Comments on: Obama, Another Lincoln?

National Review Online: The Media Is Too Quick To Compare The President-Elect To Lincoln Or FDR

[imnho]

Its to early to tell if he is the next Lincoln. It would be great if that happens. I always hope that no matter who wins the election there presidency is a sucess. I would not ind if ever president in the future had the wisdom of FDR oe Lincoln

[wtcmedic911]

At least let him become president and do the job for several years before saying hes anyone other then b.h.o.

No kidding. obmama has never done a blasted thing, never been responsible for ANTHING, has never proven himself or been tested and all of a sudden he''s Lincoln. CNN has become a bunch of dumbed down cultish adoring followers.

This from the hacks who didn''t waste any time comparing him to Carter, even before the election.

Obama wants to be a uniter ... maybe in some sense, but I''ve never seen an election where the honeymoon period was over so quickly. All that "change" he talked about, and then he drags out the same tired old Democrats.

The problem with generating so much hope is that as you fail - even if the reasons are driven by circumstance and entirely logical - true believers fall by the wayside. It''s already started.

Lincoln? Not even close.

Obama isn''t even sworn in yet, and already the poor, bitter neocon terrorists are trashing anything and everything associated with him. The neocons hate America a lot.

Just more media ***.

No more hype puleeeze!!

PLEASE! Just like neonlink said don''t compare Obama yet to FDR or Lincoln. FDR brought this country out of the great depression. Is Obama going to create the CCC camps like FDR did to help get this country back on it''s feet? And another thing we''re living in the present, not back in Lincoln''s time.

Liberals want the best for America.

Sour grapes will not be part of that.

[neonink]

He hasn''t even done anything yet?

And he didn''t do anything in Chicago either.


How about he now PROVES HIMSELF WORTHY OF COMPARISON? Is that too much to ask for?
