Abe Lincoln was a founder of ours; President Elect Obama, you're no Abraham Lincoln.

Abraham Lincoln was not a “Founder”
He may be looked on as a “preserver”, but all the “Founders”
were long dead before his time.
Your other points are valid though.

Obama has a lot in common with Lincoln. Neither puts much stock in the Constitution or the sacrifices of other when they interfere with their vision of the country or the role of the federal government.

I'm sure they would have been alternately fascinated and appalled at the state of the Union in 1861. And by the outcome of the War also... I don't doubt they would have had a lot of advice for President Lincoln.
Interesting topic for speculation.

Historically-literate Americans laugh at the conceit of a run-of-the-mill Marxist-Leninist comparing himself (by inference) to Lincoln. But the unions got hold of the public schools two generations ago and have produced a dumbed down populace. That is one of Obama’s greatest strentghs.

Maybe if Obama grows a beard and wears a tophat, or whatever it’s called, there could be a resemblance./s

I think he is looking for his Sherman and Grant as we speak. I don’t think he will find them in the military though.

I was driving behind a guy with Illinois plates the other day and the state motto “Land of Lincoln” gave me pause to consider how long it is before there is a movement to either replace “Land of Lincoln” with “Land of Obama” or change it to “Land of Lincoln and Obama”. Probably a lot sooner than Obama will prove himself worthy of being held in anything close to the esteem of Lincoln.

Lincoln did nothing but kill Americans.
I reckon it’s something to look up to.

I think the poster was refering to founding the GOP not the Nation..
