| It would be natural for Barack Obama to begin his second term with a chip on his shoulder, emboldened by a reelection victory that, viewed through his eyes, ratified his agenda and punished his rivals for extremism. It also would be a mistake. Starting with his inaugural address on Monday, the president might want to consider the example of another former Illinois lawmaker who rose from obscurity to assume the presidency at a time of peril. Like President Obama, Abraham Lincoln had to triangulate between harsh obstructionists from an opposing party and radicals from within his own.

This guy has so much chutzpah, so much hubris, he´s going to make all the past 2nd term disasters look like, well, er, "bumps in the road", to coin a term. I well remember when Clinton was twisting in the wind (due in no small part to our beloved hostess), I was Walkin´ On Sunshine. I can´t wait for this Amateur to step in in it. Big Time.

There was a greatness to Lincoln to the same extent that there is a smallness to Obammy.

All Obama has to offer is Hatred, Fear and Envy. That´s what class warfare is all about.
Expect plenty of malice from the most hateful and useless piece of excrement ever to occupy the White House.

...must say that after four years, I get pretty tired of the Lincoln comparisons that are often made, but Fournier has a point to make, BUT, 0bama has no chance of rising to the level he speaks of...
...the man lacks the character and moral authority to heal the country. He comes from the side that would rather have the country go to war with itself with destruction as it´s goal...
...but please be sure to watch the video on the right, will lighten your day...

The Obama/Lincoln comparisons are absurd on their face unless we have another civil war but even if Obama said something magnanimous at the inauguration,it would hold water about 5 minutes.
Like rush was saying earlier this week,it fascinates him that journalists in the DC bubble actually believe Obama´s is an up and up person you can take at face value.
The author of this story completely blinds himself to Obama´s real goals and the treachery he´ll use to justify his ends. person.

Fournier seems to think Obama wishes America well. Yet Obama keeps talking about ´fundamentally transforming´ America - pretty clear evidence that Obama can´t stand America as we know it. Expect malice 24/7/365 for the next four years. Obama, after all, has achieved ´flexibility.´

I think it is valid to compare the current criminal occupant of the White House with Lincoln. Lincoln was a tyrant who trampled the Constitution, usurping powers that were not legally his. He subjugated Sovereign states, jailed newspapermen and even congressmen for criticizing his policies, suspended habeas corpus and ruled like a monarch by usurpation and abuse. It was Lincoln who set us on the road to where we are now.
Just like King El Barak al Hussein ibn Obama. May the two of them meet in hell. Bastards.

According to the polls a lot of Americans think that Obama is a crappy President who they like a lot personally. There has got to be reasons for such an anomaly in the polling results, first Obama is a crappy President, the American people got that right; but the American people also see Obama personally through a racial filter, and in keeping with American racial experience a lot of people are just not going to publicly tell a pollster that they do not like the first black President personally, even though in Obama´s case based upon his political record, they may actually feel otherwise. People don´t realize that by being dishonest with the pollsters that they are actually giving Obama a political advantage.

[Editor´s note: This article contains highly disturbing, graphic images. Please proceed with caution.] Who is Dr. Kermit Gosnell? Dr. Kermit Gosnell, age 72, ran an abortion clinic for over 20 years in Philadelphia, now dubbed as the ‘House of Horrors.’ Gosnell allegedly performed illegal, late-term abortions (past the 24-week limit permitted by law), cutting the spinal cords of countless aborted babies. Gosnell also employed unqualified staff, including teenagers and two other “doctors” who were merely medical school graduates without a license. Gosnell allegedly made millions of dollars over his 30-year career and lucrative cash-only abortion practice, as well as

The First Family’s 2012 tax returns are out today and they show that the Obamas paid an effective federal tax rate of 18.4 percent, almost half of the top tax rate last year. Neil Cavuto reacted on Your World this afternoon as the news broke, pointing out that President Obama slammed Mitt Romney for paying an effective tax rate of 14 percent on his income during the presidential campaign. “Remember what a big deal ‘fatcat Mitt’ supposedly dodging the tax man was then, and ask yourself why the president paying not much more isn’t remotely a big deal now,”

The Republican National Committee “affirms its support for marriage as the union of one man and one woman, and as the optimum environment in which to raise healthy children for the future of America and … implores the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the sanctity of marriage in its rulings on California’s Proposition 8 and the Federal Defense of Marriage Act,” according to a resolution approved at the group´s meeting in Hollywood.

