must become ‘health tourists’ or simply ‘go private’ at great expense. Elite athletes who could pay for their own care must travel - often to the US - for expert surgery because the NHS is a lowest-common-denominator provider.
This sort of life-and-death power vested in government was much more appealing to Obama and like-minded people than so-called cost savings.
I want the Obamacare monstrosity to fail as badly as you but instances of politicians giving up the reins of power over any person, place or thing are as rare as lunar eclipses.
I’m not sure Lincoln would be my example of “bridging the partisan divide”.
