Obama = Lincoln?

The mainstream media keeps doing its damndest to frame Barack Obama as the second coming of Abraham Lincoln. We’ve already seen the arrogant Photoshop superimposing Obama’s face over Lincoln’s as well as replacing his head on the penny.

Now the left is gushing over Obama’s plan to use Lincoln’s Bible during his inauguration.

On January 20th, President-elect Barack Obama will take the oath of office using the same Bible upon which President Lincoln was sworn in at his first inauguration. The Bible is currently part of the collections of the Library of Congress. Though there is no constitutional requirement for the use of a Bible during the swearing-in, Presidents have traditionally used Bibles for the ceremony, choosing a volume with personal or historical significance. President-elect Obama will be the first President sworn in using the Lincoln Bible since its initial use in 1861.

“President-elect Obama is deeply honored that the Library of Congress has made the Lincoln Bible available for use during his swearing-in,” said Presidential Inaugural Committee Executive Director Emmett Beliveau. “The President-elect is committed to holding an Inauguration that celebrates America’s unity, and the use of this historic Bible will provide a powerful connection to our common past and common heritage.”

CNN and Newsweek – in true, objective journalistic fashion – have gone so far as to write lengthy columns comparing the two men. But in their lame attempts to elevate Obama’s inexperience by correlating him one of our most respected presidents, they conveniently overlook the fact that Lincoln wasn’t an avowed socialist nor did he have close ties to domestic terrorists or criminals and other questionable people of low moral character.

Next up, Obama’s face on Mount Rushmore.

UPDATE: Although I spoke about Rushmore in jest, apparently someone else already thought Obama deserves a place alongside the greatest presidents in history, despite the fact that he’s not yet taken office or even accomplished anything notable while in the Sentate.