They say they were just doing what the boss trained them to do. But eight former employees of a run-down West Philadelphia abortion clinic now face prison time for the work they did for Dr. Kermit Gosnell. Three have pleaded guilty to third-degree murder. And Gosnell, 72, is on trial in the deaths of a patient and seven babies allegedly born alive. In testimony at the capital murder trial this past month, an unlicensed doctor and untrained aides described long, chaotic days at the clinic. They said they performed grueling, often gruesome work for little more than minimum wage,

President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama reported income of $608,611 in 2012 and paid $112,214 in total taxes, the White House announced Friday. Tax documents released by the White House show the first family donated $150,034 to 33 different charities, representing nearly a quarter of their gross income. In addition to his federal salary, Obama made $258,772 from book royalties. The president´s effective federal income tax rate was 18.4 percent. That represents a decline in both income and effective tax rate for the first family from 2011, when the president saw an income of $789,674 and paid

LOS ANGELES — Jonathan Winters, the cherub-faced comedian whose breakneck improvisations and misfit characters inspired the likes of Robin Williams and Jim Carrey, has died. He was 87. The Ohio native died Thursday evening at his Montecito, Calif., home of natural causes, said Joe Petro III, a longtime family friend. Petro said Winters died of natural causes and was surrounded by family and friends. Winters was a pioneer of improvisational standup comedy, with an exceptional gift for mimicry, a grab bag of eccentric personalities and a bottomless reservoir of creative energy.

WASHINGTON- Retail sales contracted in March for the second time in three months, a sign the American economy may have stumbled at the end of the first quarter. Retail sales fell 0.4 percent during the month, the Commerce Department said on Friday. That was below analysts´ expectations that sales would be flat. Readings for retail sales have been volatile so far this year, making it difficult to know whether the weakness in March was due to a tax hike that went into effect at the start of the year or to temporary factors related to the weather.

But Hvistendahl soon learned the downside to uncovering what many believe to be a shocking trend in human rights offenses: people will want to do something about it.

Only one of my six children has left New York for economic reasons but the strain of living in this expensive nanny state is weighing heavy on my other five and their families. As a native New Yorker, I´ve seen its middle class population decline over the years due to its neglect of blue collar families which is ironic since this is a Democrat city. With the recent arrests of several local politicians for corruption perhaps New Yorkers will pay more attention to those they put in office. Given their past indifference in local elections this is highly unlikely.

Seven hundred Military Special Operations professionals. And one insistent and very angry Mom. This is becoming a deadly combination for the political game players in the Obama Administration. Sean Smith, the young State Department computer wizard who was brutally murdered that September night in Benghazi, was Pat Smith’s only child. Let’s say that again. Sean Smith was Mrs. Smith’s only child. To listen to her recent radio interview with another Sean… Sean Hannity… is to have the heart break.

I’ve been writing about media coverage of abortion for many years. And so have many others. If you haven’t read David Shaw’s “Abortion Bias Seeps Into The News,” published in the Los Angeles Times back in 1990, you should. That report also explains why we cover the topic here at GetReligion.But the thing is that I’m getting kind of sick of pointing out egregious bias only to see things not just remain bad but get worse.

As attendees of the Republican National Committee’s spring meeting debated party rules and a refurbished GOP brand capable of winning back the White House, more than two dozen operatives and officials expressed worry that none of their party’s potential 2016 candidates can take her down.
