Are you kidding?

Lincoln wasn't even that good of a president. Trampled constituional rights and terribly mismanaged the war (If he had made good choices the South would have been done in a year outside of Lee and Virginia and the Southern states were an embarassment, at least the officers were). The reason he gets so much good press is cause he freed the slaves (which was poltically motivated more than anything) and won the war (meaning Tecumseh Sherman and Grant won the War)

Lincoln won the Civil War by printing his own debt free currency (Greenbacks)... The British bankers then assasinated him... They went on to create the "FED" in 1913...

Default Obama superhero comic books....

"I smell a desperate level of spin."

I smell a strong wiff of gin, a very strong wiff.

Obama has done more to save Koala bears than he has done to save the economy.

First of all , Obama and his team did nothing for the market today . Thank God , please keep it up.
Now to the gains ...
Remember all the cash the big , rich corporations had stockpiled ? They bought their own stock with it . They got a good price , good move.
