Obama is no Lincoln. Lincoln was a natural born citizen, born in Kentucky. Obama never even tried to start a business. He didn't need to. There was always someone to take care of him and pick up the tab and ensure his success.

Lincoln loved his country and wouldn't marry someone who didn't. Lincoln didn't need ACORN to get elected. Lincoln wasn't beholden to money interests like George Soros.

Lincoln wanted to preserve the Union. Obama wants to preserve his position as he continues to campaign for the job he just got.

I’m not fan of Obama, while I am a fan of Lincoln.

I was merely pointing out Lincoln’s remarkable lack of executive experience prior to being elected. Despite being considerably older, he had little or no more executive experience than Obama. Nevertheless, he proved to be a consummately effective Chief Executive, to the point that I believe if anybody else had been president at the time secession would have worked.

This doesn’t mean I think Obama is another Lincoln. It means that our rating of people, such as Lincoln, Obama and Palin, on their “experience” is not necessarily an indication of how well they will perform once in office.
