That February 12, 2009 will be the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's birth. Since I was a kid I had been reading a lot about Lincoln and I consider him one of the best Presidents America ever had despite the Civil War.
It would be a fitting legacy for Barack Obama to be elected and inagurated as the 44th President of the United States on January 20, 2009. Obama knew the legacy of Lincoln and his conduct of the Civil War. Even Obama has a picture of Lincoln in his Senate office didn't y'all know that? During the Civil War Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that freed all the slaves that were in Southern territory occupied by the Union Army.
It will be simpler to remember that Abraham Lincoln's Republican party is NOW Barack Obama's Democratic party. So this year, we will see a true successor to Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt (a progressive Republican), FDR, and JFK that with some of LBJ and Jimmy Carter tossed in for a good measure
Honest Abe would be smilin' up in Heaven knowing what he started would be going on good.

for the link. That'd be a new history in making for the United States. Let's hope for the better to come little by little
