  • @daplaya87 I totally agree...he missed the whole point. Not a celebration, the example the President was quoting was to demonstrate impossible compromises. He is not "reveling in it". You missed it Cenk...because your so disappointed in him at present. Read these comments and reply for once.

  • @erjoalgo Listen, you pathetic dipshit, this isn't news worthy, its a pathetic attempt to bash Obama by over analyzing his speech and then nit-picking at it. Was he reveling in it? No, he was discussing the priorities and necessitates during the Lincoln presidency. Was there a reason behind this conversation? Yes absolutely, he is a politician, learn what the word means.

  • I agree with Cenk. I mean I can't believe he even made this comparison. In Obama's case, it would be more like telling the south, "well okay what if you just got half the slaves"

  • Pissdick asscum

  • To made that is not what Obama doing, If Obama was Linclon he would have left the South have everything they wanted .

  • "I remember after George Bush won his first election, which was the second one..."

    Brilliant.

  • Obama just dropped some fucking knowledge, Not only did he talk about one of the lesser known historical lies in our country, but also said the media was complicit. This guy is a puppet but he did show a little honesty here whicch is refreshing.

  • Linclon was awesome because he kept the union together

  • I am a slow walker, but I never walk backwards. - Abraham Lincoln
