Abraham Lincoln! You came back! But without your hat...

President Obama has fancied himself to be a reincarnate of Abraham Lincoln. Everything from Obama coming from Illinois to riding on a train to being sworn into office using the same Bible to eating the same meal, Obama has tried to mimick Abraham Lincoln. While this is all very cute of President Obama, he is no Abraham Lincoln.

First of all, it seems that Obama forgot that Lincoln was a Republican. Beyond that major dissimilarity, Lincoln’s view of the government’s role, and Lincoln’s principles are completely opposite of Obama’s. Here are some Lincoln quotes that illustrate how different the two men really are:

“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.” Obama is all about pulling down the house of another that worked hard to help those who don't work as hard. This quote kind of fits with the quote, "You can give a man a fish and it will feed him for a day, or you can teach a man to fish and feed him for a lifetime." The second one should be stressed, but the first is what Obama is going for. This is also stressed in another of Lincoln's quotes, “You cannot help men permanently by doing for them what they could and should do for themselves.”

“Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital. Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.” Obama's tax plans will basically lower the capital of the upper class who earned the capital as a fruit of their labor. The capital will then go do the lower and middle class who may have not earned the fruit of their labor.

“Don’t interfere with anything in the Constitution. That must be maintained, for it is the only safeguard of our liberties.” Obama believes activist Judges should rewrite the Constitution as they wish.

"Congressmen who willfully take action during wartime that damage morale and undermine the military are saboteurs, and should be arrested, exiled or hanged.” Obama was against the War on Terror from the start. Lincoln would have called him a saboteur.
