Obama & Lincoln

I know it is outright blasphemy to some people to say or think anything critical of Barack Obama, but I find this quote from the blog "iOwntheWorld" to be pretty humorous (and well written):

It might have been quaint had Obama likened himself to some B-List American President. The temerity to go from 0-60, like a Porsche Boxster, straight to Lincoln is usually a bit too much hubris for the average politician to pull off. Is one pit stop at the James K. Polk exit too much too ask?

But Obama is no ordinary politician. The righteous wind that Obama feels at his back is the Media Tabernacle Choir constantly singing his praises.

Consider the media's reaction to Lloyd Bentson's smackdown of Dan Quayle when Bentson said, "Senator, I served with Jack Kennedy: I knew Jack Kennedy; Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine. Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy." The media's take was that this was a well deserved shot across the bow of the impudent young senator.

And what was Quayle's brazenness? He pointed out that he was the same age as Kennedy. Not that he was Kennedy.
