Comparing Lincoln and Obama

My brother sent me this as a lighthearted laugh, but I just HAD to over examine it hehe.

First here's what he sent me:

Lincoln and Obama are very much alike:

1. Lincoln placed his hand on the Bible for his inauguration. Obama used the same Bible.

2. Lincoln came from Illinois. Obama comes from Illinois.

3. Lincoln served in the Illinois Legislature. Obama served in the Illinois Legislature.

4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President.

5. Lincoln rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration. Obama rode the train from Philadelphia to Washington for his inauguration.

6. Lincoln was a skinny lawyer. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

7. Lincoln was a Republican. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

8. Lincoln was highly respected. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

9. Lincoln was born in the United States. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

10. Lincoln was called Honest Abe. Obama is a skinny lawyer.


BUT NOT Quite!
Consider this:

1. Obama intentionally flubbed his inaugural oath and retook it in private where he could exclude God. When he actually made his oath he didn't pledge on the Bible at all.
See My:
Why No Bible Obama? -- 1.20.26

2. Lincoln came from Illinois BUT Obama comes from Kenya via Indonesia. He's not even an American.

3. Lincoln was elected to and served in the Illinois Legislature by honest means. Obama stole his Illinois Legislature seat by having all of his opponents, including Alice Palmer (the incumbent who encouraged him to go into politics) disqualified for minor infractions. The people of the state had no other options!

I Hate to Say I Told You So But....



4. Lincoln had very little experience before becoming President. Obama had very little experience before becoming President so-called (he is not qualified under the Constitution so he is not president).

5. I'd replace the train one with: Lincoln oversaw the first Civil War, Obama is starting the Second one.


6. Lincoln was a skinny lawyer. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

7. Lincoln was a Republican. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

8. Lincoln was highly respected. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

9. Lincoln was born in the United States. Obama is a skinny lawyer.

10. Lincoln was called Honest Abe. Obama is a skinny lawyer.
