[quote:gomer:MV8yMDQzMjA2XzM0MzM4MDg1X0JFNDg2OTE0] Lincoln was a despot. He killed almost a whole generation of young men because of his ego. The differences between the North and the South were negotiable but he chose war. Because the North won, history was rewritten to make that slime ball look like some kind of saint. [/quote]
Original Message
And the challenges facing the USA (and world) are now incomprehensible for most to fathom, even in part.
A great president will have to make very difficult decisions which will make many people hate him, as a child might hate a strict parent before he grows and attains some wisdom.
Should our economy survive until Jan 1, 2013, we'll see if our president is worthy of greatness, or decides to cowardly kick the can down the road, which is what Wall St. would want, to satisfy their greed.
