it is not just that he has never been president before. He has never had any position of major executive responsibility in any kind of organization where he was personally responsible for the outcome.

FWIW, exactly the same could be said of Mr. Lincoln. Prior to being elected president, he'd never run any organization other than a couple of comprehensively failed business ventures in his youth.

It is generally admitted, even by those who despise him, that he is the most effective politician in American history.

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.

FWIW - it is a much more complicated world than the world of Lincoln, which much more facile communications and much more room for trickery on all sides.
