Thread: Why is Abraham Lincoln thought of as a good president?

honest abe ha. ha. just like bush he was a low life liar. they both started a war by lying to the american people. and no i dont think bush will be honored by history . people were by large more ignorant of what went on on the govt. back then because they didnt have acess to news coverage like we do now

He was a politician who will say and do anything he can benefit from and hide the truth whenever possible. He was a bad pres.

But he fought long and hard to hold this country together. Bush seems to be bound and determined to shatter it. I do not think Bush will be looked on in the same way Lincoln is

Safe from terrorism? By inciting hatred all over the world? By torturing and giving fuel to extremism? By tearing apart a country, displacing 5 million, killing 1 million others, and expecting everyone to march with American flags towards "democracy" and "prosperity"?

And why do you continue to disregard 9/11? Surely receiving a presidential briefing entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Attack USA" and doing nothing about it is a failure?
