The problem with "honest Abe" is that he never had to deal with a post-Bush economy. He never had the collosal misfortune of following Bush, who was the worst president in history. He never had to deal with the most pathetic congressional Republican in history. He didn't have the hindsight that we have now to know that trickle down doesn't work. He knows nothing about today's progressive society. Had no clue that a black his superior would effectively run this country. He didn't know how pathetic Romney is.
I hope you get better.
Personally I think Lincoln would put both Romney and Obama into the same PATHETIC category.
I'm still trying to figure out how "You cannot keep out of trouble by spending more than you have" pertains to Romney? Has anyone looked at Romneys or Ryans big spending budget proposals?
Well, he has been asked, but has failed to explain how he would pay for his five trillion dollar handout.

So, poor wittle obama has it harder than Lincoln? Do you really believe this? obama can't even handle an attack on our embassy in another country and you think he could handle a civil war?
The problem for Obama is Bush left office 4 years ago. Who is he blaming now for the Obama economy?
Things have worked for better under Obama economy, at least since his policies started to show effect. As a result, we have seen private sector add 4.7 million jobs in 32 months (straight). Giving about a year for Bush economic policies to take effect, private sector had added only 1.4 million jobs. But, let us also compare private sector job growth in last four years (fiscal) under Bush, and first three under Obama (the fourth will run thru September 2013, so not counting it):
2006 +2.04 million
2007 +0.99 million
2008 -1.66 million
2009 -6.53 million
2010 +0.38 million
2011 +2.02 million
2012 +1.86 million
Under last four years of Bush economy, change in private sector jobs: -5.2 million
Under first three years of Obama economy, change in private sector jobs: +4.3 million
You can yearn for the former (people like you deserve it), I would take the latter.

Do you realize how that talking point is mindlessly repeated over and over without a second thought? Yet you persist.
* We are in a 30-year republican trickle-down economy.
* Congressional repubs have sabotaged all attempts to fix it over the last 4 years.

...Bush left the largest budget deficit, an unchecked financial bubble in the market and 2 wars funded through debt...
I think Obama and the rest of the world can blame Bush for a very, very long time...
No doubt history has been very kind to Lincoln... He was balancing on a thread for several years and had the Union lost, he would easily be considered the worst President ever.. funny how things can change..
For the record, I think Lincoln was on the right side of history but he definitely abused his power to make ends meet.. and history has basically ignored his transgressions because he kept the union whole.
Its like nuclear war, you may win, but at what cost?
