Thread: Has anyone noticed the similarities between Obama and Abraham Lincoln?

Both were lawyers and worked in civil advocacy.

Both served as junior senators before being elected President.

Both were known for the unabashed honesty.

Both stood for the rights of African Americans.

I agree with some dude on Obama's honesty

Both had common sense to associate with honest Americans.

Oh, no, wait, that was just Lincoln =]

Unabashed honestly? Like how taxes wouldn't be raised if you made more than 250k, then 200k, 150, 120k? And how both he AND Biden voted to raise taxes on Americans making just 41,600 dollars?

YOU MEST UP WHEN YOU SAID "UNABASHED HONESTY"

They were both lawyers, Lincoln worked on a traveling circuit court as a defense attorney. Not exactly civil advocacy.

Lincoln was never a senator. He lost to Stephen Douglas in 1858. He was a 1 term congressman.

Lincoln was honest, book is still out on Obama

Lincoln stood against slavery, it wasn't until the end of the Civil War he stood for any substantial rights for African Americans.

So not that similar at all, other than being from Illinois.

unabashed honesty! You lie as easily as the BO does.

It's not right to mention the word honesty in the same breath with Obummer or have you already forgotten campaign finance or that he didn't know Ayers or saying he didn't know Wright said racist things in church.
You must live in a cave.

I agree with you except on the last point. Both stood for the rights of ALL people.

yes hes an excellent candidate

mccan't is just like BushHitler

Except that Lincoln was a commoner, a Republican who freed the slaves.

Obama is an elitist product of the most corrupt political machine in America (Chicago) and hasn't done squat.

Ya, other than that they are exactly the same.
