1. 'Labor is prior to, and independent of, capital....

Capital is only the fruit of labor, and could never have existed if labor had not first existed. Labor is the superior of capital, and deserves much the higher consideration.'

Who said this?:

Abraham Lincoln
Barack Obama

12. Thanks for this.

Nice to read ONE POST that isn't full of frothing hatred against this president in this thread. Of course, it's the usual suspects infesting a thread that is complimentary toward President Obama, but they'll swear to the very end that they had voted for him - twice! Uh-huh.

13. Obama never leaned so left as to espouse such words or ideals.

I would expect those words to have come from Lincoln.

On the other hand, you have a person like Obama who appointed folks like Geithner and Summers to his economic team, the same people who helped to crash the economy in the first place. Obama never ran as a leftist. He ran as a center-rightist instead, in competition against the far-right.

2. I would have preferred a reincarnation of Edward Longshanks.

4. I would've preferred FDR, but Photoshop or not...so to the Photoshopper savvy, FDR away,

or Longshanks...depending upon your own view.

5. It wasn't physical likeness I was going for,

But the manner in which he dealt with opponents.

[mother earth]

7. Seriously? Me too, Photoshop is for dramatic effect. A Longshanks man should appreciate

that.

I ask you to judge me by the enemies I have made.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.

3. You forgot Obama is a "cool swagger man".

6. Not even close.

8. So far apart the mere comparison is obscene. Lincoln had no shortage of flaws

and he made some terrible decisions, but he handled the office and held beliefs completely opposing those of our current President. If you insist on comparing President Obama to a previous President, I would suggest Wilson.

[JackRiddler]

11. Yeh, Wilson...

There are more recent examples, too. This is a repeat of Clinton, just in a different time. The New Democrat formula, perfected.

[Egalitarian Thug]

16. Now that you mention it, Wilson was much more liberal than the President and his accomplishments

tried to move us in the right direction.

I'll go along with Clinton.

[woo me with science]

9. Absurd. nt

[graham4anything]

10. Lincoln-FDR-LBJ-Carter-OBAMA all 5 are part of each other. They all built all of them.

Without any of the 4, there wouldn't be Obama.
Same for any of them

they are a continuation of the forward movement

[trotsky]

14. Other: he's a reincarnation of a Hawk who flew in Spiral patterns.

Or maybe that's you.

[Oilwellian]

15. This is ridiculous n/t
