Obama is the Lincoln of our generation,

[MASTERBAKER]

Nancy AhrensHistory required a scapegoat to take the blame for what George Bush2 did, with help of banker buddies, but what he did instead makes GOP nervous, and so the banker elite's bought off presses try, foolishly but with repetition, to blot out Black Man's successes.

Nancy AhrensObama is the Lincoln of our generation, who won Against All Odds, with God as his co-pilot. Many complained about Lincoln and called for his Impeachment, at that time, voices stilled when he war gone, too early, but character assassination is just as deadly to the social fabric of a nation, which will survive and rise from the ashes, of this deadly virus called racial discrimination, flames fanned by violence.

Nancy AhrensLike racial intolerance, gender hostility destroyed the fight for ERA and equal rights for minorities, Civil Rights Act of 1964 not enforced by courts of law, which choose to blame moms in family courts and incarcerate blacks in criminal courts without due process. America's intolerance has made us a Third World Nation in our lifetimes.

Obama is a good president, but he's far from great. Many of his problems were also shared by other presidents before him, but Obama's response was pretty mediocre by comparison.

On the scene in South Carolina federal marshals assisted by army troops rounded up many hundreds of Klansmen and associates. The habeas suspension allowed the arrests to take place far more rapidly than they would have otherwise, because the authorities didn’t have to bring the persons arrested before a judge shortly and charge them with a crime. The effects of the sweep went beyond arrest numbers; many Klansmen fled their home counties ahead of the troops and marshals, some fled the state and a few even fled the country. The detainees overwhelmed the available jails and, after they were eventually indicted, clogged the dockets of the courts.

Was this the way Obama handled the church shooting? No, this was Ulysses S Grant. Obama's response was to call for stricter gun laws and encourage the state to change their flag.

He believed WALL STREET FINANCIERS and powerful trust titans to be acting foolishly. While they were eating off fancy china on mahogany tables in marble dining rooms, the masses were roughing it. There seemed to be no limit to greed. If docking wages would increase profits, it was done. If higher rates put more gold in their coffers, it was done. How much was enough?

This quote could easily be in reference to Theodore Roosevelt or Barack Obama. The difference is that the former launched several anti-trust actions to break up monopolies for the betterment of the people and the later took bribes from the banks who ripped them off.

As for a comparison with Lincoln, let me answer with a question. How would Obama have responded to the attack on Fort Sumter?
