George W. Bush is Abraham Lincoln

Newspapers and magazines characterized him a buffoon. Said he couldn't handle a war, let alone choose men to lead that war.

His own generals second-guessed him. One even ignored him. His economy was in shambles. And his electorate was enraged.

Folks were sharply divided. How did we get into this war? Just how badly are we handling this war?

There was a point when he looked like a doomed one-termer, and despite being re-elected, looked like he'd be, at best, a problem-plagued second-termer.

Foreign nations didn't know what to make of him. His own party often seemed to have its fill him.

His speeches were ignored at the time. His rambling, private musings the stuff of press fodder at the time. He was a dolt, a charlatan, a country bumpkin, ridiculed for telling stories on the stump, but leaving reporters, well, just stumped.

A different world then. Abraham Lincoln then.

Different view now. Abraham Lincoln now.

I'm not smart enough to suggest a present day president can hope for the same historical turnaround.

I am smart enough to say the headlines, and cartoons, of the moment, can look kind of silly themselves.

Funny thing, history.

Well, I guess Cavuto does have one thing right: he's 'not smart enough'.

[Silver Rusher]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What connection does he have with Abraham Lincoln?

[Hurin_Rules]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What connection does he have with Abraham Lincoln?

They're both male. They both have heads and eyes. I think they both wore black pants once. Lots of things, can't you see?

[KukriKhan]

When he does the hat, whiskers, and long coat... and writes his own speeches on the back of envelopes - then we'll talk.

[The_Doctor]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What connection does he have with Abraham Lincoln?

They both dropped their dog out of a helicopter?

[Mithras]

They're both Republicans? They're supported by the North and celebrated for their defence of minorities who are treated like dirt despite the conventional veiws of the time veiws. Lincoln with blacks Bush with gays.

enough sarcasm they've got very little in common. fox,Stop kissing his ass guys

[edyzmedieval]

They both dropped their dog out of a helicopter?

Good one. Still, what's so similar about them?

[Strike For The South]

I hate Lincoln to.

[Ronin]

anyone care to shoot his ass and make them even more similar?

[Divinus Arma]

This is Cavuto commentary, and it was never reported as "news". He's just pointing out a couple of interesting coincidences. Stop your Fox bashing, liberal. We all know Bush is a moron, and we all dislike him for different reasons. I dislike him because he's too liberal. He expands the federal government and ignores State Authority (marriage amendment and no child left behind). This jackball acts as if the enumerated powers were never written. Plus, he's in support of a foeriegn invasion of American soil.

Send him back to his ranch where he can hold hands with the oil barons.

I hope squatters invade his property and camp out in his precious private forest.

I'm technically not allowed to laugh at this. Seriously though, we just need him out of office, not dead. Jeeze.

[Major Robert Dump]

The similarities are interesting, but you have to understand that his life was far from under the day-to-day scruntiny that mass media allow us to put on our politicians today. The country was also largely illiterate. I've found that, so far in my life, the general public perspective of the recent presidents is the same as when they left office, peppered by a few stand-out events for better or worse. The opinions of the left, middle and right haven't seemed to change much on Carter, Reagan, Herbert, and Clinton.

Interestingly enough, it seems JFK is the one who seems to me to have his legacy questioned the most and ever-changing. Incidentally, he was the first president to establish the relationship between the white house and the press that exists today (although Nixon tried to reverse all of that), so its safe to say he was the first president to truly come under scrutiny from the nations eye in the shallow world of television.

[GoreBag]

Shooting him in the ass wouldn't kill him, unless the rumours are true.

[KukriKhan]

Joking intentions are understood... but let's put the ka-bosh on the shooting talk, please.

[Hurin_Rules]

Stop your Fox bashing, liberal.

Sorry, but an extended comparison of Bush to Abraham Lincoln invites--no, demands--abuse.

[Tribesman]

Send him back to his ranch where he can hold hands with the oil barons.

Divinus , you dare to imply that shrub is in someway involved with the petro-chemical bigwigs????????
You traitor
Why do you hate profits ?

[Divinus Arma]

Why do you hate profits ?

Good one.



Bush resembles my balls faaaaar more than he resembles Lincoln. Observe:

• The word "Bush" is important to both the President of the United States and my nuts.
• Both the President and my nuts have an important working relationship with "Dick".
• My testicles and the President both think in very primitive and simple terms.
• The President and my balls both cringe at the thought of gay butt sex.
• Just like my nuts, the President is "The decider".
• The President and my balls have both made mistakes that they are reluctant to admit.
• My balls and the President both like to act now and think later.
• My testicles and the President both like to "Bring it on".
• The President is an early riser and wakes up excited. Just like my nuts.
• Some have compared the similarity of the president to a "monkey". My balls assist me with a certain "monkey".

