Everything mentioned here is what OBAMA is doing. Abraham Lincoln knew 150 years ago that it wouldn't work, yet here we are 150 years later with a president who is trying this same thing. IT WON'T WORK. Romney knows what does work, and Lincoln knew, and Reagan knew, and many other presidents knew. Obama doesn't get it.
Corporate profits are at record highs, corporate taxes are near-record lows... please explain why this hasn't created the utopia Republicans promised would happen?

So, now that we know that this has been misattributed, does that change your vote?
My vote isn't based on this quote. But the way Romney thinks agrees with this quote. Okay, what I am reading is that this quote was by someone else, but was widely attributed to Lincoln, and people at the time just went with it and didn't seem to care to change the perception that it was by him. It doesn't matter. It is still a great quote, no matter who said it, and it is TRUE. Everything mentioned in this quote is exactly how Obama goes about things and it doesn't work.
But you just ignore the content and try to deflect by disputing the origin of the quote. It doesn't matter who said it. This thinking is the way Romney thinks, and it's the reason I am voting for Romney. It's exactly the opposite of the way Obama thinks.

As I said in my last post, and what you already knew, is that I wasn't basing my vote on this quote.This quote just happens to show the difference between Obama and Romney and I like the quote because of that; I don't like Romney because of the quote. Also, what I read is that this quote did originate in the time of Abraham Lincoln and the quote WAS widely attributed to him. But as I said, it doesn't matter if Lincoln didn't say it. It is still true and the "cannots" are still EXACTLY the way Obama is trying to do things and the fact remains, it doesn't work.

Unemployment is high, the economy is the worst it's been since the Great Depression. Explain how this is utopia?
