Obama to "Lincoln": You're "my homeboy"

To use President Obama's words, Abraham Lincoln was "in the house" at a campaign event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, on Tuesday.

Mr. Obama singled out an audience member dressed as Lincoln as "my homeboy from Illinois." He also called the former president's stand-in, "an outstanding Republican endorsee."

The two shook hands on a ropeline afterwards.

In the same speech, Mr. Obama said 2012 will be his last political campaign, "no matter what."

"I've got nothing else to run for," he told supporters.

You can take kid out of the 'hood but you can't take 'hood out of the boy, I see.

Sorry Obummer, he is dead so you cannot pander him for a vote.

President Lincoln's great legacy: a Black American was elected president of the United States of America. The South's legacy: dislikes neither one.

ouch

[Celtic5584]

A lot of opinion about our current POTUS, instead of facts. also most of the comparisons have no relevance to each-other making the whole thing stink of uneducated though and baseless rhetoric. (i.e. Lincoln was born in the United States. =!= Obama is a skinny lawyer and had zero experience.)

[castlewood2]

Homey don't play that game Obama! Away from the telepromoter and this community organizer starts talking jive. Lincoln did a full rotation in his grave. No Obama reelection.

The Republican Party has always called itself the "Party of Lincoln". Does anyone here think that President Lincoln would sign into law today a bill that allows credit card companies to charge up 32% interest? Just asking.

[CaptainSmollett]

Well TJ, if you borrow from me I'd charge you 50%, so the card companies are a bargain.

[reformed_druid]

Lincoln was the first Republican president, that's why they are the 'Party of Lincoln'.

Holder is the highest justice official in the country who has lied under oath many times and been in contempt of congress for stonewalling and refusing to cooperate with the senate committee- Stimulus money was used to give guns to the Zeta Mexican Drug cartel- Thousands have died (not hundreds) and many more will die YET NO ONE will go to jail for these crimes because the powerful Democratic machine is in league with the news-media who refuse to report anything about Obama's entire past criminal history and covers up his crimes- such as his FORGED birth certificate & multiple SSN's used in real estate scams- much more than this is known but Obama had his past history destrotyed at the cost of millions- he even surrendered his LAW license to avoid investigation-The American NEWS-MEDIA BLACKOUT on Obama's past criminal history is UNFORGIVABLE- Obama leads America into a new era of unprecedented CORRUPTION

[tb91006]

You might find this interesting. The NAACP Required Photo I.D. to See Holder Speak in State Being Sued Over Voter ID. Racists are usually hypocrites as well.

[HarryOrielly]

Mr "O" is an excellent speaker & likable but he always seeks the spotlight to keep laying his cons on America- A master con-artist who says what people want to hear and is charming- but he is CORRUPT to the bone- The only president in history to spend millions to hide his past (criminal) history- he even surrendered his LAW license to avoid investigation- The biggest FRAUD in history now leads America into a new era of unprecedented CORRUPTION

[tb91006]

I dont even find him likable anymore..

[Moveon_Misfits]

Lincoln didn't free Obama and his family in Kenya.
Isn't he still a subject of Queen ElizabethII?
LOL!

[fiddlestickawshucks]

Hopefully, this is not another lie Obama is putting forth.

He may have nothing else to run FOR, but he has plenty to run FROM.!!

His performance in the White House is abysmal.

If Obama goes, Soros goes with him, and they can't go fast enough to suit me.

Obama (controlled by Soros) and the current Congress have done more damage to the US than any others I can recall.

I can't wait for November to get here and we can vote the Democrooks and Republicrooks out of office.
