Before someone throws a hissy fit, this is not bashing Barack Obama. Just another disagreement with something he said. Well, is saying. That he's like Lincoln. (But better.) I guess, though, that it's not surprising, considering he also considers himself a modern day Robin Hood (LOL), and has compared himself to Reagan (???), JFK, and even Paris Hilton once. (Again, LOL.) But those were just little, unimportant things. Except maybe the Robin Hood one. Because that just makes no sense to me. Anyway, back to Lincoln. He uses this one a lot.
Things they have in common: 1. From Illinois 2. "Team of Rivals" 3. Both had/have a lot of challenges going into office (A lot of presidents did)
And I'm not going to put all the other reasons I've seen (looks, controversy... Obama and Lincoln have very different controversies.)
They have completely different views. Totally different. And I really haven't seen Obama having the same attitude and humility that Lincoln had, though he claims to admire it.
Anyway, just made this because everytime Obama compares himself to Lincoln, I'm just like 'eh?'
You know what I would love? Just LOVE? If Obama, now that some people seem to be doubting him, just came out and says something like "You know, there was another Man who had an important job to do, but was doubted by His own followers. But that Man ended up saving the world. That Man, is Jesus Christ. So you, you shouldn't doubt me." 8D Okay, I know Obama's not that dumb. Not even close. But I would laugh SO HARD. And then probably smack him on the head with a block of wood or something.
Hah!! I could totally see you saying something like that to his face.

I think he likes to compare himself to Robin Hood because of his whole "takes form the rich and gives to the poor" thing. But people must be REALLY stupid to not notice his plans are made to take money from the middle class and GIVE IT to the rich, along with the poor. Just like how many Democrats in office have done for years. So thus, it certainly makes no sense.
But... Lincoln? That.. that just makes no sense at all.
And if he compared himself to Jesus Christ he'd pretty much be signing his own death note because if that doesn't seem to imply he's the "Anti-Christ" I dunno what is. After all, didn't it say the Anti-Christ would claim himself as God?

Prince John got all his money by taxing the hard working people until they were poor. Robin Hood was returning the money to it's rightful owners.8) Therefore, Obama = Prince John.
Haha, yeah.8D Seriously... if he did... I would not be able to stop laughing...

Well, it is hard to catch the other things he says between all the hope and change stuff. I'm kind of politics-obsessed, so I pay way too much attention.
