Gov. John Hickenlooper (D) said Monday that Abraham Lincoln “wasn’t a great debater” during a visit to the Obama campaign field office in Denver, Colo., according to Denver West Word reporter Sam Levin.

"...Actually Abe was one of the finest speakers of his time.

No teleprompter needed."

Lincoln's teleprompter was writing his speech on the flat side of an axe head with a hunk of chalk, then staking the axe into the ground by it's handle.

Joe Biden will disagree and say Lincoln was a great debater. Joe Biden will have memories of hearing Lincoln speak.

...but President Lincoln DID end the Civi War in less time than the Kenyan pretender has been in office. And spent less doing it!

[CMAC51]

That’s why the Lincoln - Douglas debates were so famous.

Didn’t Biden see Abe on TV like FDR? (Of course Abe was in re-runs)

[Bluestocking]

If not by doing well in the Lincoln-Douglas debates, how does Governor Hickenlooper think Abraham Lincoln won the presidency — by taking money from Tony Rezko and the teachers unions?

There is a monument in my town where one took place. Will there be a monument to this fool standing in 150 years?

Another uninformed Democrat heard from. These are the people who think they should be running your life.

I don’t know if this is true or not.

Lincoln participated in the most famous debates in our history, they might be pretty famous world wide even.

Lincoln lost the election to Stephen Douglas, but how about the debates? Who was judged the winner?

And you know, more on point to the Governor - pre-TV age so whole ‘nother kettle of fish!

And the kind that pushed obamacare through....

“What the blank could possibly go wrong?”

They better zip it - they are giving lots of ammo to Romney. Hopefully, he will give them a lesson on Lincoln!

Too funny for words!

Hussein Obama had to marry his beard.

Bill Clinton is a master baiter.

[SoFloFreeper]

Lincoln determined the best thing for blacks was freedom from slavery...Obamugabe is determined to make men of ALL races enslaved to government.

So there is a huge difference between the two.

[Northern Yankee]

Desperate and stupid is no way to go through life Governor.

Time to put him on double secret probation.
