Boy, you know, those dead presidents just seem to be able to say whatever The B.O. wants them to say.
Maybe we should have a new Czar of Channeling.

The Obamasburg Address
Washington DC
February 12, 2009
Three weeks and two days ago our community organizers and voter fraud operatives brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Socialism, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created to be subservient to their government.
Now we are engaged in a great class war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave up their individual liberty that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. The gullible voters, living and dead, who were bamboozled here, have consecrated it, far above the diminished power of the people to detract. The media will little note, nor long remember what we are actually doing here, nor will it ever admit what they did here. It is for us the powerful centralized government, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so fraudulently advanced. It is rather for us, the ones we have been waiting for, to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these uneducated, unskilled masses we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these useful idiots shall not have voted, however many times, in vain — that this nation, under Me, shall have a new birth of HopenchangeTM — and that government of the lobbyists, by the politically-connected, for the career politicians, shall not perish from the earth.”

President Obama has urged supporters to help the United States remain “the last, best hope of Earth.” He has ordered staff members to “think anew and act anew.” And he has assailed the “worn-out dogmas” of political ideology.
Each time, his words were reminiscent of those of Abraham Lincoln.
Obama, like so many of his predecessors, wants to link himself to one of history’s greatest presidents.
“He sees Lincoln as a model,” said Fred Kaplan, author of “Lincoln: The Biography Of A Writer.” “Obama echoes Lincoln.”
Also, as the nation’s first black president, Obama can “suggest he’s helping to complete the unfinished work of American democracy that Lincoln spoke about at Gettysburg,” said Harold Holzer, a historian and co-chair of the United States Lincoln Bicentennial Commission.
Wednesday evening, Obama honored Lincoln at a gala at Ford’s Theatre, the recently renovated hall where Lincoln was assassinated in 1865. Thursday the president will discuss Lincoln again as he travels to Springfield, Ill., for the 200th anniversary of Lincoln’s birth…
…Obama borrows Lincoln’s phrases and pacing. In June, when he clinched the Democratic nomination, Obama urged backers to see this as “the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope of Earth.”
The phrase comes not from a Lincoln speech, but from his written 1862 message to Congress, in which he urged members to continue backing the war to save the Union: “We shall nobly save, or meanly lose, the last best hope of earth.”
Obama outlined his admiration for Lincoln in a 2005 essay for Time magazine. He cited Lincoln’s “humble beginnings,” as well as his “rise from poverty, his ultimate mastery of language and law, his capacity to overcome personal loss and remain determined in the face of repeated defeat.”
Obama’s Lincoln-mania has drawn critics over the years.

60 senate votes. obama gets what obama wants.
No doubt and you have the House Republican Whip going out of his way to defend the Crap and Tax 8 saying that they voted for the bill, because they thought it would help get a better bill latter when it comes back to the House and Reicherts response to why he voted for the bill:

“This bill is not perfect, but it is a vital step toward energy independence. America cannot maintain global leadership without innovation and new ideas, and we cannot lead if we increasingly depend on foreign nations to heat our homes and move people and goods. The price of inaction is too great; America cannot stand on the sidelines while our competitors embrace new energy efficient technologies. It’s also important that we engage in a bipartisan discussion as we move forward – this bill has many other hoops to jump through before it becomes law and I will continue to work with my colleagues across the aisle and in the Senate to gain more tax relief for middle-income families.

He is sounding more and more like Obama everyday.
Obama will tag anything onto past civil rights workers, because he has no American civil rights experience. Reading about it, or studying at the knee of your mother is far different than living it. A personal view of that movement escapes him but is convenient to usurp and use for his own purpose. Shame on him. Shame on those that allow him to get away with it.
I love how people consistently revise history. How many times do they need to hear that Lincoln is on the record saying that he would gladly throw the every slave under the bus (back then it would have been “locomotive”) to preserve the Union.
The Civil War was about power. Lincoln refused to accept the loss of the South, and was willing to shed a LOT of blood to keep that power.
Full Stop.
Stuff like this is why I was posting at other blogs, before I even became aware that Rush Limbaugh had similar suspicions, that his delusions of grandeur and sense of entitlement will demand he find a way around the 22nd Amendment.

Whether that be by Michelle O running in 2016, or Obama seeking the nomination, and a SCOTUS decision that will go Obama’s way if he replaces any one of Kennedy, Roberts, Thomas, Scalia or Alito holding the 22nd Amendment as unconstitutional (I don’t think he has time to overcome the requirement of a super majority of the states required for an actual amendment over turning the 22nd), I seriously suspect, one way or the other, we’ll have a President Obama in 2017 if we have one in 2013.

BTW, I am fully aware, on its face, SCOTUS ruling on a Constitutional amendment is laughable, but we already have seen the California Supremes rule on whether or not a constitutional amendment was constitutional…
BTW, the ACORN/Rahm-bo 2010 census will be used to reapportion the House of Representatives (and the Electoral College) for the 2012 elections.
Add on 30 million or so grateful former illegals granted amnesty, and same day registration/voting, and the fact that probably something close to 90% of the Black population will again vote for him, Obama can be trailing by a fair amount among actual current US citizens who pay taxes and only vote once, and still easily win in 2012.
Remember the lesson of Franken and Gregoire and the special NY election, if it is close, the Demoncrats will steal it.
o/t but they aren’t coming for YOUR guns. Not really.
