“Lincoln’s US budget was $486M (1862); Obama’s India vacation was $500M.”

In defense of Broncho Bamma, Lincoln was working with gold backed Dollars. Bamma is working with fiat dollars backed by ....go...sil....platn....bras... nothing. not a damn thing.
thank you Woodrow Wilson.

I would say the biggest striking similarity between Obama and Lincoln is that Obama is black and Lincoln was white

It is amazing to go back and look at a US budget then. Only a couple or three expenditure items.....the overwhelming largest was Defense.......mostly NIL for welfare....we’ve come a long way, baby!

One of them triggered our first civil war. The second is working hard to replicate that catastrophe.

Lincoln knew the Bible fairly well. soetoro knows more of the quran than the Bible.

Lincoln didn’t change his name, nor would he have had a phoney SSAN.

“One is the worst president...”

I was referring to the confederate general, not Andrew. Stonewall had his quirks, however he did believe in states rights to the hilt, not big GOV.
