“”It’s always good to model yourself after a great president,” said Eric Foner, a professor of American history at Columbia University. “The proof will be in the pudding.””
Here’s some ‘pudding’ for Barak about slavery.
In a response to a New York Tribune editorial he wrote a letter to Editor Andrew Greeley explaining why slaves were being freed. He stated:
“My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union”
Too bad Obama and the rest of our ‘leaders’ aren’t willing to stop the race baiting to save our ‘union’.
Ironic that 0bama attempts to drape himself with the trappings of Lincoln who, de facto, ended slavery in America (even if it wasn’t his intent),
while Zero embraces policies that enslave more Americans than ever were during pre-civil war America.

Birds of a feather: Eric Foner, “neo-Marxist professor of history ...”
His ancestors were slave traders!!! Why are descendants of slaves in the US so happy with his election??
Thank you for giving me a bit of information that my history teachers failed to bring up.
“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.”
