In what will be a Lincoln-themed inauguration from top to bottom, Obama won't only follow in the footsteps of the former president - he'll also eat like him, it was announced yesterday.

Obama's jampacked Abe-apalooza moved into high gear with an announcement from the Congressional Inaugural Committee that it will hold a luncheon next Tuesday following the swearing-in ceremony that's modeled after foods Lincoln enjoyed.

There is no “emancipating” to be done. Everyone has the same opportunities as everyone else. What we need to instill in America is PERSONNAL RESPONSIBILITY!

I’m an American first and a conservative second. I hope and pray that he doesn’t suck and will piss of liberals in his base as much as GW did conservatives.

Bush had “compassionate conservatism” codeword for amnesty and the largest expansion of the welfare state since LBJ’s great society with Medicare Part D.

Obama’s codeword is “pragmatic conservatism”. Whatever that means.

“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.”

This silly bastard MUST attempt to take the trappings of greatness from others — there are none of those qualities or hope of them in that empty suit Obama....

The arrogant bastard doesn't even believe Americans have a right to see PROOF of his birth in America....
What exactly does that indicate?

If the media continues to carry his water and cover his $hi+ - I hope they suffer the same fate as Obama and his knee walking suckers.

Maybe Barack Fitzgerald Obama will be an apolitical centrist like Nixon, Clinton and Bush. I can only hope.

Where else am I gonna go? I tried to cross the border into Mexico in search of freedom and better economic opportunity last week. Damn Mexican immigration officials arrested me and sent me back to New Jersey.

President Bush and VP Cheney have freed 50 million, more or less.

Zero has freed exactly..... zero.

Now how does the Obamanation dare to pose as the “Great Emancipator” while he and all of the Rat-scum consistently deride and demean Bush & Cheney?

Personally, I do not put “emancipation” of Iraqis or Afghans above fundamental US interests, but I happen to think it was in our interest to crush the depraved govts. in both of those places — whether something better can replace them permanently was never any sure thing, but I think that there has been much progress and can be much more progress.

Again, when it comes to deployment of US military men and women I focus only upon what is truly in our national security interests, not on whether a President wants to be known as another “Great Emancipator” — but while President Bush has already laid claim to the title Obamanation has done NOTHING but NOTHING to claim such a title..... and in fact he has advocated policies throughout that would have left Iraqis under the heel of Saddam Hussein and then Obambi would have surrendered to the worst terrorist mass-murderers in fleeing prematurely from Iraq.

Someone should tell Obama Mr Lincoln’s favorite song was “Dixie.”

Nevermind.

With the absence of classical studies... how did he go from Greek to Lincoln?

Man, I have to find that State of the Black Union clip from Cornell the Red.

I found it:

Oh, he endorsed him at the Apollo right after.

This is the money clip re: Lincoln (some here will appreciate it, he goes even further than the war)

“Obama’s presidency the Hegelian dream that the state, once established, is eternal?”

Probably more along the lines of “L’etat c’est moi.”

I have a theory. He is so obsessed with Lincoln because he believes Lincoln “did not go far enough,” that Lincoln did not give reparations to slaves. He will “finish” the work that Lincoln began. He is the great unifier — he will unite blacks and whites by making getting even with whitey, making him pay for slavery 150+ years ago. Can’t you almost hear it in a speech?

“...Lincoln...uhhh...Emancipation Proclamation...uhhh...slaves...one of the greatest presidents in our uhhh history...”

The speech will include phrases like, “We all are going to have to sacrifice to right this injustice and clean this stain from our national identity.” and “I am going to complete the work that Lincoln began so long ago from my state of Illinois.”

I’m telling you....watch for it. It is coming.

Ok... so you are African American and you are watching this half white, half Kenyan pretend he’s an American Negro. I’d be puking.
Obama isn’t descended from slaves. His parents didn’t have to use the “colored” washrooms. His granny never had to sit in the back of the bus. Yet, he’s acting like this is HIS culture! What a fraud!!! How can REAL “American Negros” (sorry) feel anything but disgust in this whole extravaganza? He’s whoring them out!


Well, “The One” DID get 95% of the Negro vote, 78% of the Jewish vote and 67% of the Latino vote.

Typical Fascist Pap. Egomania at its worst.

Remember this well folks. We are now proceeding down the path of IL Duce and Uncle Adolf.

Over reaching? This is purposeful. Welcome to IL Duce Obama's fascist America.

Il Duce can do NO wrong. Obama is IL Duce Uber Alles!

And Abraham Lincoln will show us the way!!!! ( sarc. off)

And after the inauguration,when you publicly criticize the Obamastard, you will be NAMED a traitor in the media.

And the SS will come for many of us in the night, eventually OR we will receive income tax audits which will ruin us financially.

WEEP AMERICA, WEEP!

And then we must fight for our freedoms.

Hasn't ANYBODY in Journalism read the history of fascism to recognize what is happening?????
