For Presidents day: What if George Bush is our centuries Abraham Lincoln? Think about it! And read on鈥??

Lincoln, regarded as one of our most popular and beloved presidents was hated, and desired dead by the majority of his contemporaries.

Several attempts made on life resulting in success. The U.S. divided amongst itself to brother fighting brother. Yet Lincoln saw his duty as preservation of the Union at all costs! The discord and disagreement amongst offices in his cabinet left decisions of great magnitude to him with little insight other than his own beliefs.

A republican, he held radical views and furthered the gap between him and the political center. Sending young men to die fighting for a position they did not share nor held sacred. A population against the concept of war was defended as his platform. The election of 1860 had no favorites, as discord within the Democrats yielded the election to the Lincoln by a slim margin. This event, by some, is considered the element that erupted into the civil war.

With an open mind compare, do you see similarities? I welcomeyourview

As a somewhat educated person in both psychology as well as United States history, I think the correlation between the two is quite similar. I am not suggesting that Mr. Bush will have Abe鈥檚 appeal in a century or two, but you must admit it is an interesting concept! And by the way, in 1861 Lincoln was blamed for causing the south鈥檚 rebellion, and further in 1863 with the Emancipation Proclamation.
Don鈥檛 get me wrong, in my eyes Lincoln was a great man! I am a Reagan Republican!

Lincoln did not start a war under false pretenses and then change the justifications when the truths were revealed. He did not start a war to award no contract bids to companies wanting to gouge the american taxpayer, and increase his personal wealth too.

I think your initial corelation may have seemed interesting, but upon further examination, you should have realized it's flawed.

Even if W were to be assasinated, shot in the back of the head at a theater, I think he should still not be compared to such a truly great president.

nothin

GWB didn't start a civil war.

Oh get outta here for suggesting

Yes, I can completely see that by 2100 the earth will be filled of mutant survivors of the Nuclear War and they would worship Bush and The Bomb.

did you know there is controv. that Abe was gay? No really, heard it from a good source.

Idiot.

Lincoln didn't invade another country!!

Look at the difference in their advisers and staff. What Lincoln did on his own (including writing his own speaches), Bush requires a backup crew of hundreds. Without Abe, our country would have divided. It looks to me like George has done more toward dividing the county than in keeping it together.
I do believe that you are way off here.

For President's day, I am goin to buy you a Ouji board and a 7th grade history book.
