Oh Bama Please

Whoever said politics isn't fun is just crazy because how much better does it get when you open your email and see a message like this:

Vahal,

You should be ashamed of yourself, George Bush has killed hundreds of thousands of your people and here you are rooting for some neocon scumbag who is the same as Bush.

On the other hand, Obama is a true revolutionary who will restore America's credibility around the world, he is the "Black Lincoln."

Dave

First of all the only person who has killed hundreds of thousands of my people was Saddam and he is now worm food, thanks to George Bush, secondly the fact that McCain is like Bush is exactly why I support him. And while you may define necons to be latter-day fascists, I see them as visionaries who GET IT.

Oh Dave, when I read, "Black Lincoln," I thought of the car, you know the couches that airport services, not because I am naive but because I was so desperately hoping you did not mean Abe Lincoln.

Since I am a devout admirer of Lincoln, I thought I'd put this following together for you and of course, for my and my readers' entertainment:

Obama: We have real enemies in the world. These enemies must be found. They must be pursued and they must be defeated.

By appeasing the terrorists and withdrawing from Iraq?

Lincoln: In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war

Obama: We're not going to baby sit a civil war.

Obama: The issues are never simple. One thing I’m proud of is that very rarely will you hear me simplify the issues.

When your whole campaign is a senseless four word sentence, "Change We Can Believe," that's pretty damn simplifying...

Obama: Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek

I gotta say, what?

Obama: What Washington needs is adult supervision.

Well you look like a frat boy, so you can hardly market yourself by talking about adult supervision.

Obama: A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, "Huh. It works. It makes sense."

Huh? Yes, I guess I should just nod.

Obama: With the changing economy, no one has lifetime employment. But community colleges provide lifetime employability.

That's why you went to Columbia Community College for your undergraduate studies and Harvard Community College for law school?

Obama: If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress.

Deep.

Obama: I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars.

Sure you are...

Obama: Faith is not just something you have, it's something you do.

Naughty boy...

Lincoln: I have not permitted myself, gentlemen, to conclude that I am the best man in the country; but I am reminded, in this connection, of a story of an old Dutch farmer who remarked to a companion once that 'it was not best to swap horses while crossing streams'

Lincoln: Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves.

Yes, your opposition to the "dumb war" of 2003 was nothing short of denying the Iraqis freedom.

Lincoln: I claim not to have controlled events, but confess plainly that events have controlled me

Now that is humility, that is leadership

Lincoln: Both parties deprecated war; but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.

Think about it...
