See, now this is the sort of thing that’s just going to make Mister Liberty Girl start all that stomping and cursing again.
Both Abraham Lincoln and President-elect Barack Obama were not from Illinois but became two of the state’s top politicians.
They were both criticized for being too inexperienced to become president of the United States.
Both were raised by women other than their mothers (Lincoln by his stepmother and Obama by his grandmother) and later visited the women before their respective inaugurations. Both women died before the respective inauguration days.
You just. don’t. go. comparing Mister Liberty Girl’s Very Favorite President with a socialist buffoon who hoodwinked an already mentally-challenged populace into electing him. Especially on such pathetically tenuous “connections,” and most particularly before the pretentious, elitist bastard HAS EVEN TAKEN OFFICE.
But that’s what you media halfwits have done from the beginning, used your dubious influence to ensure the guy who would sell the most papers won the Big Prize. And now that you have your stalking horse almost in place it seems it’s a real struggle to come up with the required number of lines, hence these sorts of mind-boggling puff pieces. I’d love to say that I really look forward to your collective comeuppance, but since this entire charade is all about the advertising dollars to come, you never really will get what you deserve.
Well, at least until your industry collapses in ruins. Ta!

Update: Ahh, the eloquent Ted from The Line is Here most effectively channels Mister Liberty Girl. Yes, I keep linking to them…they’re brilliant and I want to grow up to be them someday.
Odd. What moron wrote that? I can recall personally drawing comparisons between GWB and Lincoln while other assclowns were identifying him with Jefferson Davis.
Besides. Lincoln was a Republican. Why aren’t they trying to link Obama to a good Democrat, e. g., Jimmy Carter?
no, not THAT Glenn

Time Magazine has him (Obama) all duded up like FDR on their cover right now. The Libtards can’t WAIT for their New New Deal.
Even though the New Deal extended the Depression for America for about 10 years longer than the rest of the world. That’s why everywhere else it’s just “the Depression”, but here it’s “the Great Depression”.
Obama should fuck things up enough to call this one “the most super awesome Depression of all time!”
Yes, he can!
