Obama compared himself to Lincoln. Okay, stop laughing. He really did.

Obama is really getting desperate if he wants people to think he’s Abraham Lincoln.



What American needs is an emancipation from Obama’s failed policies.



Power Line



Byron York is chronicling the outrages committed by President Obama on his taxpayer-funded campaign swing through Iowa and the Midwest. I was in the midst of a post on Obama’s whine that he is the victim of “bad luck,” as reported by Byron, when his latest dispatch landed in my inbox: “Obama compares woes to Lincoln.”



At his campaign-style town hall meeting in Decorah, Iowa, President Obama compared the criticism he has received from Republicans and other political opponents to the troubles faced by President Abraham Lincoln during the civil war. “Lincoln,” the president said, “they used to talk about him almost as bad as they talk about me.”



The only thing Obama and Lincolm have in common is that they were presidents. Other than that Obama has shown that he’s way over his head. Despite the hype from the media, Obama isn’t in the same level as Lincoln as an orator either.



I ask people can you give me a memorable Obama quote? The results are always the same, blank looks on their faces.
