Lincoln didn’t free any slaves, with the possible exception of his wife’s pair. the emacipation proclamation only referred to slaves in state in open rebellion - where Lincoln had no authority. slavery ended with teh 14th ammendment, passed AFTER his death.

Why do liberals like to over-reach with their analogies?

So now Obama grappling with these debt ceiling issues is just like Lincoln during the Civil War????? Are these people serious???????

Heck Obama isn’t actually dealing with it. He’s trying to push Congress to do something, but he himself is just standing by, waiting.

Is Obama still p**sed off at Eric Cantor? He told Eric Cantor not to call his bluff during the negotiations earlier this month. Now there are negotiations involving the president.

Senator Barack Obama voted against raising the debt ceiling in 2006. Among other things, he said that the need to raise the debt ceiling reflected a failure of presidential leadership.

So is the need to raise the debt ceiling now also a failure of presidential leadership? Especially since this president isn’t leading at all????

Or does the fact that this president is a good Democrat override everything else? We know the president he criticized in 2006 was an evil Republican.

As the Union Army suppressed the rebellion the Federal government's authority expanded to free all slaves in the states that formerly were in rebellion. Which was the whole point and design of the Emancipation Proclamation.
