Honest ABE

Obama on the other hand:

Don’t forget:

* 50 million homeless children in the U.S.

* 90% of Mexico’s illegal guns come from the U.S.

* 47 million uninsured Americans.

All blatant lies. Half of those 47 million uninsured “Americans” are in fact not Americans at all — they’re illegal aliens. Less than 20% of Mexico’s illegal guns come from the U.S.; the majority come from Central and South American countries, the middle east, and China. And the “50 million homeless American children” counted children who were living with their grandparents or other relatives as “homeless.”

Would Pres Lincoln lie to America about America?

And they both contradict themselves.

Any people anywhere, being inclined and having the power, have the right to rise up and shake off the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right - a right which we hope and believe is to liberate the world. Nor is this right confined to cases in which the whole people of an existing government may choose to exercise it. Any portion of such people, that can, may revolutionize, and make their own of so much of the territory as they inhabit. -- Abraham Lincoln

No state, upon its own mere motion, can lawfully get out of the Union. Plainly, the central idea of secession, is the essence of anarchy. --Abraham Lincoln


Team Obama thinks the president, having spent a good portion of the campaign decrying the $2.9 trillion in deficits during the Bush years, can now double the national debt held by the public in 10 years. Having condemned earmarks during the campaign, the Obama administration now believes it can wave through 8,500 of them in the omnibus-spending bill, part of the biggest spending increase since World War II.

I am sure Obama would have PLENTY to say about all those selfish citizens that make HIS life so difficult on a daily basis!

Speaking of Lincoln. When I was in the 6th grade we saw a movie at school about the assasination of Abraham Lincoln. I had not seen a movie before. I had seen shows on tv but not often being that we did not have one. So a movie was something else to me. I went home crying. My brother laughed at me. Could not believe I would cry over a man who had been killed over 100 years prior. My mom was trying very hard to be understanding and correct my older brother for making fun of me but she was having a very hard time not laughing herself. =)

Cool list. Illinois is probably one of the few connecting points.

I am a huge fan of Lincoln, and now for your public service announcement...

If you are ever in the Springfield, IL area, do stop and see the Lincoln tourist attractions.
The house he lived in has been preserved, the tomb and a really neat re-creation of that era...Salem Village located nearby...it would be a fun and educational visit.

Re: Similarities between Lincoln and Obama
 

Been there, done that and want to do it again. In Decatur, Il. there is a museum that has a good display on Lincoln along with the log court house where he practiced law. The museum is in the school building where I attended 6,7 and 8th. grades. Well worth seeing. It is called The Macon County History Museum and Prairie Village.

No Lincoln did't visit the school while I was a student there!!:foottap

Let's be fair now. Coast Hospital in Kenya and 2 other hospitals claim they were the birth place of Barry Hussein.
