Lincon w Troops

The new Lincoln movie is very good, everyone should check it out. Also drop by the Springfield museum and other Lincoln sights, you will love your visit. Trip Suggestions

I followed the path of Lincoln's life as the museum is designed. How did this man emerge to be President, what trials did he face, and what would he think today?

Lincon w Springfield

Lincoln steered an unpopular course not pleasing the abolitionists, considered a devil by the slave owners, and judged a weak leader by political allies and foes. Would he have advice for Obama today? President Clinton seems to have advice to offer.

Would Lincoln be a part of today's GOP, or would he have left it? Would he be an independent or would his belief in progress put him in the ranks of the Democratic party?

Would the author of this line "It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged." support the super pac agenda?

What advice from the man who wrote, "to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves, and with all nations." Yes, what would Abraham Lincoln advise Obama today? 

'Hanging Chads' by outragousart.

I believe President Lincoln would recommend that President Obama after re-election wage war on the GOP/Tea'er party. You thought, I would suggest the "malice towards none; with charity for all" Lincoln, no doubt.
