Obama Compares Himself to Lincoln, but Snubs 150th Anniversary of Gettysburg Address

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


For some reason, President Barack Obama has been compared to President Lincoln over and over…and over. You’ve seen reporters compare President Obama to Lincoln too many times. NBC News correspondent Kevin Tibbles even said it was not a coincidence that the release of the Steven Spielberg movie ‘Lincoln’ came the same week Barack Obama was re-elected (although Breitbart’s Warner Todd Huston responded with, “But to compare Lincoln’s turbulent times to Obama’s is the most idiotic, partisan blather that can be imagined.”)

Maybe the comparisons keep coming because the president himself has, of course, made the comparison numerous times every since he announced his first bid for the presidency, although he has more recently tried to deny ever doing so.

Type “Obama Lincoln” into a Google Image search, and you’ll find a plethora of pictures like this:

(Okay, that last one I just added for fun.)

Artist Ron English even put up street art melding Obama and Lincoln’s faces together in a rainbow; and there’s even a website dedicated to it —  abrahamobama.net — if you’re at all inclined.

So, it’s sadly ironic that I must inform all those Abraham Obama Barack Lincoln true believers that the president will not be traveling the 187 kilometers it would require him to attend the 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s immortal address at Gettysburg next week.

In fact, he’s sending Interior Secretary Sally Jewell.

The people of Gettysburg are reportedly quite upset:

Officials in the rural town are doing their best to put on a brave face — especially after rumours over the past year had indicated Mr. Obama would be there.

“I thought he was going to come,” Bill Troxell, Gettysburg’s 86-year-old mayor, told ABC News. “From every bit of information I had, I expected him to be here.”

But the White House recently announced Mr. Obama would not be coming, without giving any reason.

Residents feel it is a mistake and he should be there next Tuesday.

“I would just leave it at we are all very disappointed.”

Hopefully the president’s next brazen attempt to shamelessly liken himself to Lincoln for political gain will be enough to see everyone through these hard times.

      Unfortunately, Obama is all too much like Lincoln. Not the whitewashed Lincoln that’s praised in the revisionist history of our propagandist schools system and the liberal media, but the real Lincoln who was a lifelong advocate of:
      centralized power in the federal government,
      the abrogation of states’ rights,
      printing worthless fiat currency and creating a national bank to facilitate the crime,
      government subsidies to favored industries,
      high tariffs to strangle the southern agricultural states and benefit the industrial north,
      direct income taxation (the first in American history, eliminated in 1872, but revived in 1913),
      censorship and imprisonment of those who criticized his policies,
      and extermination of Native Americans.

      The civil war’s purpose was to consolidate power in Washington and keep the southern states in servitude to the north at the point of a gun. Lincoln was simply after power; he maneuvered to provoke the war that killed more than 600,000 men, which would equate to more than 5 million as a percentage of today’s population.

      Lincoln was a budding dictator. He and Obama do seem to be very much alike.