[Seamus Fermanagh]

There are moments, Div, when you rise above yourself to a level that exceeds our expectations and deserves -- no, demands -- quiet reflection and a zen-like sensation of being perfectly "in the moment."

[Louis VI the Fat]

Brilliant, DA.

[Hurin_Rules]

LOL

Well done.

[Papewaio]

The difference DA is Dick in Bush for you would be hetrosexual sex... for Bush it wouldn't be.

[Reverend Joe]

Good one.

Stop it... you're scaring my testes.

there you go now we can get back to subject!

Priceless.

For six years, we liberals have been telling you conservatives what an idiot Bush is while you have by and large defended him as a great American President and Defender of the Faith. Now, when you finally realize we were right all along, you jump off his bandwagon so hard you break your ankles, and say you don't like him because he's a "liberal."

Doubleplusgood reasoning there.

[KafirChobee]

Sorry, but it was my patriotic duty to forward this to the NSA and FBI - you will now be charged with threatening the life of the Prez, according to the new improved justice department (s).

Seriously, in the 8th grade (1961) I wrote a piece accusing Lincoln of creating the situation for the Civil War (wtf does one know at 13?). My History teacher accused me of being a "revisionist" (which I had no clue about wtf she was talking about - after all when 13 most thoughts are "original"). Today, if I accused Bush of creating lies to allow the invasion of Iraq, I would again be accuse by some of being a revisionist. Only this time, I would be right.

[rotorgun]

While some may say that Mr. Bush and President Lincoln can be compared is true. President Lincoln presided over an unpopular war, so does Mr. Bush. President lincoln was often referred to as an ape or a baboon by his political critics, so too has Mr. Bush been derided as a talking chimpanzee. They share the same political affiliations, and both have been called "religious". Mainly their similarities are situational at best. Read just a few of President Lincolns letters, or only a few lines of the Gettysburg Address and one can see the profound differences immediately. President Lincoln was known for his "folksy" humor, but if one reads some of his little public jests, one sees the clarity of his wit, and his great sense of humor. To listen to a George W. Bush joke is akin to witnessing the act of a child annoncing that he has soiled his pants in the presence of the family guests. As someone in the Org. has quoted "George W. is like a mail clerk who has been promoted to CEO, but really belongs in the mail room." (Anonymous) I have always thought of him as the talking dummy in Dick Cheney's version of the Howdy Doody Show. Whenever that hand comes out, look out! They never know what he'll say next!



PS: Feel free to report me to the republican Gestapo at any time. It would probably be their greatest challenge.

[PanzerJaeger]

His economy was in shambles.

In that respect, George W Bush has Lincoln beat - to the degree that any president can take credit for the economy.

George W will be remembered in a much more positive light as history unfolds.

[Redleg]

PS: Feel free to report me to the republican Gestapo at any time. It would probably be their greatest challenge.

Since there is no Gestapo in the United States nor does a political party directly control the police forces of this nation you are relativily safe...

To much thinking about conspricary theories will rot your brain....

[Hurin_Rules]

George W will be remembered in a much more positive light as history unfolds.

Well, that's easy to say, because you can never be called on it. But I am struggling to think of anything for which he will be fondly remembered. Massive budget deficits? Expanding the size of the government? Initiating constitutional crisis? Undermining human rights? Dividing the nation? Starting elective wars?

What's going to make us forget about all that?

[Major Robert Dump]

My personal favorite praise of Bush (trumped a lot during the second election) was always how he showed such poise, dignity and decision-making in the immediate aftermathg of 9/11. In other words, doing the job that would be expected of the official holding the highest office in the United States. HAHA people acted as if any other person if office would have crawled under the desk in the Oval Office and cried on television.

Come one, people, even Nader would have invaded Afghanistan.

There have been good things and bad about his time in office, but the dumbed down electorate tends to remember the worst not the best, and over generalize at that. As one of my ignorant little colleagues at work once said (insert hot chic voice here) "well Bill Clinton never did anything."

Oh come on. 8 years and never did ANYTHING????

I also think (this would make a good study) that people passing through the blissful ignorance of youth and becoming decision-making adults has a huge impact on opinions as well. Not only do their parents and teachers and media icons figure greatly into their "opinions" (repeating what Dad said isnt really an opinion), but there is typically an information history gap that negelcts recent events. Don't expect a 21 year old to remember a lot about Bill clinton being in office and world events of that time, outside of what they overheard from grown ups, and expect them to not necessarily trust the "history" they learned from grown-ups once they grow up and realize they have been lied to all their lives with cake and ice cream stories in history class. After listening to a good friend who is 35 rant and rave about the ignorance of his 18 year old nephew surrounding the events of the first gulf war, I couldn't help but say "dude, he was a toddler."

[R'as al Ghul]

I'm sorry, I don't understand. What connection does he have with Abraham Lincoln?

Well, they are the same person.
Think about it, have you ever seen them together on one photograph?
