Obama Charge Could Extend To New York

Submitted by Steve, Jan 8, 2008 16:08

For all the talk about experience - Abraham Lincoln's sole governmental experience was eight years in the Illinois House and just two years in Congress, yet he was one of our greatest presidents. What Lincoln brought to the presidency, which was very much needed at the time . . . [was] a very fine ear for listening to the public's concerns and then being able to articulate responses that created consensus that was able to move the country forward in positive ways, this is exactly what i seein Obama, a direct comparison to Obama's calls for unity and the way Obama had sparked so much interest from people who normally don't care for politics
