So...now he's Abraham Lincoln...
is that the spin: Abraham Lincoln, is that to go down in history as a fact, who will stand to refute it? from spoiled, failed, frat boy, "clown of the family" (admitted by his own brother), wannabe oil tycoon/tyrant, boy king/caesar.........to Abraham Lincoln?

how little do republicans care for their history

5. Hallelujah! He's the great emancipator!

We all know how that ended. The closest he ever got to Lincoln was standing on the deck of the U.S.S. Lincoln and declaring mission accomplished.

11. whatever fool made that comparison - needs a history lesson,
