Lincoln wasn't a great debater . . that's why nobody has ever heard of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. |

Just another lie form the Dems. The Lincoln-Douglass debates were well received. Douglass was a great debater, but Lincoln more that held his own and if you read Lincoln's transcript he would make out Obama to be a fool in his rhertoric. John Hickenlooper championing Obama: "Lincoln wasn't a great debater" The Obama campaign is hauling surrogates all over the Denver metro area today as part of a bus tour to champion the president -- a week after he struggled at the University of Denver in the first debate against Mitt Romney. At one stop, Governor John Hickenlooper told supporters that they have a clear choice in this race. Plus, "Lincoln wasn't a great debater," he said. "We just have to make sure we get him re-elected," Hickenlooper told the crowd of volunteers inside the campaign's 9th Avenue field office. "I will do everything I can to help you. I'll be out there beside you.... I never even ran for student council, so most of you guys know more about this political stuff than I do." Hickenlooper continued, "I can't tell you how important it is. In 29 days, we are making history, right?... It's just like Lincoln. When Lincoln ran for re-election, it was...dead close, I mean really a struggle, really close, and he wasn't a great public speaker. I mean, Obama's a great speaker. Lincoln wasn't a great debater." The crowd of dozens of supporters and campaign volunteers laughed at the comment, prompting Hickenlooper to clarify: "I think he is a great debater, but the people, the grassroots rose up and re-elected Lincoln. And he has, without question, gone down as our greatest president in history -- one of our two or three greatest presidents. I think Obama is that good. It's been a long time since we had someone that we can actually...say this is gonna be one of the great presidents in history." Asked to elaborate on the Lincoln analogy on his way out, Hickenlooper told us, "Evidently...in the Lincoln-Douglas debates, by most accounts, he had a hard time keeping up with Stephen Douglas, who was great. That's what I was referring to." He added, "I go back and read that stuff. I thought...[Lincoln] was a great debater, but the word -- at least as I read the history books -- the word was, he wasn't the greatest debater."...snipped http://blogs.westword.com/latestword/2012/10/john_hickenlooper_obama_lincoln_not_great_debater.php While you are at it Azzhat the The Lincoln–Douglas Debates occurred in 1858 and was for the Senate. Lincoln lost, he wasn't re-elected because he wasn't a Senator at the time. My goodness these Dems are ignorant! They are just plain Dumb! Edited by Baldo, Oct 8 2012, 08:51 PM.

If you also take in the fact that Lincoln was a Republican, and then add in the debate subject...what a great demonstration of Hickenlooper's stupidity... |

. OMG! Talk about Outrageous! Does he understand the Debt? Or does he have the same view of the electorate as Pelosi, Reid, and Owebama's camp? . Edited by Mason, Oct 8 2012, 08:56 PM.

Maybe he actually believes Lincoln was not a good debater or speaker... Maybe he reads about those events and sees them that way... That would explain thinking Obama is a great president... |

Lincoln grew up poor. VERY poor. Obama did not. Lincoln lost many of his election bids before he won the presidency by his very persistence. Obama has had his elections handed to him by the machine. Lincoln wrote the Gettysburg Address. Obama reads from the teleprompter. But they do have something in common.., that is a williingness to force Federalism on the States. I grew up in East Tennessee, and every year we celebrated the birthdays of Lincoln and Washington in our schools. Big deals. It wasn't until many years later that I began to understand another side of Lincoln. I'm sure that Obama's revisionist history professors indoctrinated him all about Lincoln freeing the slaves. They probably never told him that Lincoln himself said that the war was never about slavery, but about the Union. Slavery was invoked as an additional "reason" after the war had started. But Obama, who is always looking for some way to get racism into the mix, would like to identify with Lincoln. Will anybody in the media ever have the guts to mention that Obama is half Caucasian... and if his Afro-features had not been so dominant, he might be passing as a "white" man? He just uses racism for his purposes. It's a cover for his ideology. It's not about the debates, or Lincoln, or anything so simple as that. It is about his willingness to do whatever it takes to win this election so he can finish what he set out to do. And truth is the casualty of his campaign everytime he or his surrogates speak. |
