[Colonel Kangaroo]

Now we're going in a circle. The reason being I talk about Lincoln and not Davis is that Lincoln is the one falsely portrayed as the 'greatest, infallible, God's gift to America president.'

Considering the treason he was faced with, that's not a bad description of Lincoln.

Har, har. Yeah right. The only thing Lincoln did right was attend Our American Cousin.

"During the Civil War, Lincoln appropriated powers no previous President had wielded: he used his war powers to proclaim a blockade, suspended the writ of habeas corpus, spent money before Congress appropriated it, and imprisoned 18,000 suspected Confederate sympathizers without trial."

I'm sure if Obama did that is this time of war, you'd be pleased as punch...right?
