Obama: Lincoln was a bipartisan

History is being re-written everyday. Abraham Lincoln was a bipartisan. That's what President Barack Obama things. He also believes that if Lincoln was alive today, he would be in favor of his stimulus package.

Now, let's look at the facts about our 16th president, Abraham Lincoln. He was not bipartisan. If he was a bipartisan, the Confederate States of America would still be in existence. There would have been no American Civil War. Lincoln would have not suspended habeas corpus, where people were arrested for no real reason and could be held for no other reason than this person did not side with the Union and was a traitor. Around 18,000 Confederate sympathizers were held without trial.

Remember what the Democrats said about President George W. Bush having terrorists jailed at Gitmo? Bush actually is allowing a trial.

Would Lincoln have approved of the stimulus package? Most likely not. Why, you may ask? Lincoln was a Constitutionalist. He would most likely want the government to stay out of the private sector.

Look at the Founding Fathers of our nation. Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, John Adams and the others did not even want the government of the United States to even build roads. The Founding Fathers wanted the people of the country to work together to build projects. Franklin, himself, did not take any government money when he built the nation's first hospital, first library and college. He took donations from people who wanted these projects built. Just look at how far we have come! The government now builds everything. How would our Founding Fathers, not to mention Lincoln, think of the America of today?

By the way, today is Abraham Lincoln's 200th birthday. Happy Birthday President Lincoln!!

Obama wishes his best to Lincoln too during today's birthday celebration:


Obama says that Lincoln is his inspiration. Maybe Obama should look more into that. He should has himself, what would Lincoln do in this situation?
