This is so insulting.
Rahm Emanuel compared failed President Barack Obama, the worst economic president since the Great Depression, to the Great Emancipator, Republican Abraham Lincoln.
CNS News reported:
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, the former chief of staff to President Barack Obama, likened Obama’s values and “ability to see a clear road where everybody just sees fog” to President Abraham Lincoln as depicted in the 2012 Steven Spielberg movie “Lincoln.”
Speaking at Northwestern University on Friday, Emanuel said, “And I think the president’s experience as somebody who was a community organizer on the South Side, dealing with the steel workers who had lost their jobs and lost any possibility of having a job in their industry mid-life, how they were going to retrain, how they were going to get themselves back on their feet and how they were going to value themselves, was a guiding principle for him.”
Democrats hated Abe Lincoln when he was president.
Now they want to liken themselves to the great Republican leader.
Pathetic.
UPDATE: Allen West? maybe… Barack Obama? never.
