COUNTDOWN: 100 Days and 100 Reasons - #75

By Correctamundo  

Every day, I’ll be counting down to election day 2012.  And every day, I’ll be giving you a reason why you SHOULDN’T vote for Obama. So let’s continue the countdown!

Reason #75: He’s sullied the name of the greatest President ever: Abraham Lincoln.

I’m sure you, like me, have seen numerous accounts of Obama being compared to Honest Abe.  There’s our first problem right there: honesty. I don’t know how this phenom started or why, other than Obama once said Abe was his favorite president.  Beyond that, you have to stretch your imagination just a bit.

At the website Barack Obama: The Life, the Journey, and the Leadership Traits of the 44th President of the United States, they have a page dedicated to the comparison of the two.  Here are some highlights:

Speaking: Obama is able to inspire through speaking. Getting straight to the hard issues while still creating the feeling of national unity for his listeners is a skill that is close to Lincoln’s amazing speaking abilities.

Creating the feeling of national unity – really?  Do these sound like unity to you?

Obama's Class Warfare Tactics Divide Americans.

Obama foments racial division: President inflames emotions to mobilize black voters.

109 Things Obama Has Declared War On.

Situation: Obama, much like Lincoln, finds himself elected in the middle of a crisis. For him, a second depression may be occurring, for Lincoln the country was split by the strong feelings towards slavery and a war was about to take place. Both of these men have been faced with challenges. Lincoln’s were overcome, Obama’s may very well be.  

    

A second depression IS occurring. A second term would be terminal.  Unemployment has been over 8% for 42 months now. I like how the author is really confident about Obama overcoming his challenge: Obama’s MAY very well be. I don’t think this page has been updated since Obama took office.

Their Campaigns: Lincoln won his campaign by telling his life story, a child raised in poverty who made his way to the top. Obama won his campaign by creating hope of a better tomorrow for his country.

I fail to see the comparison.  Obama’s story has been proven to be nothing more than ghost writers, delusion, and composite people/places.  We know nothing about him.  He has no record to look to, which is quite stunning in this age of technology and instant access.  Yet we know volumes about Abraham Lincoln, down to intimate details of his personal life – a man that lived in the 1800s before we even had indoor plumbing, air conditioning, and cars.  Obama created an illusion of hope.  But that’s where it ends. 

Lincoln’s good name needs to be restored.  Obama can hold no claim over the man, his work ethic, his morals, his accomplishments, and/or his service to our country.  The two are diametrically opposed.
