I keep hearing the media comparing Barack Obama with Abraham Lincoln. How can this be done. First Lincoln was a republican, he was against slavery and wanted to keep our country unified. Second the democratic party back then was in favor of slavery and wanted to divide the country. See

Obama will never be a Lincoln because of of differences in ideology. Lincoln reunited the nation under one flag, Obama will never do that. Obama very sneakily will actually divide the country with his radical views and liberal ideology. So again the comparison is not fair. Just because they are both from "humble beginnings" and from Illinois does not make the alike. Remember Obama went to private schools on the mean streets of Hawaii. I don't think you can compare the two when you are raised by your grandmother who was a bank vice president. Most of the bank vice presidents I know do fairly well. So the humble beginnings thing really is not what it seems.
So in my opinion there really is no comparison. The two actually are complete opposites. What do you think?
